Thanks for the link Ken.  I never found this at her sire before (been a
while).

I agree.  Makes me wonder where my friend is with the "linear slide"
version.  Time for an e-mail I guess.

Apparently the Big Brian MIDI theremin works quite well.  But, you have to
have deep pockets (~$3500 I think).  roland made a CV to MIDI years ago.  I
wonder how that thing worked?

This is the Frostwave CV to MIDI converter that will deal with Theremins and 
the like (ie, continuous sweeping pitches).

That URL didn't seem to work, but this one does:

http://home.earthlink.net/~wavefront/midicv.html

That is the "Longwave" converter. The Frostwave is made by Paul Perry in
Australia.

BTW, but URLs work as of 10PM PST.

Whoops!  I stand (sit, actually) corrected.
