Theremin Circuit Voicing
Design and build analog theremin circuits from scratch, tuning the beat-frequency oscillators and hand-capacitance antennas for specific tonal characteristics. Combines the coil-winding and oscillator theory from guitar pickups and ham radio with ear training to voice each instrument, using the oscilloscope to visualize the heterodyne frequencies and 3D-printed enclosures for the final build.
