| Main Project |
The main project is the top-level container for all other
objects. The main project may directly contain Audio Files, Note
Maps, Spectral Files, and Frequency Maps, or these may be organized with
sub-projects.
The Main Project can be renamed from the System Project configuration
dialog, but not directly from the Project Tree.
The main project is the only object that cannot be deleted. |
|
| Project |
Projects are containers for organizing Audio Files, Note
Maps, and Spectral Files.
Double-clicking the project causes the Project Tree to expand and
display all objects contained within the project.
Objects can be moved between projects by dragging and dropping their
respective icons.
The Project context menu includes commands for renaming or deleting
the project, and for adding new Audio Files, or for generating Note Maps
for each of the included Audio Files.
Note that deleting a project will cause all objects contained
within the project to be deleted also. The original source
audio (.wav) files will not be deleted. |
|
| Audio File |
Audio File objects represent source audio
(.wav) files.
Double-clicking (or selecting "Open" from the context menu)
opens a new Audio
Window.
The Audio File context menu includes commands for renaming the
object, and for generating a new Note Map or Spectral File from the
source audio data.
Note that deleting an Audio File object will not delete the
associated source audio (.wav) file. |
|
| Note Map |
Note Maps represent compact, high-resolution view of all
of the "note" events occurring within an audio file.
Double-clicking (or selecting "Open" from the context menu)
opens a new Notemap Window. When
a Note Map icon is dragged onto an open Audio Window, the associated note
bitmap will be integrated into the Audio Window for visualization of
note events during audio playback. The Note Map context menu includes
commands for renaming or deleting the Note Map. |
|
|
Spectral File
|
Spectral Files contain complete frequency
spectra calculated over the duration of the associated audio source.
Spectral File objects can be extremely large, and it is
recommended that they be used sparingly. Spectral files are
required in order to create Frequency Maps, but may be discarded after
map generation is completed.
Double-clicking on a Spectral File icon (or selecting
"Open" from the context menu) opens a new Spectrum
Window.
The Spectral File context menu includes commands for generating a new
Frequency Map, and for renaming or deleting the Spectral File. |
|
|
Frequency Map
|
Frequency Maps represent a high-resolution image of all
the time-dependent frequency signals occurring in an audio file.
When a Frequency Map icon is dragged onto an open Audio Window, its
bitmap will be integrated into the Audio Window for visualization of
frequency events during audio playback. Double-clicking the icon
will have the same effect if the Audio Window is open; otherwise, the
bitmap opens within its own map
window. |

|
Properties
|
The context-menu of all audio objects
includes a "properties" command, which will display properties
unique to each type of object.
