Great find! Just tried it on an XO-1.5 - works fine:

* downloaded TaalPulseImage-1.1.zip using Browse activity
* resume zip from Journal, it opens in Etoys, choose "Extract all to...", 
choose /home/olpc (*)
* run Terminal
* type "squeak" (**)
* TallPulse window opens
* Squeak complains about a missing source file - click cancel at the bottom
* click triangle to play
* to quit, press ctrl-c in Terminal

- Bert -

(*) this step won't work on an XO-1 with Rainbow, you would have to unzip by 
other means

(**) this works because squeak.image was extracted to the same directory, 
otherwise you would have to type 

squeak /path/to/squeak.image

[Sugar-devel] TaalPulse

Found TaalPulse, a squeak-based VM:

"A three-in-one lehra machine for the student of hindustani (northern
indian) music. Plays lehras (cyclical melody), thekas (rythmic base)
and tampura (drone instrument) all at the same time. Runs on desktop
PCs as well as PDAs. "

http://sourceforge.net/projects/taalpulse/

Has anyone tried this on the XO-1 (or 1.5)?

cheers,
Sameer
