A demonstration of Michael Una's Beep-it optical theremin synthesizer, which outputs a square wave whose pitch is variable in relation to the amount of light striking a photocell mounted within the device.

    Wonderful!

    The question now is... do I buy two?

    Is there a way to lock the switch in the ON position, so that it can be operated one-handed?

    Hi. This is really cool. You mention in your video offering instructions on how to make these. I am an electronics student and would love to use this for a project. Thanks!
