Happy to be back

Thank you for all your mails with comments, suggestions and requests. After an intensive time with the project I had to take a break. I guess some of you have taken the challenge to produce your own boards. Please send me pictures :-) If you want to sell boards please feel free to do so and I would also advertise for you on the website. With all your amazing feedback I am now motivated to continue. I will produce a next batch of boards with the help of some friends who set up a small production facility. To get the parts and the machines running will probably take a few weeks. I'll keep you up to date.

Sold out in less than a month

The third batch of 60 Open.Theremin.UNO sold out in less than a month. Thank you for your interest in the project and have fun with all the new theremins. I ask my self on how to continue with the project at this moment. I am having a hard time to keep up with my desktop production. A redesign with some improvement, ideas from theremin world  discussions and simplifications would be possible. Friends are planing to set up an open circuit manufacturing fab where I could eventually do a next batch. And some time ago SparkFun expressed interest in producing and selling the open.theremin - ok with me - I have not heard back from them. I put up a blank page here for your comments and ideas. Meanwhile do it like Mark N. who produced these three theremins all by him self.

 

N/O/D/E Series

The design for the next batch of open.theremin.uno is ready. It will be a special edition for the N/O/D/E music festival in Lausanne. The design features Coralie Ehinger and Jimmy Virani, two creative theremin player. They wrote the "Manuel d'Initiation au Theremin" together with Thierry Frenkel. Design by Nicolas Perrin. The boards and parts are ordered and will be first available for the festival starting January 24th.

Great time at N/O/D/E

Had a great time at N/O/D/E festival. The special edition of Open.Theremin went so well with the re-edition of the theremin.me book. And Jimmy Virani, Coralie Ehinger, Greig Stewart (aka Theremin Hero) and Thierry Frenkel they all played the different open.theremins I brought and it was so nice. Thank you everyone. For videos see the community pages.

Arduino-ized Theremin

Michael Margolis, the author of the famous Arduino Cookbook took a closer look at the Open.Theremin.UNO. He writes: "it sounds and functions so much better than the mock theremins commonly built with various distance sensors. I will certainly be mentioning this in the next edition of the book." - WOOW. And he even took the oportunity to cleanup the code and simplify some of my raw AVR code using proper Arduino instructions. Now on GitHub. Thank you so much, Michael.
