Description
This instrument play intervals. The tilting of the laptop controls the intensity of each note (tilting front or back play the root note and tilting to the sides play the "interval" note). The sound is played trough a LeSLOrklie speaker (it rotates around the Hemi at an adjustable spin frequency).
Usage
Installation
- Copy the file intervalis.ck (it should be under SVN control, in the folder users/jorgeh/) to any folder you like
- Done!
Running
- Using a terminal go to the folder were "intervalis.ck" is located
- On the terminal window type: (replace N with the number of output channels of the audio card)
chuck -cN intervalis
- Play!
Optional Arguments
Optionally you can type the following to run Intervalis:
chuck -cN intervalis:arg1:arg2:arg3:arg4
Where:
- arg1: intial spining frequency [Hz]
- arg2: spining frequency increment/decrement step [Hz]
- arg3: side tilt mode (1 => vibrato; 0 => interval) [Boolean]
- arg4: number of channels to implement the LeSLOrklie [int]
This list of parameters may vary in the future
Execution
- Select the root note by using 2nd and 3rd rows of the keyboard (from Tab & CAPS to ] & RETURN). See root note selection for details
- Select interval using the numbers (1 to 8)
- Play notes by tilting the laptop
- Optional:

- To specify the direction of the interval:
- - : Descending
- = : Ascending (default)
