Moog Theremini – Modernized Digital Theremin with Pitch Correction

The Moog Theremini reimagines the classic theremin for today’s players—preserving its iconic touchless performance while adding modern usability. With intuitive pitch correction, built-in tuner, CV and MIDI connectivity, and vocoder-inspired presets, it makes expressive, otherworldly sound accessible to both newcomers and experienced synth enthusiasts.

Galvenās iezīmes

• Adjustable pitch correction: From freehand pitch to locked-scale accuracy—up to 100% quantization ensures you never miss the right note.
• Built-in tuner & custom scales: See pitch in real time on the LCD; choose from various scales and root notes for guided microtonal or traditional play.
• 32 wavetable presets: Derived from Moog’s Animoog engine, covering everything from classic theremin tones to modern synth textures with stereo ping-pong delay.
• Onboard speaker and outputs: Play immediately via built-in speaker or connect via headphone jack or dual ¼″ line outputs for studio or performance setups.
• CV, MIDI & USB integration: Pitch CV output (selectable range), USB-MIDI port, and MIDI CV control with software editor support for deeper tweaking.
• Practical design features: Detachable pitch antenna with storage, 3/8″ stand mount for mic tripods, anti-slip feet for secure desktop or stand use.

Priekšrocības

The Theremini offers the mystique and motion-based control of a traditional theremin, but with modern tools that welcome both confident performance and playful experimentation. From educational environments to the stage or studio, it opens the door to expressive, tactile sound using minimal setup.
