  So the other day I decided to actually bust open the broken camcorder that my girflriend gave to me. (Salt spray. Bummer.)
  I noticed some weird little things antiparallel to each other that say muRata on them. And I started to remember - yes - this was one of those camcorders that cancels out the shakes. Hmmm... So I looked them up  - I think they were called piezoelectric gyroscope transducers. A tranducer element vibrates and outputs a voltage in relation to coriolis effect or something liek that.

  Well I immediately had a cool idea for them: I'd make a two axis- CV controller like one might make out of a joystick.
  Perfect for the kind of stuff I build (I have all kinds of VST stuff for regular music - I make ambient noise things with my electronics parts.)

  The circuit is really easy. I'll let you guys knwo my results when I get it done.
