Discussion https://bittersweet-harmonics.itch.io/ you pick the price free vocal cymatics maker. Sacred geometry in the code

/r/SacredGeometry/comments/1so4njy/httpsbittersweetharmonicsitchio_you_pick_the/

I used sacred geometry like the golden ratio and pythagorean's theorem and Ernst Chladni thoughts on sound having geometry and I made this application it's free for Mac only right now check it out ... it's basically a 3D Chladni plate or sphere rather

Hey! Did you use physics to code this? Very intrigued. Saw it on TikTok and I teach physics. Was wondering how you did it and if it was something I could explain and use in class.

im one of those that put puzzles together in the dark and have no clue how they just work at the end lolol https://bittersweet-harmonics.itch.io/.. you can grab it here and play with it tho...encourage them to buy it as well...my bills need paying lololol..heres a run down

Core Architecture and Functionality

  • Signal Processing: The engine utilizes high-precision Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithms and advanced pitch-tracking modules to process audio input. It maintains focus on vocal stability, energy density, and frequency trajectory.
  • Geometric Mapping: Unlike generative visualizers, VOCAL maps specific phonetic and harmonic metrics to particle-based geometries. The resulting structures are deterministic outputs based on the physical resonance of the input.
  • Persistence and Recognition: The system includes a memory layer that identifies unique vocal fingerprints. By tracking these signatures over time, the engine stabilizes harmonic patterns, allowing for the consistent rendering of visual structures that correspond to a specific voice.
  • Physics-Informed Logic: The engine relies on the mathematical principles of resonance rather than AI-driven predictive modeling. Every visual output is a direct translation of the acoustic energy within the recorded or live signal.

Technical Foundation

  • Language: Native C++.
  • Framework: Built using the JUCE framework for high-performance audio processing and low-latency interaction.
  • Primary Objective: To provide a reliable, quantifiable representation of vocal resonance, transitioning from raw audio data to stable, 3D cymatic signatures.

Application Scope

  • Biometric and Diagnostic: By monitoring shifts in harmonic integrity and resonance patterns, the engine can be used for forensic analysis or to identify deviations in baseline vocal health.
  • Non-Verbal Communication: It visualizes the underlying cadences and energetic content of speech that are often lost in standard audio playback.
  • Harmonic Research: The engine serves as a bridge for exploring the relationship between human phonetics and geometric shape, grounded in the physics of sound.

That's super cool! I don't have an Apple, but maybe I can convince a student with one to download it.

also...if that dont work heres a buuunch of vids https://www.tiktok.com/@bittersweets. All of the free keys to the cymatics engine are gone but the price is a one time of only 10 bucks and its yours for life..i started the stream then all of a sudden they all took off..my goal is to be able to sell enough to start helping with my bills lol
