does anyone know how I can make a theremin with wiimote and GlovePIE that will trasition smoothlly from one frequency to the next?

using GlovePIE and midi seems to result in noticeable steps as the frequency change...perhaps I'm doing somthign worng....

depends on how you want it to work.
You basically need something that plays a note when the wiimote is in a certain range with two controllers to control the pitch and volume (vibrato)
This way uses roll and pitch but you should be able to do something similar using the forces

use the roll to simulate the distance from the antenna and assign this to a volume control. you could then use a threshold on roll which turns on the note when roll is over a certain number and increases the volume as you continue to roll until it's at full volume.

you could work out which note to start playing by where wiimote.pitch is
and start playing that note, then assign wiimote.pitch to a pitchbend or pitch control on your synth to change the frequency up and down.

Am working on a full 96 key range script at the moment but will be incorperating pitch bends as well so will post when it finished

mmm, so it isn't just mapping the value tot a note.... how would I do that complex way you decribed then?

I'm guessing you've been trying to use something like this if you're getting jumps

I pasted that on GlovePIE and ran it, but no matter how I position the Wiimote I hear the same note beign played...coudl that have soemthing to do with me using KX driver? (http://kxproject.lugosoft.com)

How are you mapping the controllers? If you use auto map you probably need to comment out 1 controller while you're mapping the other so the automap doesn't get confused.

What software are you using: ableton, cubase, protools?

Also have you tried using the mysteron vsti? It should give you a pretty nice sound no matter which method you use

KX Driver shouldn't make a difference but check your midi settings in the program you use. The midi yoke port should be able to accept track and remote commands

I was hoping to have it done with just glovepie, just have GlovePIE send the commands to the windows midi thing and heaqr it comming from the speakers
