Theremin

In the February 1996 issue of "Electronic Musician", an article by Robert Moog, titled "Build the EM Theremin" was published. Below are the details, images and a sound file for the THEREMIN I built from that article.

Schematic

Divide and Conquer

I divided the implementation of the electronics into 6 sub circuits.

  • Power Supply

Fritzing

Actual construction resulted in difference between the fritzing layout and actual build.
