As my title suggests, is there a way to record a theremin to midi. I don't own one yet but wouldn't mind getting one in the near future. I'm also wondering if you can't is there a theremin plugin for logic.

I know, I know! Old Frankenstein or Alfred Hitchhock comes to mind. Maybe this would be useful if you could MIDI it somehow. It seems really limited but since we come from the generations that invented all this, and did it all, already, this is probably looking like a cool new thing that could be added as an effect to make some pop song loop a hit.

Maybe the next autotune craze lol. Sample a voice and start rapping with it. Shake you hand as fast as you can.

Doesn't the pitch blend do that though?

Actually, the one pop hit that does come to mind is the Beach Boy's "Good Vibrations". Aside from that, the only theremin music I can imagine is either "The Day the Earth Stood Still", "Plan 9 from Outer Space" or some of the hundreds of other poor sci-fi flicks I watched as a kid. I should say that "The Day the Earth Stood Still" was actually pretty good for its day. Oh yeah, and another classic was. "The Thing".

Not to get off topic, but many people don't realize that the great composer, Henry Mancini, got his big break writing the soundtrack to "The Creature from the Black Lagoon".

Here is more info on midi for it: The world’s first MIDI theremin: The Ethervox. ( the tuning may kill you) but the keys are great when she kick into upright bass.
