Information about theremin kit from PAiA.
Since its introduction during the 1920's, the instrument which bears Leon Theremin's name has been evocative in image and tone. Theremax captures this age-of-technology spirit in an instrument based on the same heterodyne principles as the original but with embellishments made possible by the economy of integrated circuits and solid state electronics.
In addition to the traditional mellow sine wave tone, Theremax provides a square wave output that is rich in harmonics and ideal for use with external filters and processors. And to control outboard units, there are Control Voltage outputs for pitch and volume. A convenient foot switch input allows muting the internal tone source without disabling the CVs.
But Theremax's most unique features are it's Velocity Control Voltage (proportional to the rate-of-change of volume) and Gate/Trigger outputs. Internally, Velocity is wired so that it can produce transient asymmetrical distortions in the output, and when used with external filters provides a wide pallet of expressive possibilities. Gate/Trigger signals are compatible with both gated and s-trigger synths and CVs may be used with either V/Hz. or V/oct. scaling. |
