Amplitude to color

For this assignment I used a simple pfft~ patch that used cartopol~ to return double values that represent the amplitude of the signal, scaled by an input. Then, I made a matrix, and a counter to run through each cell in the matrix and map the amplitude from the pfft~ to the value at that coordinate. I then used the built in jit.xfade object to mix the created matrix with a given movie. Here’s an example of Jupiter from Holst’s The Planets overlaid on a clip of Jupiter the actual  planet.

Here’s the main patch:

and here’s the simple pfft~
