Greetings Ant!

Perhaps try looking at  [pix_mean_color] object? Attached is a patch that I've cleaned up- it just extracts RGA values from loaded video then unpacks them for 3 [osc~] objects-crude but could be starting point I hope

...best!

I've been studying the work of Neil Harbisson for awhile and I'm
looking to try and replicate in part the functionality of his eyeborg
using Pure Data. I have already built a simple patch to convert pixels
to sound but now I want to expand on it. Here's my initial research:

Colours don't directly relate to sound and so Harbisson and others
must use a scale to assign colours to sounds. Some initial research
brought these up:

http://www.flutopedia.com/sound_color.htm

Can anyone think of a way to translate this into pd? In the end I
would like to be able to display a block of colour on screen and have
that generate a specific note.

Any help is appreciated.

Antonio
