==== TODO list for SBaGen
|
|
|
|
=== Current
|
|
|
|
Merge in ARTS patch
|
|
|
|
An SBG file containing "-i pink/40 100+1.5/20 200-4/36 400+8/2" does
|
|
not give the expected result, although adding -D before that DOES.
|
|
It seems that all -i options in SBG files are broken.
|
|
|
|
Write minimal GUI for SBaGen: (use fltk?)
|
|
|
|
- Maybe menus for file load/open/save/save as/etc
|
|
- Maybe "Select" tab allows file selection
|
|
- "Editor" tab shows file contents, allows editing
|
|
- "Test" tab shows -D output
|
|
- "Play" tab plays file
|
|
- "Write WAV" tab writes WAV to disc
|
|
|
|
Add AIFF output as well as WAV.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=== Time permitting / version 2 rewrite / suggestions
|
|
|
|
Add support for triggering WAV/MP3 samples at certain points in the
|
|
sequence: for example, "You have now entered Theta at 7Hz", or
|
|
whatever.
|
|
|
|
Add 'mixspin:' and 'mixbeat:' options. The first would apply the spin
|
|
effect to the mix stream. The second would use a Hilbert transform and
|
|
a 'twist' of the resulting complex waveform to shift the L+R channels
|
|
up and down in frequency to create a binaural beat out of any
|
|
recording. The idea seems sound, it just needs implementing and
|
|
testing.
|
|
|
|
Give Mac users desktop access to the application, using double-click
|
|
to run an SBG file, for example.
|
|
|
|
Possibly add JACK support (jackit.sf.net); this is yet another good
|
|
reason to rewrite the core code to fit a callback model. This would
|
|
lead onto easier CoreAudio and Windows audio support too.
|
|
|
|
Allow several channels that act independently, i.e. with independent
|
|
slides going on through other activity on other channels.
|
|
|
|
Create a sbagenlib to do all the play-time sequencing and audio
|
|
generation, permitting several different front ends to be created.
|
|
|
|
Make an 'easy' SDL-based clickable GUI interface for Windows users,
|
|
separate from the more powerful command-line interface.
|
|
Alternatively, rewrite completely for SDL, with a different file
|
|
format, and automatic conversion of old SBG files.
|
|
|
|
More:
|
|
|
|
Maybe allow keyboard control to fade between different sequences in
|
|
real-time. Actually this was suggested connected with rhybag. This
|
|
might be achieved by a rewrite using SDL for the front-end and audio
|
|
output code, effectively creating a completely new app.
|
|
|
|
Maybe add a screen that flashes in sync with the beats, as a cheap
|
|
light-glasses replacement.
|
|
|
|
Maybe add a feature to record timing of user events during a session
|
|
indicated by user clicks or keypresses.
|
|
|
|
Maybe add a feature to add modulation of the volume level in addition
|
|
to the beating.
|
|
|
|
Add light glasses control with in the MagicJim / AudioStrobe method,
|
|
i.e. adding high-frequency tones to trigger the flashes.
|
|
|
|
Suggestion: Add LPT1 light glasses control. The coding would be
|
|
significantly different between Linux and Windows. There are also
|
|
synchronisation issues, with the timing different for each soundcard.
|
|
|
|
Suggestion: "sinusoidal, gaussian or user defined sweep in a frequency
|
|
range" (!?)
|
|
|
|
Suggestion: Add coloured noise to SBaGen as mentioned on the mailing
|
|
list.
|
|
|
|
Add more organic feel to tones etc, by introducing very low-frequency
|
|
variations in carrier frequency, or beat frequency, or whatever.
