Where Light Moves, Sound Responds.

Android app that converts real-time light intensity into musical tones using the camera preview.

LumaSynth Logo

LumaSynth is a light-to-sound generation app that transforms camera-preview light contrast into melodic instrument tones. Generated sound snippets can be downloaded as WAV files for easy use.


Light Sensors

LumaSynth features four independent virtual sensors that extract luminance (lux) data from the camera feed and map real-time light variations into control voltage (CV) signals. These CV signals are routed to modulate internal sound engines, enabling expressive, light-responsive audio synthesis. Each sensor operates independently and provides a configurable control interface for instrument selection, voltage steps, and effects processing, enabling flexible and modular sound-design workflows.

Featured Project

Real-Time Light-Contrast Detection Sensors

DOT Sensor

A trigger-driven system mapping light intensity changes to gated amplitude envelopes for percussive sound synthesis.

LINE Sensor

A gate-driven system mapping light intensity to sustained waveforms for ambient and melodic synthesis.

STAR Sensor

A trigger-driven light-to-envelope system for tight, punchy percussive sounds.

RGB Sensor

A continuous sensor mapping RGB color values to evolving, multi-layered waveforms for expressive synthesis.

Synth Panel

Press and hold a sensor to open the Synth Panel. It allows you to assign instruments, voltage steps, and sound effects to the selected sensor.

Here the sound of light

Record

The Record button allows you to capture the rendered sound in WAV format and save it to the device.

Library

Access recorded WAV files from the Library, with play, download, share, and delete options.

Privacy

The camera is used only for live preview, and the microphone is used solely for audio recording.
