The
analog Phoenix theremin is 10 years old, now revealed to the
public 9.26.18
The
digital people made big claims back then... years later
they delivered R2D2 on a kazoo.
If
there is any interest there are some areas I would
like to better explain before you build.
The
latest build PDF should be posted in January 2019
Post your
interest in my Chat
Forum maybe others can eventually trade ideas.

I
am making some modifications so check back in January
2019
The
new Phoenix 2020 build sneak peek over
here!
I
am putting together a Phoenix to be sent to
the great-grandson of Lev Termen himself in
St. Petersburg, Russia for an independent
evaluation. Not until this is done can I
complete
the modifications to the latest PDF
Will
also add a how to make the PCB webpage without
heat and pressure, fascinating!
Phoenix
Features:
Perfect Pitch Field linearity of 7 octaves of
any width.
The Classic Old School Theremin Sound, not a
cheap whistle.
Pitch Null
Volume Null
Mic to Line level Output adjust
Instead of Tone, I call it a Brightness knob for
your sound.
On board Pitch Preview amp with Volume control
You can get that walking bass effect by tapping the loop
All
of this fits inside an EWS box so find one
cheap that does not work.

If you
succeed
building the Phoenix you will have Clara's voice
for a little over $100. You will be compared to or
will be even better
than a finely tuned RCA, yes that Hoffman
instrument. My hope is to be able to share practical information in bite size amounts
from my feeble aging mind as we go forward. When you
listen to what the digital people are doing, something
about the theremin is sadly being lost.
