<< So, the Tannerin transfers that control to a slider
that travels along a horizontal surface. A keyboard can be "drawn" on that
flat surface showing where to "slide" the control to so that you get in the
vicinity of the correct pitch. >>



larry,
thanks for the info and the url.
gee, and all these years i thought the "good vibrations" sound was a
theremin...... oh well......you are right, though, exact pitch control with a
theremin is an art. i wonder how long it took clara rockamore to master it?
i used to have a simple theremin years ago from a swtpc kit and now have 2
theremin controllers as part of my d∗∗∗∗∗∗ modular. i must admit that i like
messing around with them. alternative control devices, however simple or
complex, personalized or mass produced definitely need to be encouraged!
best,
dave
