Moog Theremini Analog Synthesizer

The Moog Theremini is a unique and modern take on the classic Theremin, an electronic musical instrument known for its touchless interface. Here’s an overview of its features and capabilities:

Design Fusion:

The Theremini combines the traditional Theremin’s touchless playing experience with a powerful sound engine derived from Moog’s Animoog synthesizer, offering a blend of vintage and contemporary technology.

Assistive Pitch Quantization:

This feature assists players of all skill levels. You can adjust the level of playing difficulty, from fully quantized (impossible to play a wrong note) to less quantized, allowing for more expressive pitch and vibrato control. At the minimum setting, it functions like a traditional Theremin.

Built-in Tuner:

The Theremini includes a built-in tuner that provides real-time visual feedback on the note being played and its proximity to the correct pitch. This is valuable for improving your playing accuracy and for educational purposes, especially for beginners.

Presets:

It offers 32 wave or wavetable-based presets, allowing you to access a variety of sounds. You can also store a selected scale and root note, set and recall a specific playing range, and adjust per-patch settings for the stereo delay effect.

Built-in Speaker:

The Theremini features a compact built-in speaker, which is handy for private rehearsal and quick setup in various settings. It allows you to practice without the need for external amplification.

Headphone Output:

You can use the front panel headphone jack to practice silently by plugging in earbuds or headphones, muting the built-in speaker.

Connectivity:

For live performance and gestural control, the rear panel includes two line-level audio outputs, a pitch control voltage (CV) output with a selectable range, and a mini USB jack for MIDI input/output and connectivity to other devices.

Removable Pitch Antenna:

The Theremini has a removable pitch antenna with a built-in storage compartment on the bottom side, making it easy to transport and protect the antenna.

Mic Stand and Camera Stand Adaptor:

It includes a built-in 3/8” mic stand and camera stand adaptor, allowing you to mount it securely in different performance or recording setups.

High-quality Rubberized Feet:

The instrument features high-quality rubberized feet for stability during use.

Made in USA:

The Theremini is proudly manufactured in the United States, maintaining the high-quality standards associated with Moog instruments.

Overall, the Moog Theremini is a versatile and user-friendly instrument that offers both traditional Theremin sounds and modern synth capabilities, making it suitable for musicians, educators, and performers of all levels.
