Today we had our first structured meeting of the semester. The following table summarizes the tasks we plan to complete this semester (higher priority tasks are listed first):
To Do Now |
To Do Later |
| 1. Restructure our code to use tracks 2. Define Style 3. Determine File format 4. Generate Random drum tracks 5. Save File 6. Load file 7. Integrate Random into gui 8. Display 1 track |
GUI additions Generate a good track Generate Multiple (instruments track) Fix GUI styles (aqua, win, x Custom Styles Export a Midi |
We estimate that that it will take one iteration to complete the style design and parser. We estimate that task 4 will also take one iteration. Finally, it should take one iteration to complete tasks 5 and 6, and one iteration to complete tasks 7 and 8.
Pat delegated Task 1 to Mike and Keith, and Task 2 to Jerome and Matt. Dave will be assisting both groups. Task 3 will be completed by Paul.
A key question that came up during our discussion pertained to Task 2, "Define Style". Dave approached the group with the question "What characteristics (input data/variables) defined a particular "style" of randomization?". The following list summarizes the brainstorm list made as a result of the discussion:
