VOSIS vs Composia

VOSIS is a synthesizer combining audification of greyscale pixel data with several image filters. It is a tool for image sonification, visual music composition, and experimental sound design. The audification of pixel luminance values creates shape-timbre relationships. Pixel scan rate is controlled in terms of note interval, octave, and scale to give varying pitch between image regions. The ADSR envelope allows one to play images as a non-linear sequence of pitches with varying wavetable/timbre. For more features including presets and unlimited recording see VOSIS Pro.

Create compositions and practice music theory with Composia. Export your creations to MIDI or PDF. Composia is a project I started in order to apply music theory concepts - and help me learn them. There are a number components that I've had to build: theory, database, sheet music generation, menu system, and synth. - Theory So far I have programmed in Keys, Solfege, Scales, Chords, Phrases, Figures, Compositions and Part Writing. Getting the part-writing to work was very challenging. It doesn't follow the rules 100% in order to allow the user some more freedom to create. - Database I had to create a way to store compositions in such a way to retain context and allow AI to use for generation in future versions. - Sheet Music Generation The most difficult part so far has been the sheet music generation & exporting with realtime pinch zoom. At first I thought it wouldn't be SO complicated but turns out allowing for 4 voices and all the variations of notes and rests is very tricky. There is still a lot to do but it's at least stable now. - Menu System Since I had to keep creating different menus to test various aspects I decided to go with a "neuron" menu system. This was also a giant pain to build but has made things easy once it was put into place. - Synth This is currently the weakest part of the project, but it produces a basic sound for the notes. I decided to use overtones to make a note sound louder. The louder the note the more overtones are attached.
