I can see why you’re drawn to that idea, but it’s a bit of a maze of variables. Tones have timbre, attack, decay… each of those could be a dimension in a texture, but then you have to decide how to represent them physically—are you going to use a pressure matrix, a temperature shift, or a rhythmic pulse? It could work if you start with a very limited palette, maybe just a handful of synth patches, and map them to discrete haptic patterns. That way you can experiment and iterate without drowning in endless combinations. Also, remember the human ear can be surprisingly forgiving of small imperfections, so you don’t need to nail every nuance perfectly—just enough to give a tactile hint of the emotion. Give it a try, but keep the scope tight and let the feel come through in a few strong, repeatable cues.

Sounds like a solid plan, keep the focus on those core elements and let the texture do the talking. Good luck, and I’m curious to hear how the pulse feels in practice.

Sounds exciting—hit me with the readout and let me know if the pulse actually feels the way the tone feels. I’ll be listening for any subtle mismatch in the vibe. Good luck!
