I am unable to play a tune but move through the perfectly linear pitch field, you
get the
idea. This is
theremin direct to sound card so enhanced only by your computer speaker system.
This is true Transistor
Heterodyning, at first it is an intimate string like sound, then flip
a switch
about halfway and the subtle effect is removed. Few ever
discover what makes a natural theremin sound good, then others misguide you into thinking it is the way
you play when it is not or others resort to digitally faking it. )-'
Ideal Pitch Linearity found in the
Phoenix will one day be the only acceptable norm. All
theremins operating their pitch oscillators at just over 900 kHz will benefit from the Lev
Antenna concept.
I bread boarded and tested a hybrid
tube/valve theremin
operating at 900 kHz using miniature high Q shielded coils
and it also tuned for a "Perfectly Linear"
pitch field.
When you have true pitch linearity
the very low notes play a crisp vibrato. Transistor theremin
oscillators can give you a comparable sound to the original
early theremins, many designers have excuses why they choose not
too?
