Theremin patch

Faybs · Post by **Faybs** » Tue May 11, 2004 4:41 am

I was surfing on the web when I discovered the theremin instrument on "hollow sun" site (vintage instruments), wow, listening to their demo brought me back in time ....
They made a Akai program based on real samples of the machine, they made a performance with a classical orchestra ... Very, very impressive

So, I'm looking for a theremin modular patch or synth, anyone has this ?

Thank you

I think i remember that Celmo even made a real free complete device that suppose to completely emulate the theremin, or 'french marteneau' if i got the name right.

Les Ondes Martenot is what you're looking for, Marcus.

There is a free theremin-like device, same principle as Delay Lama here: http://www.fxpansion.com/skunk/myst11.zip

No, it's this one i was talking about :

But i tought it was free, and isnt't, it's 35€, but it's the real thing

Wavelength used to do one.....don't know if it's still available though

I've used the sine wave on Celmo's BassmanIII with some Spaceecho,vibrato, portamento etc to get the effect, but I'll definitely try this "ClassicalWave". I love the sound.

I think the best example was in the theme music to "The Day the Earth Stood Still".

Any other good ones ?

Sorry to say this, but Celmo's device does not capture the real thing. Waveform is a sinus wathever the frequency is, which is not the case of the theremin ...

And I couldn't make wavelenght's device work ...

I'm actually working on a modular patch ...

I would like to inject a voltage through line IN of my creamware, I want to know what is the maximun voltage (in Volts or mVolts) before distortion (when mixer goes in red) ?
Anyone ?

My question looks perhaps strange, but I want to control Pitch CV not with my keyboard but with an external device of my own (coil + magnet + amplifier...), just an experience ...
