Abstract
A popular topic in sonification research is the development of a complete, user-friendly tool for sonification creation. A study of existing attempts at such tools highlights what seems to be the main challenge of this endeavor: exhaustiveness with regards to the great diversity of approaches for auditory display of information. Most tools are designed to allow for selecting among a few typical modalities, but could not really be used to create any kind of sonification. In order to tackle this issue, we proposed a theoretical model of the sonification process, which is intended to take all of its properties as a data observation technique into account. The goal for this model is to be translated into a user interface and programming approach as part of a sonification toolkit. In the present paper, we report our work in creating a proof of concept of such a toolkit using the ossia musical sequencing environment, chosen for its proximity to our objectives in terms of user interaction and library of functionalities. This prototype was tested to recreate two of our previous data sonification works. Most of the specificities of these case studies could be recreated properly, though some of the planned features, notably for grain synthesis, are currently missing from the ossia environment. For our future works, we will consider that the current state of this proof of concept is sufficient to start studying the user experience of sonification designers interacting with the toolkit.
