Take a picture to hear it. Each column is read left to right and sung back as a stack of sine waves.
Point the camera and shoot. instra hue reads the photo left to right and plays it spectrally — but here the pitch follows the light itself: the lighter a colour, the higher its note; the darker, the lower. Each column rings the tones of whatever brightnesses live inside it, all snapped to a musical scale, so a bright sky sings high while shadow hums low. Flip the switch to Vid to record a 10-second clip instead — it loops while the playhead sweeps it live, so the chord moves as the picture does. Tap ◐ to invert the mapping — let the dark ring high and the light low. Press the picture and slide: drag up–down to push the contrast, spreading the notes wider apart; left–right shifts the saturation. The Sens dial sharpens or softens which brightnesses sound. The note slider on the right transposes every note up or down together — drag it up for a higher root, down for a lower one, up to two octaves either way (centre = E2). The Focus dial tilts the spectrum toward the lows or the highs. Voices sets how many tones sound at once, dropping the chord down to a single note, and Balance weights which survive toward the bass or the highs. The Cutoff dial silences the highest notes first, sweeping down the scale like a low-pass on the note triggers — turn it down to cut deeper, up to open the top back. The Zoom dial magnifies the picture around its centre — the picture itself stays static. Tap ◑ to wash the picture in darkness — pulling every note downward. The Lines dial rules vertical bars across the frame for rhythm, Space slides them closer or further apart, and the Kick dial snaps them to a classic kick-drum groove (cycle through six). Tap crop then drag a box to play just part of the frame, then drag inside the box to slide the selection or drag outside to sculpt the contrast. Pick a scale, set it to loop or one shot.
