Paint2Sound

Paint2Sound converts any loaded .jpg or .bmp image, or any picture you care to draw/paint with it, into a soundscape.

Each pixel row of the image represents a frequency band. The application synthesizes sine waves from each pixel row with an instantaneous amplitude determined by the brightness of each pixel in the pixel row, and then sums together all the sine waves.

User control is provided over various parameters such as sample rate, sound duration, the distribution of frequencies across the pixel rows and the overall level in the mix of each sine wave.
