Pogo/Madonna Wayne Gacy of Marilyn Manson has used one of those before in some of their older songs...

Optical sensors... they are in a lot of machines now adays... the origional one was the theremin... evented a loooooooooooong time ago. Funny that no one has really used them untill the 70's and then on....... with the exception of a handfull of people. here are some recent produts that use this technology..

2 (roland likes to call it their D-Beam... which is really funny because this has been aroud since the 40's, greedy bastards...)

hahaha.. no.... classic rock people used it way more.. and your post was number 666 too
I am saying...popular in the sense that you dont hear it on effects left in right people in the classic rock period used it WAY more then people ever did before... and today especially now with electronic music being as it is.....

Shit, you know, a theremin would make a pretty crazy midi trigger... all you need is some pitch recognition like they used on the roland synth guitars.
Then instead of a simple sine wave sound you could be controlling DX7s and Nords and shit.

it ws used in popular culture ie top hits and film scors - more thasn really obscure bands that use it now - it's used as a tool to give the effect of those old tracks now so it's lost it's meaning .
exacltly what 70's rock bands are you talking about? taking into asccount that more people listened to varese thansome obscure acid band.. but i don't think you know what you are talking aboutas you haven't nameed a single band..
the best modern use of it was a japanese noise artist who peggied it about the stage screaming with several of em creating a massive forcefield of noise - wicked

"but i don't think you know what you are talking aboutas you haven't nameed a single band.."
Edgar Winter - Frankenstien, for a good example, who pioneered the use of effects such as the theremin in rock music..... if you listen you could tell its all over... :*P
And
I know it was used before alot pre 70's era, but not as much as people use it today, especially if your considering how many people use it in the electronic music now..... aside from the noise artists. Its all over modern music today... NIN, Marilyn Manson, KMFDM, speedranch (making orange things), Meat Beat Manifesto, Eserdenubeten (cant spell it :*(..) Ramstien (keyboardist flake)...especially with all that (mostly crap) trance now adays....
"it's used as a tool to give the effect of those old tracks now so it's
lost it's meaning"
Actually, last time I check, its used more as a fequency resonance filter device (simple effects processor)...
I have had enough of this arguement...
*goes out for a drink*
