Then just add some standard chorus+reverb processing, possibly a bit of distortion.
There are other programs that do this kind of thing (Photosounder, MetaSynth), oddly not so much free software.
As a side note, it's kind of odd that the coloring in this gui lays out the light spectrum with the low frequencies in violet and the high frequencies in red.
- erikschoster 12y ago> oddly not so much free software The Analysis & Resynthesis Sound Spectrograph is the closest thing I can think of: http://arss.sourceforge.net http://arss.sourceforge.net It hasn't been updated in a long time but it's still very useful! Michael Klingbeil's SPEAR is also open source, but a slightly different beast - focused on manipulation of analysis data as a set of partials - it's still insanely useful: http://www.klingbeil.com/spear/ http://www.klingbeil.com/spear/ Chris Penrose's excellent Hyperupic was the first tool of this kind I remember encountering, inspired by Xenakis' UPIC system: http://music.columbia.edu/cmc/MusicAndComputers/chapter5/05_07.php http://music.columbia.edu/cmc/MusicAndComputers/chapter5/05_... It died with OS9 to the best of my knowledge. EDIT: Just to say that Alexander Zolotov's work is blowing me away. I didn't realize he was behind SunVox until now, but the portfolio of his projects in this thread is really inspiring.
