Introduced back in January at the Winter NAMM show, Moog Music has started shipping the Etherwave Pro, a fully professional
theremin with greater range and portability. It is the latest development
in Moog Music's fifty-year history of building Theremins.
The Etherwave Pro covers the entire musical pitch range, up to four octaves
above middle C, in the three panel selectable pitch registers. In addition
to its range, the Etherwave Pro is a visually
stunning instrument, in a unique blend of futuristic and retro styling with
striking vertical lines, nickel-plated and wooden knobs, and a tiger maple
front panel.
A multi-position timbre selector offers a variety of musically rich
waveforms, including the authentic traditional theremin tone. In addition,
waveform, brightness, and filter panel controls enable musicians to balance
the timbre to suit their musical requirements.
The Etherwave Pro's antennas conform to the traditional theremin standard.
The pitch antenna is a straight vertical rod, while the volume antenna is a
horizontal loop. Both right-handed and left-handed configurations of the
Etherwave Pro's pitch and volume antennas to the musician's hand motions are
carefully tailored for smoothness and uniformity. Player-accessible
response adjustments are provided on the front panel. The Etherwave Pro's
control voltage outputs allow it to interface with the Minimoog Voyager
analog synthesizer or Moogerfooger analog effects modules.
The Etherwave Pro sells for
$1495.00 and is now available from Moog Music.
