I like it Florian!!! A nice image!! Not quite the same as my Theremin idea - speed of hand generating a VC ie a VC based on the rate that the Theremin's VC output changes.

I also already thought about a feature, that David asked for (I even
think I asked Dieter for it a long time ago). So it was not new to me.

Let me explain it with an Example:

Imagine Keith Emerson goes skating, falls over his own feet (he is
better in playing minimoog than in skating) and he breaks his left hand.
Right hand for the minimoog solo, but no hand to crank the filter up,
the wilder he is playing. Damn!
Here comes David with his idea into the game: he provides a control
voltage that becomes the higher, the more notes Mr Emerson plays
(something, Mr Emerson really likes to do); and will become lower as
soon as Mr Emerson will play less notes (ok, I am not sure whether this
will happen, but it won't be Davids fault).

The idea is: have a voltage that carries the amount of musical expression.
