Converting colour to audio frequency


    Feb 03 2017 | 8:50 pm
    Hi everyone
    I working on one project that involves synesthesia between colours and audio, but I got stuck and I don't know how to proceed further.
    My starting idea is to try to convert a colour, from an image or a swatch, to a frequency value and after that I would like to use that frequency to map it to an (audible) sound freq. After some research I found a way to convert a midi note to a color and now I would like to invert the process and try to start from a colour, get it's frequency and map it to a sound frequency.
    Do you guys think that this process would be possible? Here you can find the patch that I'm working on, any help/suggestions are more than welcome.
    Thank you all

      It's really a matter of aesthetics. I don't believe there are any guidelines beyond your own imagination. Enjoy )

      @ernest pointless comment. why write that? you remind me of how hard it was to get started with jitter with comments like yours. you know what the guy means
      @nico oink
      you used the word map a lot , well this si what you'll have to do. create a big map. deciding on what frequency/sample represents which color.
      use jit.iter of spill , to convert matrix data to max data. then decide on a range of frequencies or sample using poly~
      here are a few setup startup ideas:
      here is a link to rob's video where he uses a matrix to communicate with a oscbank~ see. my patch to understand what I

      Hi did you manage to get something working? In the process of doing something similar and wondered if you had any advice.
