Are there any plans to expand Big Ears?
Yes. Sound support in Java is severely limited, but this should change sometime in 1997. When more advanced capabilities are available, Big Ears should get a (sonic) face lift. Further applets may be added to allow users to train their ears in different ways. Suggestions are welcome! The following enhancements are planned for the near future: • Interval Driller repeat button will play the exact same interval (it will start on the same note and have the same direction). • Keyboard will have a control to turn on or off the messages. (Turning them off speeds things up significantly, so that you can actually make something like music with it.
