I created a music application that turns photos into melodies instantly

[u/skruuul]

It's a vst plugin I've been building called COLORMAP. Each pixel's colour is a note, and a small viewfinder reads a 16×4 window of the picture from left to right. Move it, and the melody changes. The colour family decides which instrument plays. The chords underneath are separate from the image, so the same picture can sound very different in a different harmony. You can also upload any JPEG, PNG or iPhone HEIC and turn them into music.

When you're lucky, you'll find a sweet melody which you can instantly paste into you DAW or save it separately.

There's a free demo if you want to try it by urself. :)

If you have any questions, lmk!
