Help with idea
Nov 25th, 2008, 4:12pm
 
Hello there,

i'm a total newbie to processing, i had some classes about it in the University some time ago but apart from that I don't dominate the language or anything like that.

Meanwhile this year I wanted to do a project for the University because I'm in a Sound and Image course, using processing. The idea is kind of simple but i don't know how to program it or if it is possible, here goes:

With a camera connected to a computer, users take a photo and processing grabs the picture and reads its RGB info (getpixel() i think). After having the RGB info, processing would use that to trigger sounds in a VST over proMIDI.  

The main idea is this but I don't know how to code it, neither how could I use the RGB info of the picture to do more then trigger sounds in some kind of sampler VST.

Every help and sugestion of ideas would be great, as if someone would like to work with me in this, because I am a sound /music producer and my coding skills suck hard. The final work is going to be exhibited, so people who have interest in working with me would rock

Seems like a fairly simple project - you just need to decide exactly how the camera data should be converted to musical data.

I'd be up for working on this with/for you if you're interested. Shoot me a private message or email me at:
