Subject: [motm] Alternate controllers for MOTM
>From: "J. Larry Hendry" <jlarryh@...>

>I will very soon be building an alternate controller for my MOTM system
>that can be used to accurately play Theremin style leads with my MOTM
>modules. This controller will be available in kit form in the $100 or so
>range. The guy who is producing the kit is the actual designer and builder
>of the Tannerin (named after its original designer) that Brian Wilson will
>be using on the upcoming Beach Boys tour. The Tannerin (not the Theremin)
>is the instrument used to produce the Theremin like sounds of Good
>Vibrations. The Tannerin is also easier to play as you actually slide a
>control across a flat surface that can be calibrated like a keyboard.
>Trust me, this method will be much easier that trying to reach out and grab
>those notes out of this air as required by the Theremin (been there, done
>that, own one, can't play it).
>
>I understand from Tom Polk (the kit designer) that the control voltage
>output will conform to the 1 volt / octave standard. So, the audio output
>of the Tannerin could be used in addition to the control voltage output for
>integration into a MOTM patch.

>If anyone has any interest in this alternate controller, please send me
>e-mail privately. If you have general questions you think the group might
>benefit from , please post them here. Once I have my Tannerin kit built
>and working with my MOTM stuff, I will be certain to make a full report and
>some audio clips available to the list.
