Without looking at the videos this sounds like a theremin. I'm pretty sure you can get them now to work with midi, etc so he could just be using it as a controller to control another effect. There are also quite a few synths which have them.

God those things have been around since, well ages.. we used them on the discos 10+ years ago

D.G is a very comercial DJ, he was on one of my video discs recently. Couldn't bare to watch!! Cheese master
 
sounds like a "therimin" (if thts how to spell it!!)
Bill Bayley the british musical comedian uses one with great effect, they look like they could be usefull for nice wobbly alien sounds...

thanks everyone...

i am not sure if it is the same thing...found another video where he keeps using it...

thanks...
 
I used to have a thing called a Dual D-Beam Controller on my Sp808
That would recognize hand movements above the device and it tied in directly to the onboard effects.
They should make one of these available as a midi controller.
I used to have so much fun doing stuff with my hands that directly affected the FX.
The biggest problem was it was a big thing and difficult to take out live and I always wanted a smaller version.
It took a while to master but when u got it down you could do some cool things and it looked quite impressive.
Its a total novelty but something different from the norm.
 
alesis has two similar devices... watched their youtube videos and stuff. looks cool. BUT they are discontinued. do you guys now any other alternative/similar device or where can i find these alesis ones? thanks...
 
the other one is called AirFX and it is more likely to be what i am looking for. AirSynth is more of an effects sampler. (doesnt work with the music signal but generates its own signal) whereas AirFX plays with your signal. There is a device by Korg - Mini KP - it is good as it combines these too but it is touch sensored.

Any others you know/found? If not, any ideas where I can find AirFX?
 
Its the ALESIS AIRSYNTH.you need a synth ocillators and "white noise" to make the wind sound,also good for techno LAZERS.the AIRFX might do it depending what type of sound you feed it.BUT a theremin plays a single wave sound resembling more like a Radio frequency Im afraid..
 
Where do I find a AirFX though? That is the problem... =(( Annoying!
 
TRY EBAY.COM allways good stuff there that you wont find at the local store.Originaly @ $149 for the AIr or the Synth,they went down to $99 so you might find one for a lot less.
 
So overpriced... =(( Did anyone try Korg Mini KP? Is that any good?
