Figure 4.1 - Playlist tab

The Playlist tab is composed of two panels: the Sets panel and the

Playlist panel. A set is a collection of listeners within or across models, and is either automatically generated (the ALL set) or user defined (custom sets). The playlist displays the list of items in the selected set, along with item properties used during playback.

Item selection

The first column in the playlist panel contains item selection boxes.

Items will not be loaded and played unless they are selected, which is indicated by an X appearing in the selection box. There are three ways to select items:

• Double-click on the listener row to load it into the queue.

• Place an “X” in the box next to the listener to load it into the queue.

• Place an “X” in the box in the column header to load all listeners into the queue at once:

If an audio track is playing in the Bose Media Player, you are able to listen as soon as a listener is loaded.

The second column is used to indicate which item is currently playing, if any.

Listener state

The model name and listener position label for each playlist item are displayed in the next two columns. Listeners appear in light gray if the surfaces they are on have been unchecked in the

Simulation tab. Listeners appear in italics if their data has not been recalculated since a change has been made to the model.

Figure 4.4 - Listeners state is represented by font

To make sure that the Listener data gets calculated when the engine is turned on, the Listeners box must be checked on the

Simulation tab, and the Surface types that contain those Listeners have also been checked.

Listener attributes

The following column holds the Max System SPL, which is the highest level the installed sound system can produce at the listening location. This value is predicted by the application, and cannot be modified by the user.

The Gain Offset column contains a value used by the level match

feature described on Chapter 6: Using Level Match, on page 47.

Modeler views

For each listener, you have the ability to assign a specific View and

Window to be displayed in the Modeling window when the listener is playing back. Right-click in the View and Window columns in the

Playlist tab to assign a view and window to each Auditioner ® enabled listener. You can select multiple listeners and right-click to change the View and Window for multiple listeners at once.

Figure 4.6 - Right-click to assign View and Window to listeners

For example, if you assign Isometric 1 view and the STI window to a listener, the Modeling window will look like Figure 4.7 when that listener is playing.
