How to convert text into signal in max? Is it possible somehow?

Another experimental idea.

text-to-signal

Sure technically that's possible. You could i.e. read a textfile, spell it character by character and assign a signal level to each. Like in all data mapping the crucial point is the translation process/algorythm in order to have a "meaningful" result. Data fetched from one domain usually has a very different inner logic/pattern than data needed for the target domain. So it's usually rather easy to create a "meaningless" noise in the target domain and more difficult to find a translation process that idealy creates an "understandable" new signal: meaning that the result has a recognizable aethetics and (in my opinion ) also the relation to the data scource is recognizable.
