About Color Sounds: Generative music APK
Table Of Contents
Description
Color Sounds is an experimental generative music app that translates color into sound. There are two main modes: manual mode and camera mode.The camera mode picks up colors from the environment to generate sound.
The manual mode is a step sequencer, similar to grid sequencers like the Tenori-on or Monome but based on colors.
Both modes can be recorded, the camera mode to FLV video, and the songs you create in manual mode to FLV video or WAV audio. The video files can be edited or converted afterwards using an app like Video Toolbox editor.
The sounds are somewhat 8-bit sounding (sine wave, triangle wave, square wave) and useful to create chiptune style musik, music for games, etc. If you're an amateur game creator or musician you may want to try it to produce simple music for your game or to stir inspiration for a future song.
This app will likely be interesting to musicians, digital artists, makers, and many sorts of computer/music/art nerds.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
