DS Sampling Keyboard v1.0
=========================
by Tob

What's that?
------------

Ever since I saw Ferris Bueller's day off I wanted to have a sampling keyboard,
but these things were always too expensive for me. So, as a first coding
experiment with my Nintendo DS, I coded a software sampling keyboard that uses
the DS's microphone and touchscreen. It's still pretty basic, but I think it's
already quite funny to use. So, feel free to try it out and please give me bug
reports and feature requests.

Usage:
------

OK, for all of you who didn't get it yet:

1. Press and hold "A"
2. Make a stupid sound into the mic
3. Play around

Known Issues:
-------------

* The quality of the recording is rather poor. This is because the microphone
  is not completely figured out yet. The current quality is the best we can
  do by now.
* The recording does not start instantly, but is delayed for about half a
  second. This is due to problems with the microphone level at the beginning
  of the recording whoch would produce a nasty click at the beginning. So I
  decided to leave it out.
* The pen handling needs improvement. Sorry, I have not looked into methods
  for improving the pen accuracy yet.
