Maybe someone is interested in my newly created Theremini Software for Linux.

  • Worakround for locale-problem in numeric controllers.
  • Better MIDI handling.
  • Feature added: MidiFeedbackLoop - weird :wink:
    Use input from antennas to manipulate preset controllers.
  • Fixed import routine.

Thanks for taking the time to code this! I don’t have Linux installed but maybe one of our customers has one.
Could you please share a screenshot?

Thanks, this looks great!

We are sharing this with our customers and hopefully we can test it at our showroom (there are some computers running that OS here)

I downloaded the file, but I’m afraid I’m a rookie and I ain’t got a clue on how to make it work :blush:

First of all: you need perl !

tar -xzf ThereMaxi.tar.gz
perl ThereMaxi/ThereMaxi.pl

If you get the message „Modules not found“,
you have to install the listed perl-modules according to your distribution.
Then redo

perl ThereMaxi/ThereMaxi.pl

hummm, ilstalled all libs, and now i come up with that:

nocomp@ubuntu:~/Music/ThereMaxi$ perl ThereMaxi.pl
Use of uninitialized value $base:: in concatenation (.) or string at /home/nocomp/Music/ThereMaxi/lib/Controller.pm line 65.
ThereMaxi died
Can’t locate object method “define” via package “_085” at /home/nocomp/Music/ThereMaxi/lib/Controller.pm line 76.
nocomp@ubuntu:~/Music/ThereMaxi$


helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

I haven’t been able to make it work either

Without profound knowledge on the OS and how to install its required pieces, not much can be done I guess

Maybe a guide for dummies could help!

13

no news from the author :cry:

14

Together with the perl meetup at the local hackerspace we managed to get this running:

Change line 65 of lib/Controller.pm to:

$self = bless {}, “${base}::$self”;

and it should work! I get my theremini tomorrow hopefully so didnt get a chance to try it out yet, but the GUI loads for me with this patch.

15

Theremini arrived, can confirm that it works with the patch above (Archlinux but should work on others also). Interestingly the Theremini Editor software from moog also runs nicely under wine on linux.

16

thxx will try when back home!

17

hi,
thxx for your contribution, i am still facing missing modules error even i ve installed them using cpan
how do you proceed to install these modules?

Modules not found:
File::Pid
Gtk2
MIDI::ALSA

thxx fr your time

Asked Claude to port that code to 2027. The results of that attempt are at Releases · gunterkoenigsmann/theremaxi · GitHub . Now I have asked Claude if we can announce how to control the Theremini to DAWs like Ardour.
