About Leon

Leon is a theremin emulator app. The user produces a sine wave by touching anywhere in the "play" area. The x-position controls frequency while the y-position controls amplitude.

Users can set values for the frequency range, release time, tremolo, vibrato and now waveshaping. When used in a tablet (with multi-touch capabilities), a different layout is offered that allows users to change settings (e.g. the vibrato depth) while performing.

Use the menu button to hide or show again the top bar.

Leon should have been an update to my first android app named Leon, but since it was the first app I've uploaded, I've lost a file I shouldn't have lost...

Enjoy!

I love the simulator. There are only two improvements that I could suggest. The first would be registration marks (either numbered or labeled with percentages) along the top and side. These would allow you to press the same spot ( for both frequency and amplitude ) on the emulator on different sessions. That way you can work out the precise locations needed to play a song and then reproduce them later. The other suggestion would be adding multitouch support.

This is awesome. Very responsive. Decent options for tone shaping. Would like to see some kind of envelope control and definitely a tuned mode that helps you play scales and stuff. Now I have a theremin! Would also like an option to set controls to default and maybe some presets. I am going to use this for a song!

Great but,could you add a option to input our own recordings? So,lets say, if you wanted to make a choir sing.you take a sound affect of them singing a sylable like "a", then once you download it from somewhere. Then you access it through the app.

Great app! But I wish there was a way to record it, save it to a file and work with the audio some more... Because it's awesome! Also what could be nice, and would make the interface easier, are sliders for the release, etc. And attack controls?:D Haha, I'm asking too much for a free app. Does what it should, and does it very well. Thank you!

I don't usually rate apps but this one I had too. saved myself loads of money from buying or renting a theremin for my band :D

Short of an actual Theremin, this is about as good as it gets.... Upon reflection, actual Theremins are never this easy to adjust, so this may be better.

by D####:

I really enjoy using this app, and it works great for creating experimental music! If anything, I would ask that more oscillators and filters be added, to allow for more customized sound.

This is just great. Give it a try. That's way better than any explanation I could offer.

While watching the episode with the Theremin our puppy was quite taken by it. This app has his full attention.

So many synths crackle on my Xperia Z2 Tablet, but this one does not.

Good Job with this theremin emulator, been a old user, I wish this had the same image of the old Leon, maybe an option to swap background images, other than that, excellent.

Good theremin app. Do not pin this app! You will have to reset. Using the back button to exit pin won't work.

B70%

A really cool little plaything! One possible improvement might be a visible grid in the touch area, to make it easier to actually play stuff.

Ha ha ha ! I'm laughing at myself playing with this stoned. Funny.

In my house, we are ghost obsessed. And I also love playing with DJ programs and beatmakers (like gstomper) but I've found my new fave toy :)

Q70%
by Q####:

Not sure why--been playing withit more---but it seems like the old one transitioned smoother than this one--although, it could be my tablet too. Sounds like it steps through notes, whereas the old one, transitioned a lot smoother---more theremin like.

The only thing that could make it any better in my eyes would be some kind of visual tonal spectrum in the background, just as an option for the musically disadvantaged amongst us!

C70%
by C####:

Extremely calming, especially at lower frequencies. Distracts and puts me at ease no matter how poorly I play it. A definite gem. Good work.

G70%
by G####:

I like the logo and the layout of the new version but please add a option the get the old lovely background with that guy playing the Theremin (and the point which isn't visible if it is behind the Theremin )

L70%
by L####:

Not too simple, nor too complex, provides realistic sound and easy control. This is by far the best theremin app for android.

Fun just to play around with. I wish there was a delay option though

I like that you can adjust the tremlo,depth,etc. I'll definitely use this on a recording or two

Super fun. Sounds good and it's touch sensitive on The Samsung note. Love it

X70%
by X####:

Its ok but the tone is way to square and not very true to the sound of any theremin ive owned or played

C70%
by C####:

... it'd be nice to have an option of grid lines to help find 'notes', especially on small phone screens.

Played a solo at church with this and got a standing ovation!!

But the audio cuts out after a while on the Oneplus Two. (Driver issue?) Worked great on Oneplus One and Samsung GS3.
