Kangas Sound Editor cell/box types
- Harmonic box - this is associated with a user-definable harmonic structure.
- Anti-harmonic box - this is associated with a user-definable inharmonic structure.
- Sound box - this contains one or more Harmonic/Anti-harmonic boxes, and
defines properties of the sound, such as duration, pitch graph and volume graph.
- Chord group - this contains one or more Sound boxes (or certain other box
types), and is used to capture a generalised concept of a chord (the Sounds
within it can be played at the same time, but don't have to be).
- Interval box - this is used within a chord group, and is used to specify a
frequency ratio and possibly time interval between chord group components
(e.g. Sound boxes).
- Repetition group - this is used whenever anything (e.g. a Chord group) needs
to be repeated, with possible modifications between repetitions, such as change
of pitch, volume or timing. These can also be used for reverb/echo effects.
- Sequence box - These boxes are placed first into the program's Edit View,
and contain other box types. The position of the box indicates when the Sequence
box will be played in the track, the size indicates the duration.
- Recorded sound box - These boxes are associated with an external .WAV file,
perhaps containing a recorded sound (these were designed to allow vocals to be
incorporated into a Kangas Sound Editor composition).
