Daniel Fisher, Sweetwater’s control freak, demonstrates multiple ways of using the Moog Etherwave Plus and Moog Theremini as control sources for synthesizers, Eurorack modules, computer-hosted virtual synthesizers, and effects pedals with an Expression jack.

One of the things that makes his videos so good is you can really tell how much he enjoys exploring all these cool instruments and effects and sharing his knowledge and experience, it's authentic and genuine

Was just watching a Moog Theramin video and Bob mentioned CV outs, was wondering if anyone had patched the theramin to a synth. And… here we are!

@vaspers 4 года назад

Daniel Fisher, you are in my top 3 synth demo/review presenters. Very interesting how you can use a theremin as a controller.

@ItsWesSmithYo 4 месяца назад

Thanks mate, bought mine from you cats a while back and finally got around to wanting to use the USB side…thanks again

@flyesenmusic 5 лет назад

I had this idea in mind, to somehow transport theremin's pitch to synthesizers. Looked it up and here it is!

@zamkowicz 2 года назад

2 years later here I am, same reason

@flyesenmusic 2 года назад

@@zamkowicz Oh yeah! And by the way, 2 years later I'm also closer to realizing this idea than ever. I'm planning my first Eurorack modular system and I'd really love to get a Doepfer module that's basically a theremin antenna.

@AndGuitar 6 лет назад

Wow! You just opened the doors to a whole new way of controlling midi gear! Phenomenal demo! I would love to see them used for controlling patches between dual guitar amp setups etc. Thanks for posting!

@TokeStorm420 Год назад

Just saw a Moog Etherwave Theremin at a local thrift store today for $400. Never knew these existed until now. Now I want one! Thank you for this awesome demonstration!

Great as always, Daniel!

@ArmoredMexican 4 года назад

I originally saw Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park use a theremin to control cutoff filters when they performed live in 2010 and I thought it was so cool but didn’t know what the theremin was, now I’m waiting for my etherwave plus to get here and I’m so excited!

@LiebredelMusgo 2 года назад

@valdiskrebs566 5 лет назад

Very cool! The Theremini is both an instrument (with pitch correction & scales) and an amazing MIDI controller... which can be used simultaneously?

@sweetwater 5 лет назад

Hi Valdis Krebs. You are correct. Both the Moog Etherwave Plus and the Moog Theremini can make sound and control multiple parameters simultaneously. Thanks for watching!

@aenamabag Год назад

Neat. Like a more versatile expression pedal

@patrickbodine1300 3 года назад

Would you show the theremini using Dexed as a controller, please?

@jaisaqui Год назад

So… I got a theremini. Nice… But I’m trying to use it with Mainstage, but I have no idea on how to make it work. Mainstage is receiving the midi signal, but I got no notes, only the volume. How do I make it work?

@sweetwater Год назад

Hi jaisaqui. The Moog Theremin can send MIDI CC# messages or CV signals based on what you do to the Pitch antenna and Volume antenna. But it does not send MIDI Note Ons/Note Offs, only controller data, as shown in my video. -_Daniel_

@johnnymidnight2982 4 года назад

I have a Gator Frameworks desktop stand, but what size of adaptor would I need to install it into the bottom of the Theremini?

@sweetwater 4 года назад

Hi Johnny Midnight. This will adapt the Theremini's 3/8" to a standard 5/8" mic stand: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MA100OSS--on-stage-stands-3-8-inch-male-to-5-8-inch-female-mic-screw-adapter

@ES60Hz 2 месяца назад

If I'd like the Theremin only for control voltage use, does it matter if I buy the analog or digital (sound wise)? Or does the analog sound only matter for the original Theremin sound?

@sweetwater 2 месяца назад

Hi ES60Hz. Both the analog and digital versions of Moog Theremins are great for Control Volting. -_Daniel_

@ES60Hz 2 месяца назад

Forgive me for my wrong explanation, I will ask it different this time, Does The CV control of the analog one wI’ll create an analog sound? Or is it just some digital information?

@estharoe 2 года назад

Hi there! I managed to control other parameters of a virtual synth via a Theremini (midi), but not the regular pitch as a common keyboard controller. Could you help me with that please?

@spiritualcramp8000 4 года назад

6:50 what the heck does CC number stand for? control code? so meant MIDI? and can i stick a Theremini into an Alesis synth with MIDI in out thru? will it control volume or note?

@sweetwater 4 года назад

Hi spiritual cramp. In MIDI, a CC# is a Continuous Controller number. There are 128 CC#s: MW is CC#1, Volume is CC#7, Pan is CC#10, Sustain Pedal is CC#64, etc. The Theremini can have each of its antennas set to transmit a specific CC#. Hope that helps. Google: MIDI Spec for lots more.

@versuliu1424 4 года назад

do you need any special equipment or just a cable and an amp?

@sweetwater 4 года назад

Hi versuliu 1. To simply make sound, the Theremini is complete with built-in speakers, but the Etherwave Plus Theremin requires a guitar cable and some kind of amp to make sound. If you're asking about controlling other devices, the Theremini can do is either with its USB port (two assignable CC#s) or via its single CV port (requiring an audio cable with 1/4" TS on one end and either 1/4" or 3.5mm TS on the other end).

@phoenika Год назад

Hello Daniel, I have recently found your videos and I am an admirer of all your content, I have a Theremini and a sub 37, I would like to know if I can control the sub 37 with the theremini's antenna, and if I can do the same as you do with the guitar but with my electric violin, please and thank you greetings!!

@sweetwater Год назад

Hi Phoenikia. The Sub 37 has Pitch and Filter CV Input jacks. You can connect the CV OUT of the Theremini to either of those CV Inputs on the Sub 37. The violin will work the antenna if it has metal strings and you are touching those strings. But, even if your strings aren't metal, you can do a similar motion and the antenna will react to the proximity of your hand. -_Daniel_

Hi hmk1611. The Mood Etherwave Plus Theremin has two Control Voltage out jacks that can be used on *any* CV In that works between 0v - +5v, including the Moog Mother-32 and DFAM. Thanks for watching!

@hmk1611 4 года назад

Sweetwater sorry for the jumbled and somewhat confusing Message from earlier. What i'm really wondering if i Can control my system of M32 and Dfam with specificly the theremini. Since i'm amateur who has never played a Theremin before it's a hard leap to climb aboard the eatherwave as a first theremin. The theremini seems like the niecer option for a beginner, and i would my moogs to play well togheter.
