Re: [cnfractal_music] Converting the Mandelbrot set into sound
Hey All,
There at least two programs written for the Atari ST and it generated
some cool midi note on/midi note off kind of music output based on fractal
goemetry. Tons of paramters to massage to get different kinds of music m9idi
streams of notes. But hey, who still uses their Atari?

I think KeyKit may do something like this, and there are I think a number of others that do some kind of image to sound transformation. Can't say they use the...

True, but as I recall, KeyKit does have the ability to scan charactoristics of images in a particular format and produce interesting "sound" in MIDI format,...
