During his workshops Andrey Asimov sells them, it doesn't seem as if he sells them through the website though. Maybe just contact him via email, he is a very nice guy. The Pd libraries are, just as Pd, platform independent. The MAX/MSP stuff is Mac only. Theremin sensors are quite sensitive to distubance (e.g. ground loops) so it can be a little fiddly to set everything up. I recomment one of the workshops (if there is one in the area...), though given some interest and patience it should be feasible without. best, d _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
