How to Use
1. Click on the browser window or press Tab to activate the theremin 2. Move your mouse cursor around the screen to control the sound: • Horizontal movement changes pitch (left = lower, right = higher) • Vertical movement changes volume (top = louder, bottom = quieter) 3. Alternatively, use arrow keys to control the theremin: • Left/Right arrows adjust pitch • Up/Down arrows adjust volume 4. Visual feedback appears on the canvas as you create sounds 5. Use the "Mute" button to silence the theremin without stopping visual effects 6. Click "Clear screen" to erase any visual elements from the canvas The goal is to create electronic music by moving around the interface, mimicking how a real theremin works through proximity rather than physical contact.
