Question on the problems of timbre formation of the theremin sound

Dreadvox,

Tanner found my website after his first vacuum tube theremin build had sound that was full of noise. I explained to him why he was having trouble by not having a good earth ground. He pounded in a metal rod outside and ran a wire through the window. Earth ground seems to be the stumbling block of many. Tanner living near me is one of the many theremin mysteries of my journey as well as my friend Paul Tanner who never got the theremin recognition he deserved, that is where my journey begins.

Here is a combination of my two theremin friends, let us never forget.  "God Only Knows"

It was fun to revisit my old stuff. Time to wrap it up as I have a date with destiny.

What I have been talking about is the Theremin Phenomenon which is simply a beautiful sound from nature (heterodyning) that we control the wave shape and volume.

When someone says they do not hear the theremin difference grounded or ungrounded it is possible there is something about their hearing that does not allow them to hear it, maybe too many rock concerts standing by the big speakers.

Our friend Peter Pringle had a nice sound that he got using the Millennia STT-1 with Over 130 Combinations of Fully Discrete Signal Paths Containing Compression, De-Esseing, and Parametric Equalization Sections

With $5 in electronic parts my theremin design had many voices.

Demonstration of my simple, modest experience with the timbre of changing the mode of the base of the transistor, in the mixer cascade, or in the cascade coming after the theremin oscillators mixer.
(the results are modest, but with subsequent transformations, perhaps useful)
