Moog Etherwave Standard Antenna Mod Demo

http://www.thomasgrillo.com Vist my channel to send messages. While solving a problem in which my Etherwave standard would make unintended sounds when touching the volume antenna, I discoverd some cool new things you can do with the Etherwave Standard. I solved the problem by putting a bit of nylon cable sleeve over my volume, and pitch antennae. As a result, you can now touch the antennae without the unwanted sounds, but just by gently gripping the volume antenna you can actually play the instrument in a comical nature, (I suppose). I also demonstrate a cool thing you can do by toutching the metal plate of the control panel while playing. you can change the capacitance this way, and do neat things like trills, ect. By sleeving the pitch antenna, you can safely play high notes close to it without fear of hearing an octave jump. Now, you can evin play a few extra notes by toucing the pitch antenna with each additional finger. Don't expect perfect entonation here, I got used to playing the Etherwave Pro which plays a bit differently than the Standard. I finnish the demo with a rather corny rendition of Anchors Away.

Thanks!

I must also add that Harison Instruments also makes both types of theremins.

Great question. The following manufacturers' theremins have the ability to change voice settings with knobs. Moog Music, Wavefront, PAiA, Tvox, and Kees Ankalaar (discontinued?). Theremins which do not posess knobs for voice charactor changing are produced by: Theremaniacs, Soundslikeurns, RCA (discontinued), J Car? Theremin Planet, possibly others. All theremins can be routed through effects devices to further change their tonal voice charactor. Check out my JHS Mods demo for an example.

On the Etherwave, can you change the voice either by using the knobs on it or connecting it to a computer or something? Can any theremins do that?

Thanks! That's worth knowing.

Nylon cable sleve can be obtained form computer case modification supply companies on line. You can get it in different colors, lengths, and widths. I used 3/8 inch sleve cut to cover my volume loop. At 1:13, I was squeezing the antenna. The sleeve not only solves the hickup, but when the antenna is grasped, your skin will be just outside yet another descrete zone. Squeezing lets you enter this zone, and the theremin sounds off as if being played normally. Pretty cool effect.

Very Interesting! My Standard sometimes "hiccups" if I touch the volume antenna. However, I've never heard of nylon cable sleeve; is it something I'd get at a hardware store? Also, what are you specifically doing at 1:13 and 1:23 that makes the theremin sound flute-like ... it's almost like a wooden school recorder or penny whistle?

sounds like 80's video game sound effects at times.
