• Looking for a way to "paint sound" / possibly creating the program

  Photosounder exists. https://photosounder.com/ The problem is, if you listen to the examples, they sound extremely robotic. Source: about 1 year ago

• Glitchy Textures

  Now that I had the opportunity to listen more closely - the second one reminds me of spectral editor tools such as https://photosounder.com/ . Specifically https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8MCAXhEsy4 - it's all about picking the right image. I think you can also do this with Harmor - load an image and resynthesize it. Since that gives you a lot of sinewaves, I'd say your theory is correct :). Source: over 1 year ago

• Spectrogram Resources

  Also worth noting that https://photosounder.com/ as a spectrogram editor has been around awhile. Source: over 1 year ago

• generating audio signals from an ascii waveform

  If you read an image file, then each pixel can be represented as a sample value, and then you're reading it line by line. However, another approach is additive synthesis - where each line of an image is turned into a harmonic, and the brightness of each pixel is its amplitude. Source: over 1 year ago

• how do i learn synthesis like actually?

  Start with subtractive, then work your way up to basic FM. For additive synthesis, people use image editors. Source: over 1 year ago
