DESCRIPTION:
Open.Theremin is an opensource & DIY Theremin produced in Switzerland, by Gaudi Lab : http://www.gaudi.ch/OpenTheremin/

I discussed a lot with Urs Gaudenz, director of Gaudi Lab, about this new version (Open.Theremin v3) and i got the chance to beta test it. I decided to present it in a demo-perfo video about "Theremin & Retro Gaming", like i did for the previous version (Open.Theremin.UNO v2)

Urs did a fantastic job improving his project. It's a great little theremin instrument, linear and playable.

This newer version -v3- has a lot of great new functionalities: easy to built, easy calibration (all automatic!), manual fine tuning for adjustments (really great if you use Carolina Eyck's fingering technique), 3 registers, 8 different sound settings.

Open.Theremin v3 is not meant to be a theremin for trained thereminist. Compared to other theremin such as Moog EPro or Etherwave, there's a lack of response of the volume antenna, some latency, higher sensitivity to its environnement. Nonetheless, i think it's the cheapest and most playable theremin currently available (because it's linear!). So it is a good option to consider if you like DIY, have an interest in the theremin and have a low budget. And it's totally open source, so you can help improve it :-) !

Open.Theremin is very sensitive to its environment and bad grounding. There's a filtering on the volume (which makes its response a bit slower than Moog theremin) to make it less sensitive. Nonetheless, the power adapter you will use will affect it a lot. If you have noise problems, try out different adaptors. USB power supply can be cheap and therefore not very recommended for that.
