Here’s one that just came up. Somebody mentioned maybe turning the sensors more facing each other, so their fields crossed, I assume. Does anybody know why this isn’t done? Seems to me having sort of a virtual joystick, which could even be, say, the bell of my horn? They always do it with two sensors and two hands apart, and it seems kind of intuitive to do it with one moving point instead of 2. Don’t know how practical that is, which is why I’m asking you. Would they interfere with each other? All kinds of questions come to mind. But historically Theremin players have always used two hands separately and I just wondered why. Any ideas, pls let me know.
