Moog Theremini

La prima volta che ho provato a giocare con un "Theremin" fu circa 37 anni fa in un negozio di strumenti musicali e mi colpì molto. Non potendo acquistarlo per le mie finanze di allora, è rimasto sempre un desiderio. Dopo tanti anni ho ritrovato questo modello che ho subito comprato e ho iniziato ad usare con molta soddisfazione. Hanno davvero rivoluzionato lo strumento, a parte che c'è la possibilità di sfruttare un sintetizzatore davvero completo, ma attraverso il computer e la sua porta USB è possibile rendere permanenti le modifiche ai suoni (preset) di fabbrica e di scaricarne altri, modificarli e rinominarli, direttamente dal sito MOOG. C'è la possibilità di suonare lo strumento il modalità "nativa" o scegliendo le varie scale perchè al suo interno ha un 'autotune' regolabile così rendere ancora più intuitiva e precisa l'esecuzione. Ha molte funzionalità che per chi produce musica elettronica sono irrinunciabili. Davvero felicissimo di aver effettuato questo acquisto.

Commandé il y'a 3 jours avec livraison entre 1 et 2 semaines, je l'ai reçu ce matin. Bravo pour le service. Je connaissais l'histoire du thérémine depuis longtemps mais ne trouvais aucun intérêt à en acheter un. C'était un bruit un peu irritant et difficile à jouer. Puis, il y'a quelques jours, j'ai vu une vidéo sur YT au sujet de ce modèle. 3 choses m'intéressaient: 1) la possibilité de jouer la gamme des notes ou jouer toute la courbe de fréquences: 2) la liste de presets pour changer de sonorité: 3) la sortie CV pour le brancher sur mes autres synthés. Au bout de 4 heures, je n'utilise plus la "pitch correction"; les possibilités infinies de modulation entre les deux antennes sont incroyables. Selon la forme d'onde, on peut même moduler la tonalité avec l'antenne "volume". J'ai maintenant envie de le brancher sur un de mes synthés modulaires pour voir les effets sur les filtres. Rajouter un processeur multi-effets comme le Zoom G3Xn, que j'ai acheté récemment, et vous avez le plus grand contrôleur de synthé qui existe. Même si vous n'êtes pas musicien, vous pouvez l'utiliser pour exprimer vous pensées intérieures. Je donnerais 10 étoiles si je pouvais. En plus, c'est un Moog, c'est du sérieux.

I AM ADDICTED ALREADY!!! My Theremini arrived in decent packaging with a double box. The primary product box has an easy quick set up single sheet, which made it super fast to set up and start making noise. I have read reviews complaining about this unit not holding calibration, so I will say that I did not have that issue at all. HOWEVER, this is a very sensitive instrument, so remember that large metal objects and even your own body can change the temperament of the various settings, which may mean that you will have to re-calibrate if you change the voice preset. The calibration is super easy to do though, so stay calm and respect the instrument. The theremin is VERY difficult to play, if you are looking to play something structured and musical. But it is also super EASY to play, if you want to experience a constant relationship between your body and sound. This requires one to be very aware of the body and to use intuitive movement to relate your body to sound. It is almost like using dance to inspire sound rather than using sound to inspire dance. Because there are so many presets to experiment with, it is possible to make beautiful improvisational sounds. The other part I love is the display shows you your pitch and allows you to change your root note as well as to set scales to things like "gypsy, spanish, arabian, egyptian" so that the scale has that preset feeling to it. The options are ENDLESS! I just LOVE this unit. And for the very good price point, this unit allows the new theremin student to experience classic theremin playing, as well as just have a great time with improvising sounds. THANK YOU MOOG! I do recommend the use of headphones for those who do to torture others living in the home. But also because when others in your home hear how interesting and fun the unit is to play with, they all want a turn!!! HAHAHA.

Schnelle Lieferung. Das Instrument ist es wert und in Kombination mit externen Lautsprechern noch besser (mehr Bässe). Kalibrierung ist absolut wichtig und dann ist die empfindlichkeit wie sie sein soll. Klasse, nun heißt es lernen.

Arrived well ahead of advertised delivery time A new take on a very old instrument, you still have to know how to play Theremin and I found the pitch correction more of a distraction than a help. The sounds are good you get a Moog synth!. One good feature it shows the note you are playing on it's display very helpful if you are learning. Very easy to set up and get started. I also own an original Moog Theremin there is no comparison with the original sound. but If you want alternative sounds and that pitch readout for learning this is a good buy
