[sdiy] Modular Theremin or Heterodyne VCO

[Mrs. Rectangular]

I remember the device you used to make (the space beam). I actually have one of your other devices.
I should explain that I don't want to build a theremin into a large box with alot of other modules. Rather, I would like to make a box with just what is needed to create CV from the antennas. Then plug that box into another box where I would have a VCA and a special VCO that would use heterodyning to generate the sound.
