getLineIn()

more pics to be added


today I'm trying to see if i can make a sound reactive piece using the program processing. after reading through the processing manual i have i found the way to go about it would be using getLineIn() code using minim sound. it works by using the built in microphone to the computer. the data is converted to the buffer size which i can change. so if i put the buffersize to 2000 the sound waves would be 0 - 2000 so i can draw an array from that and tell the computer to draw theoretically what i like using the buffersize to move twist distort the image 0 being no distortion and 2000 being max... pretty exciting :D  

this sketch to show the way the hand could move to the sound. Because sound is in waves it hopefully will be fluid rather and wont glitch.  i now have to work out a way of taking the drawing from paper into code as separate layers.
