Moog Etherwave Overview

Musicians and performers looking for an instrument with unprecedented expression will be inspired by the Moog Etherwave, a modern update to the popular Etherwave Standard and Etherwave Plus instruments. With no reeds to blow, no keys to press, and no strings to pluck, the Etherwave defies all expectations of a musical instrument. For the novice enthusiast or the seasoned professional player, Etherwave Theremin offers exceptional sonics, playability, and control to take your sound into new dimensions.

The instrument provides an accurate five-octave pitch range and balanced spacing between notes, which allows for a highly sophisticated degree of playability. The updated analog electronics improve on the classic theremin circuit design with better bass response in the lower registers. The hand-finished hardwood enclosure features two quick-release plated-brass antennas. Additionally, rear-panel I/O connections and a detachable 5/8" threaded microphone-stand adapter ensure a quick set up on the go.

  • Easily accessible front-panel controls
  • Spontaneously change timbre and the antennas’ response
  • Adjustments to suit any player and their environment
  • Advanced users can go a step further via the calibration access panel on top of the instrument
  • Front-panel headphone output with dedicated volume control
  • Mute button that silences the main audio output, while leaving the headphone output active for privately adjusting timbre and tuning
  • Connect directly and control your other modular, semimodular, and Eurorack synthesizer systems, all via CV (control voltage)
  • Control your synthesizers or effects while playing the theremin, by patching into Etherwave Theremin’s 3.5mm Pitch CV, Volume CV, and Gate CV jacks for a completely new performance experience
