Light Theremin - Supporters edition

SUPPORTERS EDITION

This is the supporters edition of the Light Theremin for Android, meaning it costs money and displays no ads. All updates for the app will be made to this version, however before you buy it you may want to try the free version. search the play store for "Thereluminous".


WHAT IS THE LIGHT THEREMIN?

A new Innovative way to create music, the Thereluminous takes readings from the device's light sensor and uses it to influence the frequency of an oscillator - more light means higher frequency.

This is, as far as I know, the first and only Light Theremin on Google play. Which I am proud of :)


HOW TO PLAY THE THERELUMINOUS

♬ The app uses the device's light sensor (not proximity sensor), so consider the location of the device's light sensor when using it.

♬ Highly lit environment is best for the light theremin, as it allows the most sensitivity. In a dim environment you can calibrate the light to a higher frequency.

♬ Consider working with a flashlight or a lamp, directing it closer and further from the light sensor, or covering it with your hand.
Working with a dimmer and fading the light in and out is a great option.

♬ My favorite settings:
Sin / Saw wave
Pentatonic / Hijaz scale
75% / 25% Reverb

♬ Don't use near dogs in a highly lit environment. Be nice.

♬ Requires practice for good results, just light a real Theremin does.

♬ Play in one of four different wave forms - Sine, Triangle, Square, Saw.

♬ Calibrate the theremin's frequency to the light ambience around you - The light reading is translated to 440, 880, or 1,320 Hz.

♬ Adjust the sensitivity of the readings (also affects the wave's glissando).

♬ Mute button.

♬ Device won't go to sleep while the app is on, which is ideal for live performance.
