Theremin module for generating a variable
control voltage by approaching/removing hand to/from an antenna. Additionally the module
is equipped with a Gate output with adjustable threshold level. Probably the module will
also be available in a version with a separate case so that the antenna can be placed
outside the A-100. Controls/Inputs/Outputs: antenna input, offset (knob for zero adjust),
2 x CV out, 2 x LED (for CV control positive/negative and zero offset adjust)
To simulate the original Theremin two A-178, a VCO (e.g. A-110) and a linear VCA (e.g.
A-130 or A-132) are required. But of course the A-178 can be used to control other
functions in the A-100 (e.g. filter frequency, modulation depth and/or speed, tempo,
attack/decay time and so on).
A similiar module using the illumination intensity instead of the distance
between hand and antenna is the Light-to-CV Converter
A-179.

Applications:
- controlling any voltage controlled parameter of the
A-100, e.g. pitch or pulswidth (VCO A-110), loudness (VCA A-130/131/132), panorama
(A-134), filter frequency or resonance (A-120/121/122/123), phasing (A-125), frequency
shift (A-126), resonance peaks (A-127), envelope parameters (A-141/142), tempo (A-147),
passive control by covering/shading the sensor via hand or body, active control by using
pocket lamp/flashlight/laser.
- triggering of A-100 activities via gate with
adjustable threshold, e.g. starting an envelope (A-140/141/142), Start/Stop of a sequence
(A-155), any switching function (A-150/151)
- Conversion into MIDI control change messages
is possible with the A-192.
