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.
