What is it?
 A musician's tool. I wanted a tuner for my
guitar and violin, plus a metronome to start songs off at the right tempo, and
the current S60 programs just didn't work. Hence Musician. It was also created
as my very first Python program (see the notes below).
There are polyphonic tuning tones for E, B, G, D and A,
enough to tune both guitar and violin. The tones last for a configurable length
of time. The metronome will display beats at any tempo from 50 to 220 beats per
minute, with an optional 'metronome' sound sample. And a playable mini-piano
will let you play out simple melodies.
 Download it now for Symbian
OS/S60 3rd Edition
(e.g. Nokia E61, N73, N93, N95...)
Download the latest v3.2 here as musician32.zip (39K). Please read the notes
in the Readme.txt file about first needing to install the latest version
of the Python interpreter on your smartphone. See below!
This version of Musician works with QVGA (320 by 240)
or 352x416 pixel displays. This covers the vast majority of S60 3rd Edition
devices, but NOT the N91 or E90. Yet.
Download it now for Symbian OS/S60 2nd Edition
Download the latest v1.7 here as musician.sis (16K). Install it in the usual
way. See the notes below about first needing to install the Python
interpreter on your smartphone.
v1.7 adds a
playable mini-piano; v1.6 adds left/right/up/down control of the metronome
tempo.
This version of Musician is for S60 v2 phones, i.e.
everything from the Nokia 6600 onwards. Hopefully that covers almost everybody.
| When installing
OPL or Python programs onto Series 60 smartphones you'll get the standard
'Supplier not verified', or similar warnings. This program is perfectly safe to
install, so the warnings can safely be ignored. Of course, if you don't trust
downloading from here then that's up to you, but you won't be able to use the
program either! |
Look! Python interpreter needed!
If you haven't already done so, you'll need to have
already installed the free Python interpreter on your smartphone. This is a
great patch that gives your device the ability to run Python freeware and
shareware programs and is highly recommended. You can even write your own,
should you feel ambitious! Get the Python interpreter
here.
Note that there are several different versions, depending on which version of
Series 60 your smartphone runs. Several people seem to be confused by the
download files, so note that the N93/N80/N71/E61/E70/N73 etc. are all S60 3rd
Edition, the N70/N90 are S60 2nd Edition, FP3, the 6630/6680 are S60 2nd
Edition, FP2 and the 6600, 7610, 6670 and 3230 are simply S60 2nd Edition.
And note that you DON'T need any of the SDK files, just grab the
(self-signed) install files and 'Script shell' package for your particular S60
version/device. Phew!
It's a one-time download and once your smartphone has it,
you should never have to reinstall it and will be able to add the tiny
Python-written programs without further hassle! |
