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?

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 This is originally made for N810 and it doesn't have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.

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

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.

I packaged maemo-theremin[1] on freerunner SHR-U.
It is nice musical tool but unfortunately it is just little bit too
slowly to work smoothly.

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