[REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

Hey, i think it would be cool to have a stylophone app on the N900

like imitate the look of the stylofhone and make the same "notes"

no need to worry about multitouch as the stylophone only plays 1 note at a time!!!

Thanks

Paul

Nice idea. With the stylus it will even feel quite like using the real thing, unlike the Stylophone apps for the iPhone.

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

Have you tried app called Theremin? Isn't it a bit/lot like a stylophone?

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

yea but i want an authentic stylophone app :D

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

Well we have Maelophone
:D
here is a quick lashup in pyqt to see what it might look like done in about 30mins.

lots of work on the buttons still to do

if I can get a decent image and sound files we can knock this up over the weekend, so post those sound files up if you want it.

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

Hmm, i dont have any sounds or pictures, the one above looks great

That seems to have all the samples you would need

again, thanks!!

Quick 800x480 mockup, i was thinknig to have the app fill the whole screen and have the "OFF" switch to switch out of fullscreen, or maybe off to exit and vibrato to exit fullscreen

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

fullscreen no probs, I have not looked at the sound yet but should not be a problem if I can get the sound files. Anyone go a real one of these that they can make some recordings with ?

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

well on that site i linked you to, theres a virtual stylophone app, as well as the sample files in WAV

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

Although fullscreen is nice as an option, I greatly prefer apps which by default show the top bar. When trying out a new app for the first time, you don't want to have to hunt for how to quit or task switch away from it.

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

true, start windowed and click the "vibrato" to switch to and from fullscreen?

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

have been playing with Qt sound, and its borked for anything other than media playback. I cant get a gapless playback between sound samples which is what is in the provided samples in the link

I need to look at getting long samples that I can kill the playback when you lift the stylus, rather than creating loops from sound samples.

Will be back:D

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

use Audacity and slow the clip down (will not affect pitch?)

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

@Niperoid

I just made some samples in Audacity and the concept works, but I'm not happy with the responsiveness of the audio. There are some key technology bits that need PR1.2 in Qt which should solve these.

I'll post up a version in exrtras dev in the next few days that we can all play with. Suggest we work on the UI until pr 1.2 comes out then we can bolt in the new audio stuff.

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

If this would be backwards compatible to the N800 (running the latest OS software) that would really be great. I've been searching for a stylophone app for the N800 for over a year.

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

This is python and Qt, so would be easy to make work on N800.
I'm just about ready to push this into extras dev in the next day or so.:D

sound is working now -using pygame audio while we wait for PR1.2
keyboard works great, you can slide up the scale and back down.
themeable for the keys and sound loops

back to the keyboard;)

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

Excellent! I can't wait to test it.

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

early version now up in extras development, please provide feedback

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3136/...e1bfe591_o.png

some areas that need polishing
-more work on the ui (happy to take image that YOU can provide)
-The keys and sounds are fully customisable. They are in /opt/maelophone.
-Audio is a bit crackly (will switch to Qt Audio when we get PR1.2)
-Logo will need to be changed, i'm sure its copyright :D

enjoy

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

whats the name of it?

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

maelophone

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

wont show up in any searches in app manager... i search stylophone, maelophone in name and description etc...

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

maybe stick the DEB here?

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

The project page is here:
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/maelophone/
... but there doesn't seem to be any files up.

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

have you enabled extras dev

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

installed with some retro excitement but it attempts to open and then just fails to do so. :( Rolf would be so happy to get this working and so would I.

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

There's probably missing dependencies because when I try to run it from x-terminal it says "No module named QtSvg".

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

i have all repos enabled

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

ok it showed up but it needs "libqt" is this a pr1.2 thing

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

nope it should not be.
Can you download "ncalc", which is one of my other apps that uses python and qt and tell me if it ncalc runs.

if it does then try to run melophone again .
not sure why the dependancy is not being resolved.

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

I currently have NCalc and use it. It's a great app. Still cannot open Maelophone!

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

ok just posted version 0.3.0-2 which should fix up the lib svg dependancy.
should be through the autobuilder in about 10mins

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

It may be a co-incidence but I have several failed catalogues at the moment including extras dev so probably not going to get the update for the time being.

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

ah ok There have been a lot of changes since last night gone from 0.1 to 0.3

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

ok just trying apt-get update. It's giving me version 0.3.0-2 to install.Then complains about missing: libqt4-svg, libqt4-core and a conflict with Python 2.5-qt4-gui.

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

ncalc and maelophone, both wont install

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

ok cheers, can you install nclock from extras testing and tell me if that also has the same problems.

We clearly have some strange dependancy issues, and maybe I need to flag the qt4.5 versions specifically, which I did not think was an issue with Python

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

OK, I used to have NCLock installed but removed it when my rootfs was getting full. I have just tried to install it and is giving me the same problems as posted earlier.

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

nope, nclock has the same libqt4 error

Re: [REQUEST] Stylophone App for N900
 

ok I will have to flash my N900 back to base and see why its working on mine and not yours
