G-Force Response to tones ?

[Darrellr]

Is there any way with the stand alone version to get G-Force to respond to tones?

Wondering if this program could process the information so that a different tones A, A#, B, C, etc produce different responses, colors, etc.?

I play Bass in a band so a visual representation of the notes played would be fantastic!

I think you can . what you need to do is patch your amp into the line in on your soundcard and GF should react to what ever you play.

But you need to use the standalone version for this because it has the option for selecting the line in as the source .

only the platinum version comes with the standalone application.

the gold version only installs a plugin for your media player and it does not have a line in option .

So you could assign specific colors/patterns to notes.
Example:
A = Red
A# = Pink
B = Blue
C = Purple

Then, possibly assign patterns, etc.

And whether a note was two or three octaves apart even it could
read it as the same sound and process it similarly (A would still be Red higher up on the scale).

no thats way beyond this prog in the sense that you wish it.

although that is an intregueing idea! what if GF was capable of analyzing each note and then relate each note to a specific color. that would be wild!

heres a work around

by writing scripts for specific songs you could get almost the same effect.

once you know which color map/s you want to use for each part of your song i.e.. the colors you feel are appropriate for each passage, you then write a script telling GF when to play each color map/s and for how long.

I dont know how to write a script but thats how it would have to be done.

there are people here who can give a better explanation of how you can do this .

ask chkman or gorus for help

I would think there could/would be something similar for MIDI devices, being that each note can be mapped ?

Have you heard of anything similar for MIDI keyboards, etc. ?

Hi Darrellr and others.

I'm also interested in the same, although using g-force (Platinum) to respond to specific audio frequencies, not only the notes in the musical scale. I wrote a script to customize g-force's response to frequency changes occurring in a custom audio file. However, I have only syncronized wave-shapes, flow-fields, custom sprites, and particles so far. The next step I am going to attempt is to create custom color maps, then sync those to the frequency changes.

Although this all seems possible via scripting, it certainly is understandable to want an automatic feature to sync notes to colors for musicians, as Darrellr inquires about, so the color changes can occur in real time while playing or composing music.

This web page (Light-Sound-Harmonics) on my web site may be of interest for all of you wishing to explore the technical aspects of this, as well as for programmers interested in this. I present information on light (color) and sound correspondences; and how to convert frequencies in the audio octave to colors (specific wavelengths) in the visible light spectrum. The page has other info on planetary and bio-harmonic light sound and brain wave correspondences; as well as info for musicians - hence my interest correlating specif frequencies and G-force color maps.

Any more thoughts on approaches to accomplish this appreciated.
