Pollisynth 1.61

Mission: To more fully understand the colors that surround us, it is imperative to engage an additional sense.

A Pollisynth captures a picture of an object and then translates it into a unique sound wave. This device serves as a gateway to a new sensory experience, enriching the way we perceive our environment.

The creative process with a Pollisynth unfolds uniquely, where individuals, like two friends capturing the same image or a group of children photographing slushies, can collaborate to compose harmonized songs from the captured sound waves.

By utilizing Pollisynth with Facebook integration, users can share their sound-wave creations as Presets on their timelines. These Presets allow friends to experience and experiment with the sounds using their own Pollisynth devices, fostering a community-driven approach to exploring visual-to-audio translation.

In scenarios where Facebook is unsuitable, sharing images via SMS or Email from personal photo libraries that yield compelling sounds is also supported. The uniqueness of the generated sounds, directly tied to the inputted images, ensures consistency upon rescanning, establishing the photo library as a reliable offline sound bank.

Initiated by Thomas Ruby in 1987 and continued by his son Jamie after his passing in 2006, Pollisynth is built on the principles of Oneness, Honor, and Good Times – embodying a legacy of innovation and dedication to sensory exploration.
