I was wondering if anybody could help me on a installation im working on. First off im i just want to let you know my knowledge of Max/MSP is basic at best but im hoping to improve this through this project. Ok with that said the first step of my idea is converting pictures into sound by reading the colour scale of that image which would in turn trigger a number different interesting synths (like a granular synth).

The second part of my idea is that these pictures will be played on a slideshow at random in max, with each image being displayed for about 10 seconds and as they do, trigger the synths.

The resulting effect is that each picture will create it's own piece of 'music' if you will and each will sound slightly different from previous picture.

Heres a video that will hopefully give you a better understand of what im trying to achieve, just with my idea having a slideshow to display multiple images:

If anybody has any advice, ideas or even a better way on how i should approach this project i'd really really appreciate it. Thank you

Hey, I appreciate this was almost 5 years ago, but did you make any progress on this?

I have to produce something similar for a university project and I'm totally stuck, have no idea where to begin.
