Phase:  Research & Development – Modeling

Version:  None

Summary of Activities:

Design of the main window’s modules and some further work on data storage were the focus of the past few days.  Modules will consist of sets of parameters that are applicable to the timescale.  For instance, macro modules need the capability to loop a recording/sample of a soundscape’s ambience (people talking, room tone, etc), whereas on a meso modules one will need to be in control of the relative frequency of the samples being played and the order (ascending, descending, random) of them.  Modules will also have the capability to store Actions.  Actions will be a means of saving/recalling information such as the sound’s spatial placement on the horizontal plane as well as its movement within it.

Notes:

In the next few days more work will be done on recalling playlist information as well as finalizing the basic framework of the environment. The storage of playlist file paths and their relative index numbers has been successful.
