Okay, I own a theremin. NOW what? |
|
Any thereminists out there in DU-Land? Tonight was my first chance to actually practice a tiny bit with my theremin, and it's all really cool and challenging, but for some reason the darned volume knob doesn't seem to work. Yes, I'm reading the instructions, but so far no luck.

6. Theremin always sounded more like a futuristic drug than a musical instrument to me. |

Like- Kirk: Bones, do something.
McCoy: Jim, I gave him 50 ccs of theremin, there's nothing more I can do. I'm a doctor not a ......

10. This particular model isn't |

It has a gate where I can use it to play an analog synth, but it's not the same as full MIDI. That's okay, though.
