I guess I tried to play Thermin a long time ago for less than a minute ;). How long does it take to learn how to play it in a usable manner? Unfortunately playing a Thermin has got a learning curve, while playing the Animoog via touch screen is easy to do and does sound almost the same as a Thermine. However, I like all kinds of synthesizer keyboard replacements that could add some extra touch to the playing, that can't be done by a keyboard. Unfortunately I'm not aware of Thermin antennas, guitar synth and even something comparable to the Animoog touch screen thingy, that is able to provide the data by MIDI out. The Animoog as well as the Roland GR-55 guitar synth provide MIDI out, but the MIDI data does not provide what you get while playing the Animoog with a finger or when using the Roland GR-55's onboard synth.
