Plasma Synth Controller

Translation in Googlish:
"Following my neon oscillator, thus generating sound through discharge.
I picked up next DIY project.

This is the synth plasma disk controller.

So I want this, or a synthesized control [filter or OSC control or input] Or will generate sounds like my neon oscillator.

Now the plan is still in the early stages, but measurements in the print and have been going around.

Now I know that the cathode? a very high voltage to slow down. So thereafter, but not measured, for damage to my meters

I have noticed that, without the glass plate to touch, if a field / stray voltage from 10 to 50 volts AC. See multimeter and duspol If I get the negative of the multimeter to earth and lay down and hold my hand, and with my other hand / finger plasma disk .. touch the multimeter 50 to 200 volts AC.

The voltage varies from bottom to top 50 volts disk drive 200 volts. The high voltages are innocent by the very low power. But ... this is my fun things to do.

Maybe I should have the edge on a metal disk or aluminum tape and affixing them to the ground / earth to make it an effect. I think that with only the finger on the plate is not enough power is generated.

Now I do not know whether you with these low ampere tensions also can control other electronics. Soon another opampje try."
Update: a little more info from Hilltree directly: "It generates an output voltage 0-10volts / 0-15 volts when put a finger on it. at the lower end...the lower voltages and the upper end the higher voltages. See it as an spacey kaosspad with spectacular lightshow ;) With the output voltages , you can control a synth / modular /pitch /whatever piece of gear that this voltages accepted."
