Illusions Primer There are currently four illusions to explore in the SoundGarden. Select one of the following for more information:
Scale Illusion – Do you hear a smooth or jagged melody? Pitch Streaming – What happens when the pattern speeds up? Octave Illusion – In which ear do you hear the high or low tone? Shepard's Tones – Why do these tones always go up in pitch? Meathead, you've got to set this up! Also, you saved a midi file with the volume changes on it. Add that as an extracurricular activity. Win95 There is free spectrum analyzer software for Windows95 called Spectrogram. It is available here. Spectrogram is easy to use and provides excellent visualizations of sound files. Note: it works only with .wav files, the Microsoft sound format. You may need your system administrator to set this up for you. Have them refer to this page for the proper links. Since this file is compressed you will need a shareware tool called Winzip95. If your WWW browser has been configured to use Winzip95, this processing will be performed automatically. Otherwise, the files must be loaded to your hard drive and processed outside of your WWW browser. Winzip95 is available here. MAC There is a low cost program called Sound Waves that is available with a money back guarantee. More information is available here.
