Sound to Visual - Ramp

Beginners
1

Hi Guys,

I’m doing a project that involves visualising music according to a colour theory backed by a research on synesthesia.

Here I have to set different colours for different frequencies(high, mid, low) of the sound. I want that corresponding colour to be seen in a particle system(as texture).I have attached a reference flow chart of what I’m trying to achieve. (The corresponding ramp of the highest value out of high mid & low becomes the material for the particle system)

So far I have managed to divide the sound into high, mid & low frequency. I made the particle visual as well. The connecting part in the middle is where I’m struggling. Please share if you find some ideas to trigger different ramps according to different frequencies.

Thank you!

Hi Abey,
I needed a similar visualization a while back.

Get your color ramps into CHOP space and use a Lookup CHOP to grab color values with channel level data.
Attached is my crude test, which can no doubt be optimized, but it should be a good start.

I’m also interested in completely different / more efficient ways to do this.
Cheers,

Hey! Did you end up figuring this out? If so, could you share?

Hey did you find a good way to do this?

Hi, I would like to know more about this as well. We are building a sound dome with dome projection and a vibro-tactile floor. Would it be possible for example to connect the 7 shakra colors to the corresponding frequencies (coming from our sound program audio) and then have realtime visualisation?

Hi @jeffclaeys,

visualizing based on frequency and color is very much possible but you need to describe how that visualization would look and feel like.

Hi Markus,
Thank you for your reply. Is this something you do are doing? Or would I have to describe the details first and then look for a person that can make those visuals here on the forum? In this phase I am looking for a person to collaborate with and brainstorm together about the sound healing/vibro-acoustic/EEG/visuals … possibilities. In a second phase we would hire a person to work for our company. Thank you!

Hi @jeffclaeys

if you are looking for collaborators, please do post here in the job category. People will be happy to share their portfolios for you to pick the appropriate candidates and hire them to develop the visuals and system you are looking for.
But i see you already did :slight_smile:

cheers
Markus
