Abstract
The disclosed technology relates to an electronic apparatus including a processor, a touch-sensitive display, and an accelerometer. An exemplary method includes receiving in the processor an acceleration value outputted by the accelerometer in response to a user touching a position on the touch-sensitive display with a given velocity. The method includes associating the acceleration value with a function, such as the output of a musical note, indicated by a touched location on the touch-sensitive display. The method includes modifying the function, such as audible volume of the musical note, in accordance with the acceleration value.
