Drone

This is a fun setup for modal

jams or morning ragas – it

uses just the sound of the

VCO set to one frequency,

tuned to the key that you’re

playing in. If you’re in A,

just tune the VCO to A with

the Freq control. The drone

sound can be fattened up if

detuned a little bit from a

bass note in the key. Setting

the Mix control is important

for a nice balance between

the instrument sound and

the VCO sound.

Foot Theremin

This is basically the same

as the previous setup with

the addition of an expression

pedal to control the VCO

frequency. It’s difficult to

control the frequency of

the VCO precisely with an

expression pedal, but quite

fun to attempt. Try playing

staccato for synth-like bleeps

and bloops, or play sustained

tones with wild expression

pedal movements for instant

psychedelic freakout sounds

a la the "Whole Lotta Love"

breakdown (just add a little

echo).
