Environment: Siren
Instances of SampledSound represent digitally-sampled sound objects. Their "samples" are stored in the "data" instance variable inherited from Function. They can be read/written to/from files (using SoundFile objects), displayed (in SoundViews) and played (via SoundPorts).
The class SampledSound is concrete and assumes 16-bit linear encoding of samples; there are subclasses for floating-point and 8-bit Mu-law sample types. There are useful class methods for creating a number of standard sounds such as silence, impulses, swept sine waves, etc. Note that SampledSound uses the 'range' instance variable inherited from Function as its (integer) size.
Instance variables:
Other properties, such as the sound's (optional) file name, its sample rate, or the number of channels, are stored in the property list dictionary that is inherited by virtue of being an event subclass.
KNOWN BUGS:
Note that not all of this class is finished--there are methods that call non-existent user primitives and have no Smalltalk implementations (like the heavy DSP).
