it's time for yet another scientifically 100% accurate and conclusive internet test:

Originally posted by ivan2908I have to agree, it seems as though real synaesthesia actually involves differing visual perceptions for different pitches, timbres, etc. This is just a different one-to-one mapping between instruments and melody, etc. Being able to translate one modality into another does not bear any relation to synaesthesia,
