We were having performance issues with the apple script playing the wave sounds. This was an issue when we had an update rate of 1/10th of a second.

To improve performance I took Dan’s code to decide which wave it is (Shape and Frequency) and implemented it in Java. I then play the sound file via the QuickTime API.

I also re-factored the classes. Here is the current API and here is the JAR file (including javadoc, .java and .class files)

The performance is much improved and we can now play with our system at an update rate of 1/10th of a second. This give a realtime feel to the project.
