Software makes sound from diseases, minerals and solar systems




Remember when Dr Ben discovered Radionics Machines - pseudoscience gizmos that looked like vintage syntns? Now Amos has found the software equivalent. Voice Sync is a $35 bundle of Radionics programs, which can do things like taking star patterns from Kitt Peak National Observatory and turning them into "ancient drum rhythms of different types". Or "Generates resonant three octave compound tones from a list of more than 3000 minerals", or "Talk and see animated concentric color rings following your voice, colors and number of rings are calculated from frequency and number of voice formants.".
