Mod For Moog Etherwave Theremin Adds Extended Bass Response



This recording of Rachmaninoff's Vocalise Op. 34 has absolutely no musical value. I'm not a musician, I'm a theremingénieur.... So this is a demonstration of my most recent development - a small module which is soldered onto the Etherwave's circuit board and which extends the pitch range of this theremin by somewhat more than 1.5 octaves towards lower frequencies. The player will feel a much more stable and linear pitch field, even very far away from the pitch antenna. At the same time, the bass range of this instrument does not longer sound like a dying motorbike...

As the theremin goes very low, small computer speakers will perhaps not allow you to hear the extended bass in acceptable quality. Try using headphones or an external sound system...
