the Electro-Faustus EF102 Photo Theremin

[nymetsrock]

would it be hard to drill for an input jack and footswitch 3pdt for this, cause that would be awesome, just wire up 3pdt same as mini toggle, and wire hot of input jack right into hot of output jack, right

[hydraIX]

Thanks for posting this review. I am considering buying the EF 102 and I wanted to hear someone play arounf with one first.

I do soundtrack/soundscape for live performance, so I am not always looking for a musical instrumet per say. This looks like a an inexpensive way to add somesound coloring to a bed of effected loops.

Not sure why people would get angry about this device, it literally costs one tenth of an actual theremin (yes you can build one for much cheaper) and it looks fun.

cheers

@barfumer

Thank you for your deep and insightful and thought provoking comment.

It warms the cockles of my heart knowing that you took the time to post.

[diablo22900]

[gigowatts]

[aintellengreat]

I'm going to maplin tomorrow, i'll buy the parts. build one and put a video up before the new year..

[MPalazzo90]

hey just wondering, the arpeggiator-esque sort of thing that goes on around the 4 minute mark...is that due to the delay as well as the synth? OR is it just the synth pedal?

[scottyevils]

whats this used for besides just to play with? im thinking on electro terms here....

[cuadradonecro]

[BradSpead7]

@cuadradonecro they sell for $60 new! i couldn't believe my eyes when i saw it on their website

[MrT1ki]

the electric eye thing is called a 'photocell'.

[nevets68]

As you can tell i'm not well versed on all those technical terms.

Heck up until a year ago I was calling movies..."flickers". :D

I kid i kid ... heh.

[godsizedhole]

Movies? Oh, you mean "talkies" or "picture shows"

[hsifylleg]

I got the EF101 last week and havn't really had much of a chance to play with it unfortunately, this one looks like another winner though - I'm definitely going to get one. A cool trick with this I can think of would be to drive a strong LED from some other audio input :-)
