“Ther-was?” I wondered, when I announcement of “V-Theremin” had read. RTS on termite mound? Schedule appointments on the Vectrex? Quite cold and wrong I was with my conjectures.

The Theremin is an electronic musical instrument, the 1919 was invented by the Russians Lew Termen. The Special and Unusual is, that is played there without any contact. Robert Moog, which is by its analog synthesizer musicians known worldwide, had Thermine built and played. The Thermine are real exotic and rarely found, but still being built and played sporadically. How looks a real theremin and sounds, it looks beautiful in the video:

Vectrexentwickler Chris Malcom, its Hex and Nagoya Attack presented here, brings V-theremin theremin on the Vectrex. Non-contact it is not, however, to, for therefore a special controller would be required. But the basic idea has retained Chris: Pitch and volume are controlled either by one or two joysticks. So you can now play the eclectic sound of the theremin with the Vectrex. Well, little more reverb and a little less hum it would perhaps be even. And play with his hands in the air has something.

If you want to start playing the same V-Theremin, to load the ROM of V-Theremin by VecFlash or VecMulti the Vectrex. ParaJVE going to try even, then use here by double in the ParaJVE window the mouse as an analog joystick.

A big thank you to Chris for the great idea! I'm curious, When the first played with V-Theremin songs show up on Youtube…

addendum:
Who is fascinated by the special union of play and the sound of the theremin, might also want the Crowdfunding project of Carolina and Christopher support; some fans are still being sought for the start.
