The Lev Antenna – One of Several Theremin Phenomenon

Hi Rupert,

Absolutely! You are correct. As long as we are stating OPINIONS, as opposed to FACTS, everybody is right.

Right?

Sure, "om ah hum vajra guru padme side hum."

Since the theremin is so easy I took up the korg arp odyssey module to get some slider play:

Extreme minimalism, just a nudge here and there. Harder to pitch than a theremin, but I like that.

Rupert,

Have you ever investigated the Haken Continuum or the new (and considerably less expensive) ContinuuMini? I think you would find the interface both satisfying and challenging.

I met the Dalai Lama many, many moons ago in Dharamsala, India, back in the day when he was more available than he is now. I asked him if he had any memory of his past incarnation as Gautama Siddhartha. He laughed and said, “I cannot remember what I had for breakfast!”

The Haken Continuum is way out of my price range and the Mini has just over a two octave range which makes it ideal for most theremin standards. I would feel a tad cramped. The sound quality is very compelling and the articulation which emulates real instruments is something I would like to get into, but right now 360 video is more compelling. I have over 4 hours (42 pieces) of the odyssey module driving a mel9 and I have no idea what to do with it . . . no venues and no market. 

Before I could get the Mini, I should get a computer for home.

Ah, the simple life, theremin, pedals and analogue synths. 

What would be nice is if I could use my current sound sources to drive the wonderful software behind the Haken and the Roli systems or the new sample box that promises so much . . .  

pitch plus volume equals anything.
