Moog Etherwave Theremin – Analog Theremin with CV/Gate, Headphone Out & Mute

Manipulate sound without touch. The Moog Etherwave Theremin updates the world’s best-known theremin design with refined analog electronics, accurate ~5-octave pitch range, improved low-end response and a hand-finished hardwood cabinet. Two quick-release brass antennas give precise control of pitch and volume, while front-panel timbre controls, headphone out with level, and a Mute button make practicing and stage setup painless. On the back, Pitch CV, Volume CV and Gate outputs let you play and control modular, semi-modular and Eurorack synths directly—turning Etherwave into a uniquely expressive performance controller as well as a classic instrument.
