Main task
This coursework is designed to get you started with planning the software you are tasked to develop as part of Coursework 2. Using the individual blog space provided on GCU Learn, write a post that outlines your plans for the Sound Design Tool.
The post should document your initial design ideas for:
Main user interface – this can be a screenshot of a mock up made in Max using the UI objects in presentation view, or drawn using MS Word.
Patch structure – showing levels of encapsulation and how you might organise your patches for the different modes of operation.
Algorithms you intend to use for each of the modes. You could present some ideas you have developed, and/or reference and discuss some literature you have found in research.
Development timeline –present a Gantt chart here with timeline vs tasks. The idea is to set yourself some targets / milestones. You could create this is MS Excel.
The post should be a maximum of 1000 words in length.
Marks will be awarded for an engaging and well thought out post, and for clarity in communicating your ideas.
