Description

This is a fairly simple accelerator-based synth that emulates the famous Theremin. Theremin is an analog synth made popular through its use in soundtracks for old horror and SciFi movies and has a very distinctive sound, brought about by its lack of keyboard and use of body resistance for pitch and volume control. Its sound is therefore "gliding" through pitches without distinct notes (like a violin, for example, and unlike piano). It's also famous for its vibrato, achieved by simply moving the hands about.

Now, through use of the accelerator present in every Android phone, you can generate the sound very similar to the Theremin - just move the phone in space to control the pitch and volume. Easy to use, but - like the original Theremin - not that easy to master. You have frequency, MIDI pitch and note pitch display to help you get oriented, and you can also change which axis controls the frequency and which controls the volume. You can also control the range (2 or 4 octaves), middle A pitch (435Hz or 440Hz) and the midpoint note (A4 or A5). You can choose between 3 types of waves - sine and 2 types of square wave - and there is also an adjustable noise generator that produces white, pink and brown noise (and everything in between).

NOTE: If you hear dropouts, that might mean that either your CPU is too slow (choose smaller sample rate) or you're out of memory (increase the buffer size). If you hear dropouts even on the most conservative settings (8000Hz sample rate, +100% buffer size), please let me know.

Languages supported: English, Italian (95%)

SOON TO COME: Stereo! Additional wave types (saw, triangle), phase control, harmonics, fade in, effects, touchpad etc.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

2 ★It is only capable of using accelerometers and not all the different orientation sensors used on the various android devices e.g. it won't use G sensors so will not work at all on devices that only have g sensors and not accelerometers. Could add multi touch fallback for pitch and volume control!
4 ★Needs a glide/portamento to replace the step increase in pitch. Otherwise it awesome
3 ★Ok.
5 ★Wish there was a glide so the sound woould be a little smoother great app
1 ★No sound on X10 mini pro
1 ★BAH!
3 ★It obviously has potential, but the sound is broken up between notes, unlike a theremin. With a little work it could be a good app.
1 ★The notes do not glide like a theremin and jump from one note to the next. Also, there is a delay in the note pitch compared to the phone position.
1 ★Moto G4 plus doesn't make any sound for this device...uodate your app
1 ★That's about it
