Sound alters image (Read 1091 times)

Sound alters image
Apr 12th, 2010, 6:38am  
Hello

I've been looking at various programs including Processing for a project.

I am looking to find a software package that allows the input from a microphone to alter the image currently displayed on screen.
So it should be able to analyze the volume of the sound on the microphone and display a different image depending on how loud the signal is.

Also it would be nice to find a program that could analyze the pitch of the sound and display a different image based on this.
For example:
0-440Hz = image 1
440Hz - 4000Hz = image 2
4000Hz - 16000Hz = image 3

Would processing be able to do this?
Any help much appreciated!
Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris,
             You could maybe look into  max/msp 5 or Pure Data for the audio side of things, then sending (networking) the outputted information to Processing for the visuals.

Processing can do that. Just have a look at the audio library.

Reference > Libraries

Minim, for instance, has what you need :
  • AudioInput: Mono and Stereo input monitoring
  • Provides an FFT class for doing spectrum analysis
