Elysian Theremin (Jake Rothman)

Here's a quick video I just uploaded to YouTube on the Elysian Theremin if anyone's curious to hear what they sound like. :-)

Thanks!  I applaud the reversed volume sense, as well as the open source nature of the Elysian!  And not to rag on it or anything, but the clearly slow volume response you demonstrated would be highly problematic for most players.

Great sound!
Any schematic available?

I've got some pictures of the top and bottom of the PCB, as well as the owner's manual and some misc. schematics I believe are associated with it.  Can't remember where I found those.

The EPE article has a very nice discussion of the various volume control methods.

[EDIT] Jake Rothman (the Elysian designer) was a special guest on the Theremin30 podcast:

He also designed the Dubreq Stylophone.

Jake certainly overwhelmed the panel on Britian's Got Talent!
