electrosonic human interface

 

 

 

 

constructed in june 2001 - the electrosonic human interface is a touch sensitive transistor-based tone generator.

third prototype - this ehi incorporates two independent but interactive audio oscillators enabling parallel harmonic audio or a drone/melody relationship using a pitch lock on one of the oscillating circuits.

buttons and switches control pitch range, tone, sensitivity range, volume, amplified squelch interference, oscillator strength relationship, audio mutes, audio mutes while retaining oscillation interference and power.

pitch control is primarily achieved through human conductivity by touching both leads with different parts of the body.
the sound produced is an inferior version of a theremin , but still cool.
