Sound Files

Here are some of my theremins' sounds. The "File Format" column in the table indicates the encoding method, "PCM" (Pulse Code Modulation), or "MP3" for the more recent files. These files convey reasonable fidelity while preserving download time and memory space. The full effect of these instruments' timbres, however, can not be appreciated without connecting them directly to high fidelity equipment with full frequency-range speakers.
