| + | ==== About Theremin Development ==== | ||
| + | From Lydia Kavina: | ||
| + | * Very important that a good theremin engineer should be a good theremin player. | ||
| + | * Theremin can be sensitive to the size of the person, it affects the tuning of an instrument. | ||
| + | * Stability important - different voices, imitating other instruments and singing voices, and original theremin voice. These may be needed to be tailored to different ways of playing. | ||
| + | * | ||
| + | |||
| + | Thierry, developer of Open Theremin | ||
| + | * Many theremin circuits published in electronic magazines, and forums, many are well thought from point of view of engineer, but are useless for a musician. | ||
| + | * We have a more limited market than a violin, which is available in many sizes. So for Theremin, a modular approach is appropriate | ||
| + | |||
| + | Eric Holloway is developer of D—Lev, and FPGA solution for Theremin. | ||
| + | * He started on Theremin world 10 years, and has been working on it for 8 years, but very heavily for 4 years. | ||
| + | * Built 10 kits perhaps, and several prototypes. Is having trouble to find the FPGA board that he uses, and the price has increased. | ||
| + | * Very little analog in the D-lev. Doing everything numerically, | ||
| + | * Jeff demonstrated Silent Night played on D-Lev during Lydia Kavina Christmas Party on 2021/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Discussing Design of D-Lev | ||
| + | * Lydia - D-Lev is similar to a Open Theremin type project. | ||

| - | * Theremini | + | * Have some volume problems, and it may be temperature related, appears volume diminishes at higher temperatures. |

| + | * If very cold, it can need 20 minutes to properly warm up | ||
| + | * Not yet comparable to professional instruments, | ||
| + | * Linearity is good, and it is very light weight | ||
| + | * New wave table files can be created and added to Open Theremin. | ||
| + | * No editor to create custom timbres. | ||
| + | * Version 5 - will have more dynamic on the fly timbre choices | ||

| + | ==== Standard Pieces To Learn On Theremin ==== | ||
| + | * Lydia Kavina comment: Harmonies with violin have overtones, but Theremins don’t have the same overtones, and the melodies are much more difficult. | ||

| + | * Dutch Christmas Song | ||
