Bicycle Theremin

[CHoaglin at aol.com]

Today I had an interesting idea...

Take two stationary bicycles and hook a bicycle generator (the roller that 
fits against the wheel and powers the headlight) to each bike. Use the 
voltage output to control the pitch and modulation of the theremin. The 
theremin gets controlled by how fast the people on the bikes pedal..

It might be possible to expand on the idea and have multiple bikes 
controlling VCO, VCA, VCF, arpeggiator tempo, etc.

On an unrelated note...are there any downloadable patches for the Roland 
JP-8000 available online? I just got one a couple days ago, and I'd like to 
find some some really creepy sounding patches for it, as many of the built in 
ones aren't very well suited for goth/industrial.
