RE: [Doepfer_a100] Re: Finally got my new modules

2004-02-09 by David Salter

Ingo,
 
Interesting. I'll try that.
 
I purchased them for a gallery exhibition I'm doing, the idea to mount
the aerial's on mic stands so that visitors interact with the piece, I
don't think that they will have the range though, as you have to get
very close before causing an effect.
 
Thanks for the advice.
 
regards
 
David

	hello david,
	
	i have an a178 theremin, but i don't use it often.
	it looks like my a178 needs some time to warm up or something
	like that. i'm not able to adjust the cv offset to zero voltage
	until i wait for about 15 minutes, after the the antenna was
	plugged in.
	
	best wishes
	
	ingo
