+PixelPlayer is an interactive environment for exploring image to sound mapping.
 In the implementation below, the brightest pixel and darkest pixel in a video feed are mapped to MIDI note pitch (vertical axis) and stereo placement (horizontal axis). The brightest pixel is indicated with a green circle, the darkest with a red circle. New notes are triggered whenever there is a state change. The sound thus reflects the amount of activity in the frame as well as the location of activity.

 PixelPlayer uses [[http://www.smallbutdigital.com/themidibus.php|The MidiBus]] library, which works on Windows and (we hear) on OS X, but not on Linux.
-Pitch mapping is specified in the ''PITCH_TABLE'' array. The mapping below reflects a C-major scale; feel free to try different mappings.
+Pitch mapping is specified in the ''PITCH_TABLE'' array. The mapping below reflects a C-major scale; feel free to try different mappings. You will probably have to tweak ''CAM_WIDTH'', ''CAM_HEIGHT'', ''CAM_FPS'', and the output MIDI device (currently hardcoded as ''"Microsoft MIDI Mapper"'') to reflect resources that are available on your machine.
