THEREMINI FEATURES & CONTROLS
The Front panel controls are kept to a minimum, allowing both hands to
remain free to play the Theremini. The most frequently used controls—
Volume, Pitch Correction, Effect Amount, and Presets—feature active
knobs for fast access. Panel buttons allow quick selection of musical
Scale, Root note, and Effect Preset. The backlit LCD screen displays
visual feedback from a built-in tuner. The Setup button offers access
to the Calibration procedure and other deeper levels of control.
EXPLORING THE THEREMINI
Before we dig in to the controls and connectors, let’s quickly look at a
few important features of the Theremini body itself.
INTERNAL SPEAKER
The Theremini is equipped with a built-in monitor speaker. This speaker
allows you to setup and play anywhere without the need for an additional
amplifier or speakers. The output level is controlled by the VOLUME knob
on the front panel.
NOTE: When headphones or earbuds are connected to the Headphone jack on the
front panel, the internal speaker is muted, allowing for truly private practice.
PITCH ANTENNA STORAGE
The bottom panel provides convenient storage for the removable Pitch
antenna, making the Theremini easy to transport. To store the antenna,
place one end of the pitch antenna into the catch tab side of the storage area.
Lightly push the catch tab and press the other end of the antenna snugly
into place. You can also place the antenna catch tab end first. To remove the
antenna from storage, hold the catch tab and pull the antenna out.
STAND ADAPTOR
Also on the bottom panel is a 3/8” stand-mount fixture. This allows the
Theremini to be mounted directly on a microphone stand or camera tripod.
While the 3/8” size is quite common, an inexpensive 5/8” female to 3/8
male adapter can be used to accommodate a 5/8” mic stand.
