The Moog Etherwave is a reprint of the famous Theremin, an early electronic instruments.
This is a 100% analog instrument (changes are also possible and even presented in the documentation of the manufacturer). It has 4 knobs (see below), a mono audio output and a connection type for the former DIN transformer (not universal).
The case, quite impossible, is black lacquered wood. Antennas, removable and fixed with nuts, are elegant in their chrome.
This model does not have MIDI.
In general, it comes with two video tapes useful.
UTILIZATION
The Theremin is an instrument in itself!
No way to say we'll make music by moving their hands in all directions after 1 hour of use. NO! It requires some learning, real learning. You move the right hand of a hair of a millimeter and you're next to the note. Worse than a violin
IT CAN BE USED addition of the instrument, its settings are very simple: one button for volume, one for pitch, one for the waveform and one for the tone (brightness). The latter two knobs are however not very effective. The waveform varies too significantly, the starting of the sinusoid, we approach the square without actually reaching it. In addition, the tone does not play its role more or less depending on the waveform (which is also logical).
SOUNDS
Found with this instrument, the warmth of analog sound. Logic! Since this is such an instrument.
As noted above, the buttons do not have a drastic effect on the wave. It is sufficient enough to make subtle changes and adapt to the frequencies of other instruments for a better presence.
However, the sound of the Etherwave approach really that of the original Theremin. Beautiful, clear, warm. It is even more of a pleasure as it uitiliser Quer sending in different effects and simulators.
OVERALL OPINION
I fell, I confess!
I love this instrument, unique in its kind ... the instrument that puts the player (read: one that is currently using it) in the heart of the sound space. The music that emerges is the invisible, non-palpable. It is resent to arise in the soul of his musician.
After this note spiritually as subjective as constructive, let's get serious. As stated above: The Theremin is an instrument in itself that requires real learning. Although I have acquired in order to create sound and visual effects for concerts, just for that, it already implies a handling serious and rigorous.
But what a pleasure to use, drag the note to hear in the air as and when our hands are traveling in space! This instrument creates an inimitable pleasure to play!
