Clanger - free software theremin for the Pocket PC - Submitted by Jason, 10/12/2005
I'm addicted to Clanger! It's a free software theremin for the Pocket PC by the great and creative folks at Silicon Machines. Clanger offers adjustable delay and tremolo effects, as well as excellent sound. You can tweak it to determine the range of pitches it will produce, making it easier to play various songs. Highly recommended.
Control Voltage to MIDI converter for MC68HC11 - Submitted by Jason, 3/1/2005
If you're a hardware hacker as well, this file might interest you. It's a set of assembly subroutines for the Motorola MC68HC11 chip to allow you to convert control voltages to MIDI signals. It uses the chip's built-in serial port and A/D converted, so a black box version of this project should be fairly cheap/easy to make. I believe this came from the Troika Ranch web site. The usual disclaimer applies - I do not support this software, but I may be able to steer you in the right direction if you have technical questions.

Midiglove - Submitted by Jason, 3/1/2005
MidiGlove is a program which lets you play a MIDI instrument with a Mattel Powerglove connected to a PC. Make a fist to play a note, move left and right to control pitch, in and out to control volume. Up and down controls pitch bends. I've tried this and it works very well. Not quite a theremin, but along the same lines.
