ETI (I think) did a multi channel LED spectrum analyser back in the
70's, one board per channel with about 10 LEDs. The article should
still be relevant. Can probably dig up details if you want.
Basicially it's a band pass filter with a peak detector per channel.

Cheaper to use an old computer with soundcard and SA (FFT) software these
days.

Look at Circuit Cellar web site (www.circuitcellar.com). I am pretty sure
I've seen article about one recently. They have list of all articles in all
editions. Some are available online.
