For those who don't recognize the name: Linus Åkesson (lft) is the one who made "Nine", that C64 demo with the wizard and nine sprites that was popular a few months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42940553).

This is super cool! I would love to see the specific mapping of keys that were used which were said to be inspired by the accordion. Even though that's a way less interesting detail than the way that the spoon picks up the distances and the "bit banging" used to achieve 8-bit precision on the modulation from two 4-bit connections.
Sounds pretty swell!
I wonder if the spoon controller could be adapted to send modulation parameters to arbitrary instruments via a midi port. I would buy a spoon modulator if it was reasonably priced. It would be a great add-on to a piano style keyboard without pitch bend or mod wheel etc
Very nice! I've played around with the (Arduino-based) OpenTheremin and it is indeed very hard to hit pitches consistently, even with a good ear and steady hand. I wonder if you could add another control dimension to get pitch bending too...

I don't know for sure, but I'd bet that it is similar to Qwertuoso: https://www.linusakesson.net/software/qwertuoso/underworld.p...
