See <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy9UBjrUjwo" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy9UBjrUjwo</a> for a very good demonstration. Perhaps this controller could be adapted to such use.<br>

<br>That, and you could "start" it like it were a chainsaw or lawnmower; that would certainly get rid off the slightly dusty image of the Martinot!<br><br>Sorry, I can't resist trying to share my enthusiasm for such concepts.<br>
