THE SIMULATION TOOLS
The Description and Author fields allow descriptive
information that describes the scene for other users.
The Timeline format radio buttons affect the format of the
timeline at the top of the screen. When the SMPTE format is
selected, the user is allowed to choose from one of the defined
MTC frame rates. This option affects the display of the
timeline only and has no affect on sequencing rates.
The Internal timer will use the PC clock for timing during play
and record, and the user may select a Sample Rate in
milliseconds. The External timer will use one of the MIDI
devices for synchronisation.
The Insertion mode affects the way trajectories behave when
they overlap during manipulation operations. Don’t Overwrite
will clip the overlapping trajectory, leaving the original
untouched; Overwrite will always overwrite the overlapping
section of the original trajectory; while Prompt will allow the
user to choose whether to overwrite whenever an overlap
situation occurs.
There are three ways of inserting event information into a Sonic
Animator Scene. The first is to import a previously created
Locator script. Another is to record Huron messages directly
using a tools such as Locator or Tracker. The third is to directly
edit the ASCII Scene file in a text editor. These three methods
are described below.
