Image to MIDI is a small program made in Max that allows users to input an image and use that image to create and play MIDI notes. The program has a few different options for ways to control pitch, velocity, and duration of notes based on different types of data in each pixel of the image.

I wanted to create a program that would take some type of file input and create music from it. I eventually decided that using images as inputs would create some interesting sounds. With almost any image, the settings I have created can allow the user to make decent sounding music from most images.

Download (contains Windows and Mac versions of the application, the original Max patch, a Max for Live patch, and the description video)

A video of the application in use: File:Image to MIDI (low quality).mp4

This video is low quality due to the file size limit for the wiki, but the download contains a high quality version of the video with captions that briefly explain parts of the project.
