With the following steps, you'll listen to and record rhythms you compose using percussion. Launch the following application, which has been written in the programming style that we'll be using.

• loop app

The source for the program is in a file called "loop.cpp" (the three-letter extension indicates that it's a file containing program code in the C++ language). The next link will load the source file into this browser, from which you can make your own copy. After you see it, execute a "save as" command and give a name in your own directory where you'll be doing your programming work. Suggestion: think of maintaining two directories -- one for developing work, like on our lab machine --

lab machine

• user
• cc
• 14q
• lab1
• loop.cpp

-- and one for submitting work by placing it under your home page folder --

web server (leland or ccrma account)

• cc's web folder
• 14q
• lab1
• loop.txt    -- these are the finished assignments --
• loop.cpp   

I will make links from the course web site to these explicit locations, so the names need to agree.

Take a look now at loop.cpp and go through the steps to make copies both in your working directory and in the web folder.
