I gotta get into this. How the F*** did they do that?
It's got to do with spectral information, it's essentially a feature of additive synthesis.
You know when you see a spectrogram on an analyzer? not the standard analyzer, but the ones that look like infrared heat vision? Harmor (and I guess Serum) can take a photo and treat it like it's spectral information. Basically X axis is time, y axis is frequency content going low to high, and brightness is the amplitude at a given XY point.
Knowing that might help you predict what kind of sound is gonna come out. Theoretically, if you load like a landscape photo, where the ground is dark and the sky is bright, you'd have a really bright sound. If you flipped that photo upside down and loaded it into Serum, it should be a bassy sound. At least that's if it works like Image Line's Harmor. I still haven't tried it.
