FileMixAuto

FileMixAuto - Automated Audio File Looper/Mixer/Processor for Children.

While FileMix emphasizes performance interactivity, creativity in FileMixAuto is expressed through the making of soundfiles and in selecting various presets that ensure a desired mood and texture.

FileMixAuto can handle 1-4 mono and/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. The Ogg/Vorbis format is only possible when the Sugar version is later than 0.84, which excludes the original XO-1 and SoaS Strawberry. The XO-1.5 works fine with Ogg, as does the XO-1 when upgraded to Sugar 0.84.

English text only; for older children.

Children are encouraged to create their own soundfiles, especially to make their own nature soundscapes. (This is the primary intent behind this activity. The four short "nature" files included here are abbreviated versions of those from the author's Dusk at St. Francis Springs [www.arthunkins.com], and are identical to those in FileMix.)
