but there are so many tempting features (a good thing) it would be hard to stop there. I could see however JUST using it for translating images into sound, which would be very quick by itself. Overall, it was a fun app, unfortunately, my workflow for potential usage takes a little more time than I can dedicate to a new computer function.

I think they called this image-of-sound a spectrograph (?).įor the Non-commercial license at $60, I could see a non-pro customer base (which could make use of improved documentation). The program seems to do two principle things convert images into sound (and also to sound-image files), and convert sound files (mp3, etc.) into image files that are then editable. The documentation has numerous typos and could elaborate on image formats for importation, and there are other items that could certainly use some clarification (which I did figure out eventually). cr2 file, though, I had to convert it to jpeg first. I found it very fun running images into it actually. It takes some time to do some of the advanced stuff (instrument isolation in photoshop.). I tried a bunch of what was showed on the demo videos. The program crashed on me twice within the space of an hour, doing different things.
I couldn't get the knobs to change appearance, the setting seemed to be ignored, even on relaunch. The UI is nice, but could use some work (i.e.

Should be noted, this app Requires Photoshop, OR other advanced image editor (?) for Full functionality (instrument isolation, etc.).
Layer system similar to Photoshop's, with layer groups and various layer blending modes, including exclusive layer convolution modes.Dedicated graphical editing tools best suited for editing or creating sounds, such as various sprays to enhance, suppress, erase or create features, including a harmonics modifier to apply all modifications to a frequency and its harmonics at once.Real-time live synthesis, allowing real-time time-stretching or to hear changes as they are made to the images.Exclusive spectrogram analysis algorithm that natively operates on a logarithmic scale and can vary time/frequency resolution depending on frequency for a better clarity and a better resynthesis.Pro-tip: Turn on the Live Synthesis in the Options menu for instantaneous results!.Noise-based synthesis for synthesising original sounds from nothing or resynthesising wildly transformed sounds in a way that results in a continuous and smooth spectrum.Lossless processing of sounds based on images, so that real sounds can be transformed by transforming their image.This can be used for such tasks as instrument/vocals removal/isolation, applying various original or classical sound effects, sound design, denoising, operations between sounds such as removing a sound from another. Photosounder allows you to open sounds and images, process them graphically and hear the results.
It turns sounds into images and images into sounds, thus allowing for powerful sound processing to be done in an image editor. Photosounder is a spectrogram editor and synthesizer.
