Swiss company WaveLicker (http://www.wavelicker.com) designed Thereminator specially for interfacing a theremin to synthesizers.  It is a eurorack module that takes the control voltage signal of the theremin’s antennas and convert it into 3 gate and 3 trigger signals. Up to three different tresholds points can be edited and stored.  This is great, because you can adjust the distance (= where in space the trig happens) without changing your theremin playing settings.

You can patch it with the pitch or with the volume antenna CV. In this video, i used the volume antenna only  because i find it easier to get a musical application with it.

Alain Gillièron - the boss of WaveLicker - created Thereminator on my request. He made an external gate for my theremin about a year ago. It boosted my creativity and totally changed my solo theremin performance : i am not using any playback nor computer device on stage anymore.  I can play synth and my theremin simulteanously.
So, we decided to improve this device and develop…

Musician Imogen Heap invited Dezeen to her home-studio to film this exclusive demonstration of her Mi.Mu gesture-control gloves, which allow her to control instruments and computers on stage by using hand gestures.

"For the first time I get to see how somebody else uses the gloves," Heap told us. "The minute somebody puts their hands in them, they're starting to think creatively about them. I'm really happy that you're going to see what they're up to."
