The Theremini is a re-imagination of one of the oldest electronic musical instruments, and synthesis pioneer Bob Moog's first love: the theremin. Its design fuses the unique experience of playing an instrument you don’t actually touch. The Theremini guarantees immediate success to anyone at any skill level or physical ability, while also providing new ways to experiment with music, education, and gestural control.
The Theremini’s Pitch Correction system allows the Theremini to play the distinct notes and steps of a musical scale; 22 Scales are available, beginning on any of 12 Root notes. This Pitch Correction can be added in any amount, effectively changing the Theremini’s level of playing difficulty to match any performer’s skill.
The Theremini features a built-in speaker, plus a headphone jack for private rehearsal. Based on Moog’s award-winning Animoog synthesizer, the internal sound engine offers 32 presets, each providing a distinctly different tonality, or timbre. In addition, an onboard stereo effects section is provided, adding lush trails or spaciousness to the overall sound of your Theremini.

I AM ADDICTED ALREADY!!! My Theremini arrived in decent packaging with a double box. The primary product box has an easy quick set up single sheet, which made it super fast to set up and start making noise. I have read reviews complaining about this unit not holding calibration, so I will say that I did not have that issue at all. HOWEVER, this is a very sensitive instrument, so remember that large metal objects and even your own body can change the temperament of the various settings, which may mean that you will have to re-calibrate if you change the voice preset. The calibration is super easy to do though, so stay calm and respect the instrument.The theremin is VERY difficult to play, if you are looking to play something structured and musical. But it is also super EASY to play, if you want to experience a constant relationship between your body and sound. This requires one to be very aware of the body and to use intuitive movement to relate your body to sound. It is almost like using dance to inspire sound rather than using sound to inspire dance.Because there are so many presets to experiment with, it is possible to make beautiful improvisational sounds. The other part I love is the display shows you your pitch and allows you to change your root note as well as to set scales to things like "gypsy, spanish, arabian, egyptian" so that the scale has that preset feeling to it. The options are ENDLESS! I just LOVE this unit. And for the very good price point, this unit allows the new theremin student to experience classic theremin playing, as well as just have a great time with improvising sounds. THANK YOU MOOG!I do recommend the use of headphones for those who do to torture others living in the home. But also because when others in your home hear how interesting and fun the unit is to play with, they all want a turn!!! HAHAHA.

What more can I say? It’s a fun instrument, great, but perhaps not perfect, for learning the theremin thanks to its pitch control. Its synth voices are a lot of fun, the theremini editor software can add new voices, and it can be used as a MIDI controller or as a CV controller to control other synths or input into a DAW. Its otherworldly industrial design matches the otherworldly sound of the theremin. It’s likely the most accessible, most capable, most versatile, most affordable theremin out there. (There are likely some delays relative to an analog theremin, but, unless you want to become a concert thereminist or something, this is more than enough.) I first played with one of these a year or so after it came out (possibly the year it came out, not sure) and I knew I wanted one. Well, the time has arrived that I own one now, and I’d say I’m pretty satisfied.

I got the thermin bug by accident when I came across "those" videos...same as probably everyone else has watched many times. I chose the Theremini because I thought it would at least be a fun introduction to the theremin, and I could judge whether I would ever want a "real" theremin. I do really like the Theremini, and gave it five stars because it is good at what it does. I am hoping to use it in my writing and recording work eventually. I am a composer, mostly for harp, but have done a lot of piano, clarinet and Native American flute writing as well. I thought theremin with harp would be fantastic if I should actually learn to play.I realized right away that I needed to improve the "theremin" sound. I toyed with the idea of buying an amp, but instead hooked it up to my audio interface (to my studio computer) so it plays out of my good speakers. Immediate, awesome improvement in the sound. The bonus is, I can record it as an audio track directly into Sonar, to mix with harp tracks, etc. That is...if I DO get good enough at actually playing it.The theremini makes practicing more fun because of all of the experimentation you can do. And you can turn the dial so it hits the notes more easily, which is helpful in the beginning for sure.The editing software works fine. If you like the chromatic scale and are tired of endless turning the dial to get it when playing some of your favorite "presets," you can use the editing software to save it so that the chromatic scale automatically comes up when you go to a particular preset. You can also replace any of the presets on your theremini with others. You can find dozens of presets for the Theremini, load them into the software, and put them on the Theremini if you so desire. If I can only learn to play, this instrument will be very useful in my work.

This is a very good instrument with a lot of bells and whistles. I do have to mention that the pitch antenna is taped into a recess at the bottom of the instrument, and I originally thought it came without the antenna. Use the pitch correction to get notes in tune!

The digital features are epic. It's a full on Moog synth with analogue grade variability.YOU WANT TO GET IT ON A MIC STAND....otherwise expect LOT'S of instability. (Which makes it even harder to learn to play) Mic stands are typically 5/8th, this need a converter to 3/8th. Mine was a new manufacture with the 1.1 firmware. However, the top note in your specified range will be slightly sour and cannot be up tuned with pitch correction off. It good with it on though. I am very new to playing Ether Phones and this currently seems insurmountable to me with pitch correction off. I can play (very poorly) with the Ionian scale set and using the range setting of C3 to C6. I will be playing in the Chromatic scale to practice the finer movements if I ever get better at this. The default voice is improved CONSIDERABLY by setting the effect to half power. The National anthem is about all I can play on this right now. For background, I sing, have perfect (or very nearly perfect) pitch, and play the piano at expert level. I write and compose my own work. And yes, this is a difficult instrument to learn to play. I recommend a stool. I don't seem to be able to stand still enough to make it happy. Also, perfect pitch is basically a curse with this device, EVERYTHING SOUNDS CLEARLY OUT OF KEY ALL THE TIME. So...wish me luck, and good luck to you!

El instrumento funciona bien, y el vendedor fue rápido, al igual que Amazon.Pésimo servicio de UPS, sin embargo; tardó varios dÃas en llegar, más de lo esperado, y no pudieron ayudarme ni con la fecha de entrega durante el seguimiento.

La prima volta che ho provato a giocare con un "Theremin" fu circa 37 anni fa in un negozio di strumenti musicali e mi colpì molto. Non potendo acquistarlo per le mie finanze di allora, è rimasto sempre un desiderio. Dopo tanti anni ho ritrovato questo modello che ho subito comprato e ho iniziato ad usare con molta soddisfazione. Hanno davvero rivoluzionato lo strumento, a parte che c'è la possibilità di sfruttare un sintetizzatore davvero completo, ma attraverso il computer e la sua porta USB è possibile rendere permanenti le modifiche ai suoni (preset) di fabbrica e di scaricarne altri, modificarli e rinominarli, direttamente dal sito MOOG. C'è la possibilità di suonare lo strumento il modalità "nativa" o scegliendo le varie scale perchè al suo interno ha un 'autotune' regolabile così rendere ancora più intuitiva e precisa l'esecuzione. Ha molte funzionalità che per chi produce musica elettronica sono irrinunciabili. Davvero felicissimo di aver effettuato questo acquisto.

Pensé en devolver el producto, porque no era capaz de encontrar la antena vertical. Finalmente, me informó el vendedor de que estaba bajo el theremin

I bought this to learn the theremin because it has a build in tuner and the pitch correction. I do not like the pitch correction all the way up as it is not possible to do vibrato with this turned all the way up, but turned just a little bit, it still catch all the proper notes and still permit to do a good amount of vibrato.The build in speaker is weak and even at maximum volume it's not so good, but I plug it in my Roland Micro Cube or use the headphones and it's great. I like the build in effect as well, as it makes all the difference in the sound. I do have the delay on my amplifier but it's still nice to have it on the instrument for those who use an amplifier without effects.I feel the theremini is going to help me learn faster and decide if I like it enough to buy a 1000$ etherwave. I would still keep the theremini because of the sounds it can produce, and you can build your own with the provided program too. This is no toy at all, and it is as hard to play as any other theremin, and same technique apply for both instruments.Of course the technique with the hands is important with both, but I realized the way I calibrate the theremini is also very important so the hand movements do not need to be too wide, just right. With the right calibration, I can manage to get a full scale just by moving my fingers, not having to move my hand much. It's going to take years of practice to become good with this, but it's worth it. I bought a white microphone stand with an adapter and it looks really cool with the theremini that is also white. I am not using the other sounds for now, because I want to focus on the technique and the classic sound, but there is 32 very cool sounds.This is probably the least intuitive instrument I have played and one must have a very good ear for tone and music because oherwise, without the tuner it would sound very pitchy and out of tune. I think this part is probably the most important thing to have in order to be able to learn that instrument. If a person cannot ear when something is out of tune, then forget about this instrument or any theremin.

Commandé il y'a 3 jours avec livraison entre 1 et 2 semaines, je l'ai reçu ce matin. Bravo pour le service.Je connaissais l'histoire du thérémine depuis longtemps mais ne trouvais aucun intérêt à en acheter un. C'était un bruit un peu irritant et difficile à jouer. Puis, il y'a quelques jours, j'ai vu une vidéo sur YT au sujet de ce modèle. 3 choses m'intéressaient: 1) la possibilité de jouer la gamme des notes ou jouer toute la courbe de fréquences: 2) la liste de presets pour changer de sonorité: 3) la sortie CV pour le brancher sur mes autres synthés. Au bout de 4 heures, je n'utilise plus la "pitch correction"; les possibilités infinies de modulation entre les deux antennes sont incroyables. Selon la forme d'onde, on peut même moduler la tonalité avec l'antenne "volume". J'ai maintenant envie de le brancher sur un de mes synthés modulaires pour voir les effets sur les filtres. Rajouter un processeur multi-effets comme le Zoom G3Xn, que j'ai acheté récemment, et vous avez le plus grand contrôleur de synthé qui existe. Même si vous n'êtes pas musicien, vous pouvez l'utiliser pour exprimer vous pensées intérieures.Je donnerais 10 étoiles si je pouvais. En plus, c'est un Moog, c'est du sérieux.
