The distance range is about 30-40 cm. Additionally the module is equipped with a Gate output with adjustable threshold level. Controls\/Inputs\/Outputs: antenna input, offset (knob for zero adjust), 2 x CV out, 2 x LED (for CV control positive\/negative and zero offset adjust)\u003cbr\u003eTo simulate the original Theremin two A-178, a VCO (e.g. A-110) and a linear VCA (e.g. A-130 or A-132) are required. But of course the A-178 can be used to control other functions in the A-100 (e.g. filter frequency, modulation depth and\/or speed, tempo, attack\/decay time and so on).\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003cspan class=\"492123115-11012008\"\u003eCV output voltage of the A-178 can range - according to the setting of the front panel controls - from -10V...+10V.

Antenna and hand form a variable capacitor with a very small capacity in the pico Farad range. The electronics of the module is puzzled out just for this capacity range. If a cable is added or the antenna is replaced by another element the capacity range changes totally and the module will no longer work ! But it's possible to mount the complete module with antenna at the desired position, e.g. into a small case that holds one or two of the modules. It's also possible to use a longer bus cable to connect the module to the A-100 bus. If you are not ab\u003c\/span\u003ele to manufacture such a cable yourself we may offer a suitable cable upon request.
