Wii Theremin









With a little hacking, this Wii controller was used to manipulate a keyboard, making it sound very much like a theremin. And, what better way to show it off than to play the Star Trek theme?

Not sure if I submitted this a while back, there's a good bit of stuff you can do with these Wii malarkies.

Doesn't really seem to match the music, but it does match the rotary encoder dead on.

It seems like the music is off, but that could be a delay effect from crappy hookup.

I was expecting it to be cooler or like a real theremin.

It's the start I like.

"Oh, hey, I know we're making this video but I am still surprised."

The end (as in the very end) isn't too bad if you like kinda glitchy stuff.

You know this video is real because no one would bother to fake such a lame video.

If you look at the keyboard, on the back in the upper part where there are knobs, a little light goes around in sync with the Wiimote. I don't know much about keyboards though so it could still be fake.

I dont think it is fake. You can see him overcompensate for pitch when he swings it too far and then self correct much like beginner violin students do until their muscle memory learns to intone. Thats "feels" like how the learning curve of something like that would go at first.

He's just replacing the output from a midi controller or such with the output from the Wii receiver, nowt fake about it (see other video for more).

Not fake. Not a spectacularly accurate performance, but not fake. Interesting use of technology.

funny stuff.

of course the whole point of the star trek theme is that it isn't done with theremin. It's thereminesque stuff done with voice. It ages a little bit better that way.

The sound lags pretty much when he plays it with that Wiimote.

Make sure you're not in any kind of altered state of mind before watching this video, because you may never return.

With enough Blair Witch camera work, even a frog can be kind of frightening. My money is still on Attack Turtle in the deathmatch, though.
