tempest_for_eliza - play songs with your computer monitor and AM radio
SYNOPSIS¶
tempest_for_eliza pixelclock x 1000000 HDisplay
VDisplay HTotal VTotal *
radio frequency play
mode amplification filename
DESCRIPTION¶
This program displays patterns on a computer monitor that can produce musical
tones on AM radios tuned to the proper frequency.
OPTIONS¶
pixelclock x 1000000,
HDisplay,
VDisplay,
HTotal,
and
VTotal all should be the same each time for your monitor. Use the
xvidtune(1) application to determine these values.
As the name suggests, for the pixelclock parameter multiply the result given by
xvidtune(1) by 1000000.
A usual sensible value for
radio frequency is 10000000, or 10Mhz.
USAGE¶
In order to play custom music, it needs to be converted. For this, see
/usr/share/doc/tempest-for-eliza/mksong.sh.
