Abstract:
1. A graphical programming interface system, comprising: a processor; a grid matrix defined by a plurality of coordinate axes, having selectable matrix positions identified by coordinate values along said axes, said grid matrix being displayed on a display device; a plurality of movable object icons, each representing an object having a predefined output sound; a plurality of object data files, each data object file associated with a particular matrix position on said grid matrix, such that different positions along a coordinate axis correspond to different characteristics of each object data file, said plurality of object data files being stored in a memory device, wherein a characteristic of each object data file is a rhythmic pattern of said object data file; and whereby placement of an object icon at any matrix position causes said processor to process the predefined output sound associated with said object icon in accordance with the object data file associated with the matrix position at which the object icon is placed such that the predefined sound associated with said object icon is processed according to the rhythmic pattern of said object data file, and output the processed sound to an output device.
