Example: Playing percussion sounds by tapping the screen

Description

This example MIDlet shows you how to use the multimedia and touch features of the Series 40 platforms to create a virtual drumkit that allows the user to play percussion sounds. The sounds are implemented with Player objects that are triggered when touch events are registered on the circular pads ("drums") on the screen. The user can also record their beats and play them back later.
