TamTam:Interaction

Tools

TamTam will feature 2 different tools to interact with the GUI:

• Pointer (Selection mode)
• Pen (Drawing mode)

We are aiming for a simple interaction scheme where the following controls will be used:

• Left button click (double and triple clicks also possible)
• Right button click (double and triple clicks also possible)
• Delete key on the keyboard
• Top sliders on the keyboard

Selection mode (Pointer tool)

The Selection mode is the main mode in TamTam. It will allow the user to select Notes/Tracks/Pages/TunePages and interact with them. The GUI is currently sliced in these different parts:

• The Notes/Tracks Canvas
• The Tune layout
• The Page Bank
• The Track header (Instrument, Volume Slider, mute/solo)

These sections will describe how interaction is handled in each different section of the GUI.
