Abstract:
A data sonification system for representing a plurality of channels of numerical information is described wherein the rate of the periodic modulation is itself used as a vehicle for carrying information of at least one component of the multidimensional numerical data. The data sonification system includes a plurality of audio waveform generator elements. Each of the audio waveform generator elements generates an associated audio frequency waveform. Each audio frequency waveform has an audio frequency parameter and at least one timbre modulation parameter having a settable value. The timbre modulation parameter affects the timbre of the audio waveform. The data sonification system includes a mapping element for associating aspects of multidimensional numerical data with the timbre modulation parameter of each audio frequency waveform. The mapping element sets the value of the timbre modulation parameter in response to multidimensional numerical data and/or periodic modulation.

Claim (Index 20):
A data sonification system for representing a plurality of channels of numerical information via a plurality of corresponding discernable variations of at least one of a plurality of audio-frequency waveforms, the at least one of the plurality of the audio-frequency waveforms being perceivable by a user as comprising a plurality of audio tones having at least one corresponding discernable timbre attribute, the data sonification system comprising:\n a plurality of audio-frequency waveform generators, each of the plurality of audio-frequency waveform generators generating an associated one of the plurality of the audio-frequency waveforms, wherein each of the associated ones of the plurality of the audio-frequency waveforms comprises an audio-frequency and at least one adjustable timbre control parameter, each of the at least one of the adjustable timbre control parameter having an associated adjustable value which can be discernibly varied within a timbre space occupied by the plurality of the audio-frequency waveforms; and a mapping element for mapping aspects of multidimensional numerical data with the at least one of the adjustable timbre control parameters of each of the associated ones of the plurality of the audio-frequency waveforms, wherein for the associated ones of the plurality of the audio-frequency waveforms the mapping element adjusts a value of the at least one of the adjustable timbre control parameters responsive to values of the multidimensional numerical data, wherein for the plurality of the audio-frequency waveforms the timbre of the associated ones of the audio-frequency waveform carries information responsive to values of underlying data for presentation to a user, wherein the associated ones of the plurality of the audio-frequency waveforms and their respective adjustable timbres are arranged to provide a plurality of data-modulated sound timbre classes within the timbre space, wherein the pitch of at least one of the audio-frequency waveforms is varied periodically, and wherein the rate of the periodic variation in pitch is itself used as a vehicle for carrying information of at least one component of the multidimensional numerical data.
