Q: Is the Sensor32 array a Theremin?

A: No, not.....In this demo video my intention was to show smooth fading without sound (avoid those misunderstandings like Theremin.....) In this video "noTheremin" Sensor32 is used exclusively to conduct 12 indvidual light bulbs, each flashing in different speed (rhythm).

Q: In Facebook the DJane from Estonia asks: can it be a light show?

A:Answer yes, as soon as there is sound to it (which is technically ready)

 Q: How does it compare to a theremin?

 A: It is polyphonic, can control any parameter in multimedia and sound synthesis. The resolution may be weaker but at the same time may be easier to play.....depends on the control software. If you insist in the term Theremin: sensor32 repesents 16 Theremins ;-)

Q: To Roger Nov2, 2022, Facebook. He proposed a link to a performance on a historic Thermin

A:  My comments in Facebook, (to Roger Nov2, 2022)

Dear Roger, thank you for your interest in sensor32. Your example film shows the virtuoso use of a real Theremin. One hears a unanimously artfully ornamented melody (single voice, two parameters: pitch and volume). I don't start from the Theremin. But if you really want to compare it, it would be 16 theremins (however not RF waves contolled but infrared distance). With some training, you should be able to play in two voices, the volumes with your lower legs. Even more voices for more people at the same time. My interest is in live computer music. Basically I am interested in improvisation with more than two parameters! Imagine a soundscape that I dive into with my whole body. More text can be found at www.sensor32.com
