TEMPEST_FOR_MP3(1) General Commands Manual TEMPEST_FOR_MP3(1)
NAME
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) appli-
cation 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.
AUTHORS

pest_for_eliza was written by Erik Thiele.
