Description: Hey Musician and Audio Fanboy! Need a pause from playing Room Escape games like VR: Vacate the Room? Ever wanted to try the Theremin without paying hundreds of Dollars? Now you can! Get VRemin – the Virtual Theremin. Enter the (virtual) stage and play this old instrument with 4 Oscillators to chose from. You could also be part of a band made of virtual instruments.
Review: In case you don’t know a Theremin is an electronic musical instrument controlled without physical contact by the thereminist. It is named after its inventor, Léon Theremin, who patented the device in 1928. Oh, and they cost a few hundred pounds to buy, so suddenly that £0.99 seems pretty cheap. And yes, this interactive experience is little more than a virtual Theremin! As the thereminist, you can play around and compose with your virtual musical instrument, but that is just about it. There is no song recording, no backup tracks, nothing. Someone out there will have a use for this. That person was not me.
