Product Description:
RGB MusicLab converts RGB value of an image to Chromatic scale music (MIDI or AIFF file). And RGB MusicLab MIDI file is converted to the original image. The program reads RGB value of pixels from the top left to the bottom right of an image. One pixel makes a harmony of three note of RGB value, and the length of note is decided by brightness of the pixel. RGB value 120 or 121 is the center C, and RGB value 122 or 123 is added a half steps of the scale that is C#. Please listen samples on the developer's info site. It is not an impression of paintings or photographs of a composer. It reads a score from an image data directly.
What's new in this version:
Added: Select Key. There are two "Select Key" 1) Change Mosaic > Scale: Adjust Half Step > Select Key and Custom Scale... 2) Change Mosaic > Scale: Replace to No Sounds > Select Key and Custom Scale... "Select Key" is not a change of key in musical terms. When you make a scale of image, you can select a start key of a scale. Default scale keys befeore version 23 were C. Now you can set any keys and can make any custom scales.

It's cool as heck, that's what it is. I just found my new favorite way to waste time.

Some reviewers miss the point of this kind of software. If you want to make canned music, certainly get a Casio. Mona Lisa may be a poor example. The idea is (or could be) to investigate the translational perceptions among different senses. There are many software applications that do this, some being used professionally. Look into MetaSynth, for example. RGBM is not anything close to MetaSynth, but it's creative and...free. The developer should be encouraged to continue this work and make it available to those who appreciate the effort.

Listen to "see" the picture - Version: 05, 11/12/2007 04:37PM PST

I found this program quite fun and different. What I did was to take some pictures with a high contrast between the subject and background, close my eyes, and listen to the resulting "music." I found that in my mind's eye I could actually "see" the picture. I have yet to combine any of the midis with GarageBand or anything else.
I wonder if a program as this could also be used to catch a glimpse of what people with synaesthesia experience. Just wiki synaesthesia for more info.
All-in-all a wonderful experience! I'd like to chain some scenes together, do a little melodic tweaking with GB or other, maybe add some ambient soundscapes and "see" if I can create my own relaxation tracks. So far most of the "music" I've made would be great for subtle and faint background ambient sounds found in many commercial relaxation CDs. Think windchimes and such.
A word to the wise: turn your volume down a bit when you first try the program.
