Using WAV music files to feed a Texture Oscillator?!

This morning I was making a shader animation by using a triangle oscillator to lerp between two noise textures. Then I had an idea... I used to sound design synthesizers, and the math used for a synthesizer's oscillators is literally the same as the math used for shading oscillators. Would it be possible to port an established audio synthesizer (e.g., Native Instrument's Massive) into a GPU shader?

Because that would be mindbogglingly fun to play with. You could literally play your shader like a musical instrument using a MIDI keyboard.

Just an idea. Maybe this has already been done, but I've never seen it.

I'm thinking that maybe someone could engineer a script in c# that could read the output from a synthesizer, convert the data into a bunch of floats and whatnot, organize and process those floats, then send the processed values to the shader oscillators. Sounds like a lot of work, but I'm sure it's worth it.

 

At start, see post #2 from topic:

waveform.cs - gets audio data from WAV file by method
AudioListener.GetOutputData (), then pass array data into shader.

waveform.shader - generates simple visualisation (chart), based on current data retrieved from array

 

This is just what I am needing! Thank you so much!
