Abstract

An interactive and programmable tone generator with scenarios is disclosed nd described as a training device. Sounds are recorded as they are heard in their actual environment. The recording then can be combined with a coded track that triggers a graphics demonstration previously prepared from notations taken during the recordings that describe the actual environment that corresponds to the respective sound. Also, selections can be taken from the recording that present a best example of a sound to be learned, looped for repetition, and then rerecorded digitally onto micro-floppy diskettes. When played-back the diskettes provide challenging interactive training for the novice and expert alike in a variety of available modes using both computer generated graphics and sounds reconverted from digital storage.
