Furthermore, the analysis of data-mapping methods in conjunction with the diatonic scale opens up a fruitful field for exploring teaching tools that allow sound to be processed in terms of musical composition. The use of MIDI for sound processing or the highlighting of musical motifs—which can serve as a starting point for creating musical compositions—perfectly extends adaptive sonification. In fact, the graphical representation of data (graphical display) can be creatively transformed into sound by treating the display as a two-dimensional scheme, or even a photograph as a three-dimensional image. The result is referred to as “schematic sonification”.
