I want to explain how to catch someone playing Theremin.

So far, I there are 128 people registered on the server. It is not much. I think, out of these 128, not too much people who play music with Theremin. So, it is hard to catch someone playing at particular moment of time.

Just want to explain that when the Theremin is in 'Listen others' screen and no one is currently playing then it is in the mode of waiting for someone to start playing. As soon as someone starts playing you will hear it. Clicking the 'Next' button constantly is not necessary.

For example, I opened the 'Listen others' screen and started to wait. In about 10 minutes I could hear players with nicknames "daveandchris", "Gnuciccio" and "sla_erick".

Especially, "daveandchris" was playing a variety of popular songs (but with sine wave instrument only, for some reason).

Good to hear people play Maemo Theremin :-)

I wonder what happens if two or more are playing at the same time?

In that case you will hear only one of the players. You will be able to move from one player to the next one by clicking the 'Next' button.

I found the "Thereden" nick in the data base :-).

Small addition:
If you are using Theremin v1.4 then you need to press Next button at least once in order to put the app to waiting-for-players mode. In Theremin 1.5 it is not necessary. Also the "Network status" should be "Logged in". If it is "Offline", one needs to check the Network Settings.

Look for some sheets at the Theremin homepage:

Scroll to the page bottom to see the sheets for 3 songs.

All

New version of Theremin has been released and available in Diablo extras repository, version number is 1.5.0-2.

New features:
- new instrument voices: Violin
- Keyboard mode

I really love this app but would it be possible to add a sound more similar with the original theremin?

Maybe with an audio sample loop with the original tone.
