Summary<br />

THE SIMULATION TOOLS<br />

An external MIDI Time Code generating device such as the<br />

Opcode Studio 64XTC may be connected to the <strong>Huron</strong> through<br />

the MIDI port on the <strong>Huron</strong>’s sound card. The Opcode device<br />

is driven by a PC or Macintosh through a serial cable.<br />

• Select External in the Scene Properties dialog.<br />

When playing using an external timer, the timer message<br />

updates are provided by the external device rather than the PC<br />

clock. The same interpolation and non-interpolation behaviour<br />

occurs.<br />

Similarly, when recording under an external timer, the timer<br />

message is used to set the current time and messages that arrive<br />

are assigned the most recent time.<br />

To zoom in and out on a scene, use the buttons on the Zoom<br />

Toolbar. Alternatively, select Zoom In or Zoom Out from the<br />

View menu. Zooming in or out will adjust the view by a factor<br />

of 2 in either direction and zooming in will centre the new view<br />

on the middle of the old view.<br />

The timeline resides at the top of the scene window and can be<br />

moved to the bottom of the window by right-clicking on it and<br />

selecting either Dock->Top or Dock->Bottom.<br />

Clicking on the timeline will also move the position of the<br />

current time marker.<br />

Sonic Animator does not use DSP resources.<br />

• Sonic Animator is a real-time sound source location<br />

sequencer for the <strong>Huron</strong>. In this manner, it replaces some of<br />

the functionality of Locator.<br />

• The familiar sequencer interface allows trajectories of sound<br />

sources to be manipulated with ease.<br />

• Sonic Animator will synchronise to MIDI Time Code for<br />

full integration with existing sound equipment.<br />
