Hi there

I managed to make a pretty realistic theremin using cSound, you can hear on:

www.myspace.com/josephsanger

I eventually found, after a lot of googling, that it's basically a half
sine wave, so it's as if the bottom part of the sine (below zero) is
reflected back upwards again. It would be SO much easier to explain with
a picture...

Here's the ftable I used:

f1 0 65536 19 .5 1 0 0

Hope this helps

Joe
