Trying also to find a high rpm solution similar to the “rabbit tanaka” rave light http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1h_YOoy0PM, not necessarily with leds, but I came up with the following that may help:
USB “DC motor controller” / Brushless Speed Controller
BLD 7010 http://www.faulhaber.com
Jrk 12v12 http://www.Pololu.com

But still trying to find a solution for the following:
Any way to connect 8 high rpm brushless motors to VVVV via 1 USB for multiple overlapping wagon wheels / moire effects with independent velocity control?
