The algorithm behind was made by me on the second Music Hakathon in Sofia. You can control the range of the synth by adjusting the light sensitivity, but the app is not working in dark environments. The tonal range is 2 and a half octaves and you can play in legato and staccato mode. The touch area of the device is working as a kill switch so you can produce these talking synth sound.

Features:

• play without touching the device
• kill switch
• 2.5 octaves
• adjust camera range with light sensitivity slider
• core midi - so you can add USB midi keyboard to the show
• nice and fat sound
• visual color indicator for the playing note
• legato and staccato mode
