MIDI Theremin!

Post by latigid on » Thu Apr 20, 2006 5:47 pm

Hi all. I've just built this.

Yes, a MIDI theremin!

Now, it definately is no Moog, for one it's cheap and plastic, (but one could build a new case and antennae) the range is about 10cm around each antenna and the note "jumps" if your hand is not perfectly still. But it is an okay controller; I hooked it up to the Voyager for some interesting results. It probably took about eight hours to build and caibrate, and that's being careful and thoughrough.

Enjoy! And feel free to ask any questions.
