The theremin creates music and sound at a distance, without touch. Moving your hand towards the right antenna plays higher pitched notes and moving towards the left antenna decreases volume. Unlike other theremin DIY kits, the MicroKits theramin instrument has both volume and pitch antennas. It also automatically calibrates to almost any environment, making it easy to start playing. Building with MicroKits No tools are needed to build MicroKits. Simply place parts in the breadboard to make electrical connections. Because this is not a soldering kit, you can start building circuits right away without first having to learn soldering. The included step by step instructions clearly show where each part goes, with breaks to check your work and learn more about how the circuit you are building works. Start your journey from beginner to inventor with MicroKits! MicroKits is designed for beginners of any age 10+. MicroKits are great as kids building projects or kids science experiments, as science kits for teens, and as engineering kits or electronic kits for adults. What's in the box? Everything you need to build your science kit is included in the box. Yes, including batteries! Each kit includes Micro the microprocessor chip, Tick the timer chip, a speaker, a green LED, two capacitors, 3 resistors, two long copper antennas, a breadboard, a battery holder, 3 AA batteries, 22 page full color instructions, and all the wires you need to connect parts together. Review: I got this for my sibling for their 39th birthday. We are both in our 30s, both with some technical/engineering backgrounds, and both softies for cute things. This kit delivers on all fronts! The directions are incredibly clear, informative, and adorable! The kit itself is easy to navigate, had all the components plus extras, and seemed very well-made. The process of making the instrument was easy to follow, included milestones where we would test it to ensure it was working, and was fun! It took about 20 minutes to build, but could be done faster if you're reading from the initial diagrams. It works! If I were to have any qualms about it, it is that the range where the pitches change is relatively small - but that is to be expected for an instrument of this size. You can fit 2 octaves in about 4 inches on a violin and it is no different here, it just requires more practice and attention to detail if you're planning on playing any specific melodies. As far as a sound-effects device though, it is *very* fun, very sci-fi, and quite expressive! It is also fairly loud, the volume control antenna works well, and it is just a blast to experiment with! We had a great time with Micro and Tick and highly recommend this to nerds, geeks, and everyone else looking to have a bit of noisy fun! Great job, Dave! Review: Funciona muy bien para el tipo de dispositivo que es, es decir, es obvio que no es lo mismo que comprar un Theremin profesional, pero este te permite conocer el instrumento de manera sencilla, yo se lo regalé a mi hijo y le encantó ensamblarlo, lo recomiendo como método para acercarse al tipo de instrumento e incluso para relacionarse un poco con la electrónica. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08BJGSYSN | | Assembly Required | No | | Batteries | 3 AA batteries required.

Or would it be easy enough to make one from an old cable and connect it somehow to this for audio out?** A: There is an included speaker but no included audio out jack. However, some of our customers have connected their theremin to an external amp or synthesizer. You can cut up an old cable or buy on audio plug to bare wire cable. Then, you could connect the negative (black) wire to ground and the other wire to point 16B on the breadboard, the output of the amplifying transistor. This modification isn't officially supported, and you may need to use a preamp or series bypass capacitor to get it working how you want. But it's possible with a bit of tinkering. **Q: How many octaves does it cover? Can the pitch be changed to higher or lower range** A: It can go from C4 to C6 (Two Octaves), and there's not a built in way to change octave range. **Q: Can it be taken apart and put back together? Would like to use it with more than one class/studebt.** A: Yes, very easy to take it all apart and repeat the process. Be careful of bending the wires too often because the metal will eventually break. Just be aware and you should be fine. **Q: Can I use a 5v usb cable to power if i add a resistor to the led?** A: Creator of the circuit here. I wouldn't recommend externally powering this theremin, because the separate power line would add more capacitance to the circuit. External power would be like having another object near the antenna, which would hurt the sensitivity of the system. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by E***. on 5 January 2023* I got this for my sibling for their 39th birthday.

My 10 year old granddaughter, with no previous electrical experience now understands how to use a breadboard, what transistors, integrated circuits, resistors, light emitting diodes, and capacitors look like, and knows how to read the color code on a resistor. The wires are all stripped and bent to the correct size so the focus stays on understanding the concepts rather than losing interest struggling with the mechanical connections. And the instruction booklet is laid out well, from the accurate pictures of each component, the overview of the project broken into 4 stages with a diagram of each completed stage, to the bits of theory on each page of the excellent instructions and pictures. The circuit tests at the end of each stage gave a confidence and desire to move to the next step. And the Theremin worked as advertised. Everybody had to try it. In case you can't tell, I was impressed with this kit. I immediately wanted to see what other kits this outfit produces. ## Frequently Bought Together - MicroKits Theremin Electronics Kit | Educational Electronic Music STEAM/STEM Kits for Kids or Grown Ups | No Tools Needed Easy to Build Breadboard Kit - Synth-a-Sette: The Original Cassette Sized Analog Synthesizer.
