Sketch Synth

Short description

This is an experimental test app. It works like the UPIC of Iannis Xenakis or synthesizes images as sound. In particular, this application uses hand-drawn sketches to convert music and synthesizers.

First, load a hand-drawn image (jpg or png, key : o)
Moving and set up a position of the red wavetable zone and the green play zone
Change the contrast parameters of the selected area
Playing and stopping is by spacebar
Optional parameters are speed, frequency, overlap

A hand-drawn sketch image should be on the white background. If the background of the image is darker than a sketch, the ‘Invert colors’ option creates a better play and wavetable area.

There will be more features and updates.
