Let the Fun Begin: Moog Music Starts Shipping Etherwave Plus

March 11, 2009

Moog Music, the world's largest manufacturer of Theremins, today began shipping its latest model...the Etherwave Plus. The Etherwave Plus extends the Theremin's gestural playing technique to the world of analog synthesis and beyond by allowing the user to control gear with a wave of a hand, controlling synthesizers and effects while playing the Theremin. It's also a stand-alone CV (Control Voltage) controller.

"The Etherwave Plus is our most versatile Theremin yet. It can be played as a normal Theremin, but it really shines in bringing the Theremin's gestural control interface to synthesizers, effects processors and beyond. There are applications for DJs, singers, guitarists, keyboardists...even dancers," said Chris Stack, Moog Music Marketing Manager.

Moog Music's staff has produced a demonstration video to showcase the Etherwave Plus' capabilities. To see the Etherwave Plus in action visit Moog's YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/moogmusicinc. The Etherwave Plus' CV control signals are proportional to the pitch and volume of the Theremin's audio signal and can be connected to the pitch and volume CV inputs of a Little Phatty or other analog synthesizer for a new way to interact with a synth. The Etherwave Plus has all the features and tone of Moog's standard Etherwave Theremin and is housed in a naturally finished hardwood cabinet. The "Plus" features include:

Pitch & Volume CV Outputs - control a different CV parameter with each hand
Gate Output - trigger envelopes and other events
Pitch Preview/Headphone Output - with separate volume control, lets you hear your note before the audience does.
Power LED - instant visual power status on dark stages
