Seemingly YELLING makes you deserve (sometimes) more attention... ;-) I know it's not the best behaviour at all, but it does really ooze your mind when you write 1-hour formerly recipient-free messages! I could have posted the original message, even if it is by now not complete, on the LAU list, but it seemed to my opinion to have aroused more techy questions. Waiting for advice (not compliments) on how to deal with the next part... > Now, on to more important things... Do you actually play the theremin? It's been years I'm considering it! What about you? I knew choosing such an email address would make someone wonder about it... As you may have guessed, provided my reactions above, I'm fairly young and still a student, alone (physically at least) on the tracks of Libre software and musical science or scientific music... and the Theremin is definitely the instrument that has defined my career goals, a passion initially. Hence the homage alias! That's ironic: I've unearthed this topic no later than at the beginning of this month, but my single thread called "Theremin-style controller (residual "PdDSP?")" has been drowned among others: http://eca.cx/lad/2004/04/0092.html Was it misplaced, not stealthed between the other threads I'd mean, but mailinglist-wise: LAU, music-dsp...? Four years ago, I chose to go for it as the topic of my preparation class to engineering school thesis. I used a pitch-only Theremin borrowed from a friend for the presentation. Since then I couldn't manage to buy one, as nothing on the market has pleased me; or build one, due to an everlasting hesitation on the technology to be used (tubes, transistors; capacitive, infrared...). Now I'm struggling to continue this unfinished work. I'll have a website and a LaTeX project presentation up and running for this Theremin-style controller, both in french and english. (For what my email address was initially made: http://theremin.free.fr) I'll send you the 5-page document, when translated, if you want. I'll definitely make announcements on lists too. But I think I've changed my mind on what I said earlier on one reply to "PdDSP?": http://eca.cx/lad/2004/04/0083.html Mr.Freeze wrote: > I'm planning to build a special controller based on the Theremin, with MIDI > and/or CV outs. All material released for free: schematics, software... I trust on Libre software, but wouldn't see my work being sold by others without my consent. I definitely want to have my word on all mods too. Another derivative license in mind? Thinking of having my own mailing-list and a suscription-only Wiki instead of a forum... What would best fit? Cheers, Christian Frisson
