Bolo Rojo Theremin- closeup

A closeup of the controls- all the original button openings were used for the theremin controls and output jacks (except one, for future use.)

 

The PAiA Theremax circuit used in this project provides control-voltage outputs for pitch and volume, which allows the instrument to control outboard equipment. This capability is easily exploited to allow the theremin to be used as a very responsive gestural controller. Interfacing with a microcontroller is a snap ;)

 

The oscillator inductors are exposed for tuning and you can also see the touch strips we added for manually applying 'modulation', along the top edge of the opening. More pics in the set: www.flickr.com/photos/imajilon/sets/72157629518599040/
