Susi, what do you mean by "good foldback"? -- I'm unfamiliar with the term.

So do I!

Ah, its all in the "spin".  A MIDI theremin?  No way!  To utilize a 
Theremin to
control other instruments or effects -- hmmmm, could be interesting :)

Which reminds me of the story...

The monk kept asking the abbot if one could smoke while praying.  The abbot
declared, "You are not to smoke while you pray!"  The monk prayed for 
guidance,
and later asked, "May I pray while I smoke?"  "Of course!  Why not?", 
the abbot
replied.

Anyway, my interest in generating MIDI messages from a Theremin is more err...
academic though would be nice to capture Theremin improvs on the computer as
"seeds" for new compositions.

> The theremin should always sing.

Sounds good to me! :)
