tonality to colour
Hi Forum
Would there be a MAX patch wich translate pitch in to colour
Regards
Bo
This is very subjective. I do recall a patch from someone you was
translating midi key numbers into a kind of color bar display. Perhaps
Andrew Benson?

Too wide an area for such a broad question. Here's a simple patch that takes MIDI pitches in and applies the Scriabin colors to a panel.

Thanks for all of your input.
I realise the inaccuracy of the question.
I had something like the idea of scriabin in mind for live performance...
thanks again for good advise

I responded that this is quite subjective but relating sound and color can
be very powerful. Personally, I don't worry that people cannot agree what
color goes with what sound. Make your own connections then use your eye in
the same way that you use your ear. After all, music is largely subjective.

and remember that if the motion is sufficiently fast, many people's
minds will manufacture a relationship to the sound even if you do not
plan one.

the question is what is "pitch" and what is "color".
if you have a range of hertz values and you want to translate it to a range of rgb values this is probably not too difficult (but also not too interesting)
i find the most important part of audio what can be expressed in video is how fast things change.
spectrum (16 fft bins?) and power history can make great basic controllers for video effect input.
HI again
and again thanks for the internet :-)
I'm sure that in all aspect of composition to make the right question is the thing.
Thanks Roman Thilenius.
As an newbe im doomed to put daft questions, here is one:
when I use the patch wich CHris Muir so kindly attached
my MAX says quote:
• error: max: doesn't understand "min"
• error: max: doesn't understand "loses"
• error: coll: No such object
• error: poobah: No such object
• error: poobah: No such object
I upload a screendump.
I suspect that i have to construct a object ( colourwise) ?

It works for me here.
Perhaps there was some extra text on the clipboard, as well as the lines that start with # ?

Hi -C
A Newbe question.
Should'n the colour objeckt (bgcolor 100 100 100 ) be connected somehow !?
I suppose that the colour should show themselves at the lower part of the pacth ( Panel object ) !?
It doesnt, but maybe as you write I have copied something wrong :-(
Thanks for the patch anyway :-)
yours
Bo
