Re: [SHR] new package: theremin (alfa version warning)

The stutter is similar to what I heard when using fluidsynth on the Neo.
Does this app use a synth program to generate the sound?  Or does it
do it directly?

 It is nice musical tool but unfortunately it is just little bit too

 Anybody has any ideas how to get it working little bit faster?

Thanks a lot for the package.

I think I found a solution to get it working a little bit better?

First, I used the timbre Clarinet. Result is better than with the
other timbers (SINE + ADSR, Plcuked String, Trombone).

Then, I modified the Exec line in the .desktop file

Exec=DISPLAY=:0.0 theremin  renice -n 19 -p $!

I don't understand why the DISPLAY=:0.0 makes the difference but it
does.

Hi Aapo,

Cool project. But seeing this I wonder - wouldn't it even be a better 
idea to use the accelerometers instead of the touchscreen? Or even use 
both: accelerometers for the pitch and touchscreen for the amplitude - 
like the original theremin :)

Just my 2ct,
Andreas

Nice idea. This is originally made for N810 and it doesn't have
accelerometers. But when N900 (with accelerometers) really comes maybe
upstream is interested in this idea.

I hear nothing else, just noise (zzZZZzz, brrrZZZrr) coming out of the
speaker...:-(
 Any idea?
