The Moog Theremini makes the unique Theremin instrument more accessible than ever before. A built-in tuner gives you visual feedback of your tuning accuracy, perfect for correcting your playing position. With 32 wavetable-based sound presets and different musical scales and root notes to choose from, the Theremini makes it easy to start playing. One of Sweetwater’s favorite features is that you can control the amount of pitch quantization, giving you equal access to hard-tuned sounds and classic free-ranging Theremin sounds. Whether you’re a performing electronic musician or just have a taste for unusual instruments, you’ll experience music in a whole new way with the Moog Theremini.

Start playing fast thanks to built-in scales and pitch quantization
While the free-ranging pitch of the original Theremin is what gives its sound much of its unique character, the Theremini gives you the option to quantize your playing to one of many selectable scales. Best of all, you’ve got complete control over the amount of pitch quantization. At maximum settings, notes lock into place in the selected scale – it’s impossible to play a wrong note. As you decrease this control, you get more expressive control over pitch and vibrato. Turn it all the way down, and you have the same performance characteristics as you’d expect from an original Theremin.
Improve your technique quickly with the built-in tuner
If you haven’t played a Theremin before, it can be tricky at first to hit specific note pitches during a performance. Moog equipped the Theremini with a built-in tuner that gives you real time visual feedback of every note you play. That makes it much easier to fine-tune your technique and positioning until you’re hitting every note perfectly.
Create modern sounds with a unique vibe
With 32 built-in sounds derived from Moog’s Animoog synth engine, the Theremini gives you a wide sonic palette to experiment with. From the classic ’50s sci-fi sounds of the original Theremin to modern synth sounds, the Theremini is Moog’s most versatile Theremin to date.
