Open.Theremin -v3- / Experimenting & Retro Gaming

Open.Theremin is an opensource & DIY Theremin produced in Switzerland, by Gaudi Lab : www.gaudi.ch/Op...
I discussed a lot with Urs Gaudenz, director of Gaudi Lab, about this new version (Open.Theremin v3) and i got the chance to beta test it. I decided to present it in a demo-perfo video about "Theremin & Retro Gaming", like i did for the previous version (Open.Theremin.UNO v2)
Urs did a fantastic job improving his project. It's a great little theremin instrument, linear and playable.
This newer version v3 has a lot of great new functionalities: easy to built, easy calibration (all automatic!), manual fine tuning for adjustments (really great if you use Carolina Eyck's fingering technique), 3 registers, 8 different sound settings.
Open.Theremin v3 is not meant to be a theremin for trained thereminist. Compared to other theremin such as Moog EPro or Etherwave, there's a lack of response of the volume antenna, some latency, higher sensitivity to its environnement. Nonetheless, i think it's the cheapest and most playable theremin currently available (because it's linear!). So it is a good option to consider if you like DIY, have an interest in the theremin and have a low budget. And it's totally open source, so you can help improve it :-) !
Open.Theremin is very sensitive to its environment and bad grounding. There's a filtering on the volume (which makes its response a bit slower than Moog theremin) to make it less sensitive. Nonetheless, the power adapter you will use will affect it a lot. If you have noise problems, try out different adaptors. USB power supply can be cheap and therefore not very recommended for that.
Intro music (00:00 - 01:15) "Arcadie" was played on an Epro Theremin & Pocket Operator "Arcade". Composed by Therminal C (Coralie Ehinger), 2016
Game is - Repulse (music : Impulse & Repulse, composed by Therminal C (Coralie Ehinger), played on Open.Theremin + Buchla Music Easle)

This video is so delightful and entertaining! Thanks for all the work you put into it for our enjoyment. I really did laugh out loud when you Pimped your theremin!

Well-made video and the retro SFX fit great with theremin's sound.

Miss Terminal C ... how the fuck do you know all the things I love so much and combined them into a video? Stop motion/ old school video games/ Theremins/ Short black hair on a cute girl/ Fleisher cartoons ... like how? HOW!?

Good idea and product. This video is however awful in many ways.
