Therevox ET-4.1 Features Expressive Control + Analog Sound

therevox

The Therevox ET-4.1 is an analog continuous pitch instrument inspired by the interface of the rare Ondes Martenot.

Each oscillator has six different waveforms, including the classic sine wave of the Electro-Theremin and the Ondes Martenot’s unique octiviant and white noise settings. Each oscillator can be tuned separately, or synched to create intervals or interesting harmonics. Oscillator 2 can also be set to a consistent note or used as an LFO to modulate the filter. The internal low-pass filter with variable cutoff frequency is used to shape the sound and this can also be controlled with an external expression pedal or CV source.

Here’s a video intro to the Therevox ET-4.1:

  1. Excellent blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
    I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a
    little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with
    a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option?
    There are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused ..
    Any suggestions? Thank you!
