indeed, even though one gets the gist.
Well, here's your chance to make a better one :)

The videos at http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/videos.html are better
quality, but there's nothing there about temperament-analysis or
demonstrating analogies of patterns at different orders of magnitude of
frequency.

maybe http://clam-project.org/

http://isophonics.net/sawa/ is a web-interface that can do so (alas, the
website's upload function seems to broken at the moment) but under the
hood it uses the http://www.vamp-plugins.org/ as does sonic-visualizer.

Maybe s.o. else on the list knows one.

sure, it's definitly a good tool to hands-on explore the "wider
ramifications of music".

have fun,
