Unfortunately, there's not much in the way of info about how the lines on the film map to the synthesizer controls - I found it very odd to watch the film go by, and see busy sections with short discrete notes, sections with long interesting curves, and almost empty sections, but to hear no discernable difference in the audio.
- orillian 10y agoI think the disjoint between the audio and the visual is amplified due to the fact that the read head(s) are a couple inches to the left under the cover. So there is always a perceived delay to the audio from where you are looking. This magnifies if you for example look to the right edge of the view while it's playing a couple inches past the left, less so if you can project the last "bar" past the left edge in your mind. This device would be better I think if the read head could be moved directly to the left edge or even perhaps placed in the center of the view. But I have a feeling it needs to be in darkness to read best. Interesting idea none the less.
