"This is a 100% handmade optical theremin GEM by Magic Echo Music. It is a single square wave oscillator/tone generator, and you control the pitch of the tone by manipulating the intensity, brightness, and movement of light... You can hook up the GEM to external filters and pedals, through the 1/4" mono output jack, and there is also an additional CV input. If you have analog synths with a CV output, you can also modulate the GEM oscillator with your equipment. There is also an additional Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) and Frequency knob which you can use to modulate the oscillator--You will get rapid tremolo effects to a very slow sequence of pulses. This feature sounds great when you hook up the GEM to a delay pedal!This auction is for the BLUE colored GEM, most closely in appearance to the blue gem on the website. The wooden sides are maple and walnut hardwoods. Each optical theremin is uniquely handmade, and there have only been 20 produced and distributed at a DIY music-art event in San Francisco."
