What do ya'll think? Does it count as art? Huh? Huh? Does it? Huh? Does it?
So this is the schematic of musical instrument that I designed and made quite a while ago. I call it a Tannerin, or a slide-theremin. Basically, it has a slide to control pitch, and seven selectable tones, but I only have five programed into it right now, and the PITA (that's pain-in-the-a**) factor to program it is rather high. Also, what's real trick about mine is that it is a digital/analog hybrid! The tone is digital and has to be programmed in in 8-bit binary, but the control is analog. The only songs that a Tannerin (not mine, of course!) was ever used for are "Good Vibrations" and "Wild Honey" by the Beach Boys. Yay Beach Boys!
NOTE OF DOOM: I am not an engineer! I do electronic stuff for the fun of it! Also, I specialize mostly in vintage technology, so using Eeprom and whatnot was a little
out of the ordinary for me, but that doesn't mean I still play wit zem!

It's a crude way of turning the 555 into a VCO. It actually works pretty well. The MOSFET was also supposed to account for the non-linear frequency control of the 555, and it helped quite a bit.
This schematic is a little dated and I've played with the design a little bit, but the concept is still the same.

Interesting design!
I like how you mixed the AT28 in there 83
tho for the VCO part you might also use an inverter, wich only requires an capacitor and a resistor to work (in wich the resistor is your slide control). But since this is hobby material part count and such are quite non important hahah x3

I once had a conversation with my friend Paul about rendering electronic schematics artistically, drawing out every resistor, valve, wire and relay. Most of our fellow students in our basic electronics class agreed that it just would take too long. Anyway, I started out as a draftsman, drawing a lot of plans and electronic schematics, but I graduated to model building. Thus I tend to think that there's some artistic talent needed for industrial drawing. The best drawings are the ones that are clean, well laid out and precise. It's also gotta look "Pretty."
