That don't mean nothing to me. the DS-1 is still a poop pedal. I know I have sadly owned one.

I never knew just how crappy my gear was until I got on the Internet. Thanks for letting me know the two DS-1s I have are poop pedals. Please tell me which distortion pedalsare not poop pedals.

https://www.moogmusic.com/products/etherwave-plus-theremin has CV outs for both antennas; then there are many options for CV to MIDI.
https://www.moogmusic.com/products/etherwave-theremins/theremini has MIDI over USB, but it seems that you need to plug it into a computer.
https://www.moogmusic.com/products/claravox-centennial has both, but is fairly expensive.

I have a pre order in for a left-handed Claravox theremin....my rapidly expanding semi modular setup demands it....image.jpg

Sweet!
Why did you get the Left handed one?
I have a Etherwave Standard with a few upgrades... I essentially play it like Jimmy Pages does, but I have always figured that if I were to start taking it seriously, I would stand behind it so that the left hand handles pitch (fretting hand) and right hand handles attack (picking hand).

I am strange, I am left handed at some things(writing) and right handed at others (guitar) ..I have used theremin in the past and determined I am more
comfortabLE controlling pitch with my left hand, with Moog theremins, turning it around with the display and controls away is not optimal (returned a Etherwave because) and the Claravox is the first to offer left hand option..and has all the bells and whistles (literally ) i want.
 
In your case, I would venture that being able to play a bigger selection of (right-handed) guitars was the right move.

I'm paraphrasing here, but Marc Ribot says that he can't play fast because he writes with his left hand, but plays guitar right handed and therefore feels limited in his picking hand ability. Michael Angelo Batio on the other hand...


Maybe after all, on the theremin, the most dexterous hand should probably be playing pitch.
Agreed that turning it around isn't optimal, but once I have a sound I'm not really messing with the controls anymore. Glad that you have the Left handed option with the Claravox!

Maybe a more appropriate place to discuss theremins: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/theremin-thread.168120/

Yeah this thread is irrelevant at this point anyway..........unless of course it is Firmware faturday (er ...Saturday)
 
The DS-1 can sound great, but it can be difficult to tame. Each control seems to have a lot of range. It sounds best (IMO) into a slightly broken-up amp with the gain and level below halfway. The tone control needs to be set somewhere between 9 o'clock and 12 o'clock. Some great recorded sounds have been made with the DS-1. It's a classic for a reason.

I agree with you. I had a DS-1 and gave it away because it sounded like poop with a fresh battery. I would much rather have the Boss HT-2 , MXR Wyld distortion or just more amps like the Randall Satin. waist of time putting the DS-1 in it.

Modeling the MXR Wylde would be a waste of time.
