FileMix - Audio File Player/Mixer/Processor Utilities for Children.

The four options that comprise the FileMix utility activity are: FileMix4, FileMix4ASC, FileMix and FileMixASC. FileMix4 and FileMix4ASC require 4 stereo soundfiles, while FileMix and FileMixASC can handle 1-4 mono or stereo soundfiles. The files can be of any sample rate and a variety of uncompressed formats including WAV and AIFF; also Ogg/Vorbis, but not MP3.

FileMix4 and FileMix require MIDI controllers, while FileMix4ASC and FileMixASC use ASCII keyboard.

English text only; for older children.

Children are encouraged to create their own sound files (as with the Record activity), and make original "nature soundscapes." Four default sound files are included.
