The Syn-Song mode
This mode combines visual and auditory effects
to represent the moment to moment syntax
changes, as well as the syntax 'musical rhythm'.
Make sure that your computer's speaker volume is
up. Move the 'Time control' towards 2/3 to the
right, click 'DVD Play/Stop' and Click on the
'Dynamic movies' tab and select the Syn-Song
mode. In this mode you can see the short-term
syntax transitions accompanied by clicks of
different pitch. The pitch is determined by the Y
axis location of each current syllable. After some
listening, try accelerating the movie by
manipulating the position of the 'speed' slider.
Next, try changing features observed on both X
and Y axis. As you can hear, the Syn-Song mode
generates a sort of 'synthetic song' out of the
syllable tables. Changing the rate of this 'song' allows your mind to integrate across time
scales that are way above your integration capacity of song heard in real-time, and the
combination of visual and auditory stimuli is also good. You can manipulate the 'memory'
of the observe trajectory by changing the interval duration.
Try also different combinations of features. Remember that the tones will change only
with the Y axis, so that each feature selected for Y axis will give a different 'music'.
