    I just downloaded it and tried it on FC1/Planet CCRMA and it works
fine.  The only criticism I have is that the bands are a bit too
coarse.  If you move the cursor with any speed in the vertical direction
it loses the nice smooth transition and you hear each discrete band
change.  Pretty cool though ;-)  I had seen an announcement for a
theremin type app when I was on the run from Katrina but I lost the
emails (stupid web mail interface).
