I just found a new Coolest iPod Application. Theramin-ator. A multitouch theramin. On my iPod. Fracking awesome. I just spent the last half an hour playing with it, and it’s pretty sweet. Especially once you start getting the hang of the multi-touch controls. You drag a finger (or fingers) around on the “control pad” to simulate moving through the theramin’s fields. Horizontal axis is frequency, vertical is volume. Frequency ranges from a skull-rattling 40Hz to a brain-melting 2000Hz. Volume goes to 11, natch. And you can tweak the properties of the theramin while playing – pitch range, waveform, etc… Very cool.
It’s probably a good thing that it doesn’t record the sounds because I’d have to start an @dnorman Theramin Music Hour Podcast, full of wacky Star Trek theme music and transporter sound effects…
ps. yeah. I get how lame I am for playing with a theramin simulator for half an hour on a friday evening, then blogging about it…

I have this app too – wicked fun. This along with Bloom and RJDj would make for some whacky spacejams.
sweet! hope it didn’t cause that skull fracture at the children’s hospital
stop it. stop it now. my jealousy can’t take it. I may have to jack you for your itouch. I MUST HAVE ONE, NOW!
@scott – I figured you’d get a kick out of the theramin
(it IS pretty sweet, though…)
