opps just noticed the screenshot was not visible.
also patched to build three to fix a little bug

Re: [Announce] Maelophone -Stylophone emulator
 

I found it little hard to press keys and even harder to use switches to control vibrato, organ etc.

Maybe little less of authenticity would be good for usability? I'm talking about larger keys.

Good work though. Very nice little app to play with.

Cheers, I debated this in designing it, and decided that the app should be stylus friendly rather than finger friendly as it was an emulation :D

however I'm now thinking about a piano type application with multiple voices, which would have big fat keys .

Please vote as on the above link as we need to move it into extras.

Love it. Really good and bringing back lots of memories.

Couple of minor points:-
1. When starting, it is playing a note, even with no keys touched.
2. When changing the volume it plays a note, but this may be by design?
3. Cannot have a vibrato organ?

Like the idea of a piano app too!

Thanks john

1. I thought I had killed that bug:confused:, problem with Qt events. only seems to do it intermittently. Will look at it some more
2. Yes by design so you know how loud it is.
3. Vibro organ is possible, if someone can find me some sound samples. As you guessed I disabled it.

Thanks of feedback.

I made a little graphically improved sketch. Without settings for now though. If you want, I can help your project with graphics.

This is great! and the best part is that we can change the samples!....wow.....it can become a drum machine or a guitar or any instrument we want!
