Using Pitch-Bend without trigger: It is not necessary to trigger a note via
the Theremin, when using pitch-bend. Just use the pitch-bend mode in
conjunction with a keyboard and play chords, scales, etc on the keyboard
itself and use the Theremin as a high resolution pitch-bend 'lever' . This
opens up an amazing new way of playing the keyboard "as a Theremin". If
you are able to adjust the pitch-bend "range" on your KB, sampler etc. to
span several octaves, you would be able to bend several octaves of pitch
with the Theremin, whilest controlling the "root" note/chord and rhythm via
the KB. Very nice !
A number of different pitch-bend modes are possible:
o theremin mode: rest at the lowest position and go all the way up
o down only:
o full bend:
o up only:
To setup different pitch-bend modes, you need to go to the

(the volume position). The status light will flash fast. Push the trigger
button to enter the selected mode. The status light will stop flashing.

'Theremin-mode' with parameter P2 set to zero. When P2 is set to 10
o'clock, it is 'down only' , 12 o'clock is full bend and 3 o'clock is up only.
Of course you need to enable pitch-bend mode first ...
