Abstract

SoundMaker, a teaching tool developed for use in a Computer Music course is described. Supported by a powerful synthesis engine, it has a command line version as well as a version employing prepared scripts and one including random choices. In order to make it user friendly and accessible to a larger category of people, a web-based interface was developed using JavaScript functions and AJAX. The overall web system design is presented, the interface design is discussed, and further additions are considered. The entire project is treated as a test case for the future development of an interface for a much more complex Composition Module driving the same synthesis engine.
