looking to try and replicate in part the functionality of his eyeborg<br>
using Pure Data. I have already built a simple patch to convert pixels<br>
to sound but now I want to expand on it. Here's my initial research:<br>

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

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