Sonification Methods

Choose how each data point is expressed in sound. For every method, higher values produce a stronger corresponding cue.

1. Frequency (Pitch Variation)

Pitch varies with the value. Higher values produce higher pitches.

const sonifier = new Sonifier();
const result = await sonifier.sonify(data, 'frequency', { autoPlay: true });

2. Volume (Volume Variation)

Volume varies with the value. Higher values produce louder sounds.

const sonifier = new Sonifier();
const result = await sonifier.sonify(data, 'volume', { autoPlay: true });

3. Rhythm (Rhythm Variation)

Rhythm varies with the value. Higher values produce faster rhythms.

const sonifier = new Sonifier();
const result = await sonifier.sonify(data, 'rhythm', { autoPlay: true });

4. Melody (Melody Variation)

Values are mapped onto a musical scale (C, D, E, F, G, A, B) to form a melody.

const sonifier = new Sonifier();
const result = await sonifier.sonify(data, 'melody', { autoPlay: true });
