Hands Off My Theremini!

If you can play an air guitar, you can play a Theremini. The core values of this instrument are still the same as a traditional theremin -- moving your hands beside two metal rod antennas allows you to use gestures to control pitch, vibrato, and volume, without actually touching the instrument. But if you do touch the rods, you will receive a debilitating shock of electricity straight to the ends of your hair. Just kidding.

Theremin for Beginners

Move your left hand beside the loop-like left antenna to control amplitude, and move your right hand beside the right antenna -- the one that looks like a vertical pole -- to control pitch. With some practice, your hands will adapt their own fingering guide and you will be able to "feel" the notes in the air. Moog's Theremini gives musicians a different way to express themselves through sound.

Variegated Tones -- Just Like a Moog Synth

read more The Theremini's powerful sound engine, derived from Moog's Animoog synthesizer, provides a range of professional sounds to play. Its comprehensive preset section includes 32 wave or wavetable-based patches to select or store; you can store a selected scale and root note, set and recall a specified playing range, and specify per-patch settings for the included stereo delay.

The E-Musician's Way to Right a Wrong Note

So do you like it easy or hard? Using assistive pitch quantization, you can adjust the instrument's level of playing difficulty to suit the music at hand. If you are primarily concerned with executing notes perfectly, then quantize pitches to the max, and the Theremini will make sure every note in a selected scale is played perfectly. No wrong notes here. If you desire a less rigid sound and you're ready to dabble in vibrato and other expressive techniques, decrease the amount of quantization and play the instrument like a traditional theremin, with no playing assistance whatsoever.

Learn about pitch, scales, and how your playing relates to each by taking a visual cue from the built-in tuner. Real-time visual feedback shows you how in or out of tune you are, so you know when you're close to hitting it right on.

Play for Yourself or for a Crowd

The Moog Theremini's built-in speaker allows you to perform live on the fly, and a front-panel headphone jack makes it easy to practice quietly. Plugging in ear buds or headphones automatically silences the top-panel speaker.

Control your performances and gestural controls alike with rear-panel line level audio outputs, a pitch CV output with selectable range for controlling other synths, and a mini USB jack for MIDI I/O and connectivity to other gear.

"Real cool theremin for beginners"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
The Theremini is NOT a true theremin, it's a digital representation of a theremin. This is actually WAY better for beginners:1) You have the option to set it to the key/scale you want to "Auto-tune" the instrument. Real theremins require a LOT of practice to get a passable melody. I was riffing with this thing in a couple hours.2) There are extra tone options, so you aren't stuck with the classic 50's "sci-fi" sound.3) 1/8" inch Headphone Jack so you don't annoy roommates/neighbors.4) Once you get good, you can wean yourself off the "Autotune" (which you can blend out with a dial, not an on/off switch)5) It has a built in speaker and a line out for home or gigging.6) It looks like a cool space egg, and is an AMAZING conversation piece.
