What is "metasynth"

MetaSynth is an application for the Macintosh operating system that allows the creation of sound from images. It was most notably used on The Matrix (for bullet-speed special effects), but has also appeared in the electronic artists Aphex Twin's song "ΔM⁻¹ = −αΣD[n][ΣF[n − 1] + Fext[n⁻¹]]," a B-side on the " Windowlicker" single.
