today frank twitted a link: the sound of sorting algorithms

simply brillant.

so I’ve quickly put together a sample file to read the sound a of a 3D object.

you can slide or click the slidebar to seek some vertices, the panning is done according to the vertex’s X position, the frequency of the Sound is based on its Y & Z values.
there are funny sequences like the wheels or the seat.
I can’t remember where I found the forklift’s model :/

as I’m really not into sound or music, I’ve used Keith Peters’ Tone class pretty neat piece of code. some enhancement would include a better sound generation like the excellent as3fxr by my fellow elevator pitch sibling Thomas Vian or some effects.

anyway it is a proof of concept, I still can’t understand how to control the sound generation and anyway I suck at sound…
enjoy :)
