What if a video frame could be a musical instrument?
In this TouchDesigner tutorial, you'll learn how to turn still images and moving video into playable sound using wavetable sonification, a technique at the crossroads of image sonification, raster scanning, and graphic sound synthesis.
You'll build a lookup-table synth where pixel data becomes timbre, and a phase ramp (LFO) scrolls through the waveform in real time.
No MIDI notes, no traditional score, just pixels → wavetable → audio.
What you'll learn:
• Convert TOP textures to CHOP wavetables (TOP to CHOP)
• Drive a Lookup CHOP with a clean phase index
• Play images and video as evolving timbres
• Practical tips for clean, musical results
