Technical information

Sonification

• Export uncompressed -> format raw -> unsigned 8 bit

• The converter reads the file from top to bottom, and generates the bitmap from top to bottom.
• Length of the audio defines the amount of data to fill an image.
• The higher the resolution, the more data you need.
• Too little data: image becomes black after a certain point.
• Too much data, a new image file is written.
• Depth controls the amount of raw audio data needed per pixel.
• The shape of the wave influences the generated pattern.
• The frequency controls the amount of times that the pattern repeats.
