PTheremin Description

PTheremin is a software-based Theremin synthesizer. PTheremin is a software-based Theremin synthesizer.This is a simple software-based Theremin written in Python. A theremin is an electronic device that uses a capacitance sensor to determine the distance between the device and the user and outputs a tone that varies based on the distance sensed. Most people are familiar with this instrument as the very sound effect used in many old sci-fi flicks. This program lets the user control the frequency and amplitude instead using the mouse.An additional feature is the ability to limit the output frequency to only musical notes of a particular scale (diatonic, pentatonic, etc). You won't get the very sound but you will be able to play clean notes easily. You can't use vibrato in this mode unfortunately.To get a really convincing Theremin sound it helps to run the output into a reverb effect of some sort (I use a reverb pedal and a guitar amplifier).Requirements:· A Linux PC with an OSS-suported soundcard.· Python 2.3 or later.· PyGTK 2.4 or later. Might work on earlier versions but not tested.What's New in This Release:· Fixed max volume causing clipping.· Fixed saving a recording takes forever.· Various UI improvements (colors, note labels, scales).
