About

NGFDS is a data sonification application that enables users to transform their data into sound using a simple and intuitive interface. With a CSV file, you can easily import your own datasets and select specific samples as the application provides four adjustable parameters: pitch, duration (interval), amplifier, and panorama. By manipulating these parameters, you may create personalized and immersive auditory experiences, offering a engaging way to interact with information.

*NGFDS is an open-source software created by Nikolas Gomes and Joana Burd. If you use the application, we kindly request that you acknowledge and/or tag us as artists and developers. *

Here are some guidelines for avoiding errors or issues while using the software:

Installation issues

Windows:

You should install first SuperCollider version 3.13.0.

Make sure that NGFDSinstallationFolder is copied to C:\.

MacOS

Both NGFDS.app and SuperCollider.app must be inside /Applications

Table .CSV

The .csv file must uses comma (,) as index separation and not semicolon (;)

Make sure to use dot (.) as decimal number separation instead of comma (,)

Audio device configuration:

Check that both input and output audio device is at the same sample rate

On MacOS, go to Auido MIDI setup and adjust audio device settings.

On Windows it will depend on your audio device manufacturer.

Correct order of operations:

Before clicking “Load CSV” button, set up the appropriate “1st data at row:” accordingly to your .csv file.

On “Data Processing Window” make sure that the numbers range you are picking make sense to the parameter you are aiming in the “Parameter Mapping Window”.
