Adding Audio and Activities
Due to copyright, I can't distribute the studio
MP3 recording for playback with this version of the application. However, below
are instructions for replacing this temporary MP3 with the actual studio
recording.
To replace a temporary MP3 with a real one:
1) Obtain the actual studio recording MP3 (CD, digital download, etc.). To
purchase all audio used in this study through iTunes, click
here
2) Open the "audio" folder within the E006 application folder
Windows - this is in the "support" folder
Mac - right click the app and select "Show Package Contents" the open the "Contents/Support" folder
3) Rename the real audio file you downloaded (step 1) to the same name as the
temp MP3 in the "audio" folder (Note that you will have to convert other file
formats to MP3 or edit the "playback_reportoire.txt" as described below)
4) Copy the renamed MP3 to the "audio" folder replacing the temp MP3
The activity chord sheets are essentially just web pages. The chord patterns are
just image files and the text layout is an HTML file that can be modified with
any text editor. The file "playback_reportoire.txt" obtains the page name from
the webpages and loads a number of parameters into the software. This file can
also be modified with any text editor.
To add a song to the activities:
1) Open a webpage from the "pages" folder within the E006 application folder
Windows - this is in the "support" folder
Mac - right click the app and select "Show Package Contents" the open the "Contents/Support" folder
2) Rename the page filename and it's name within the <title> tags with an HTML
or text editor
2) Open the playback_reportoire.txt file within the E006 application folder and
change the properties of this table to the properties of the song you're adding
(key, tempo, timbre, etc.). Refer to the legend on the first line of this file
for specific information on what each value represents.
