EXPLORING THE ESPE01 THEREMIN ENHANCEMENT MODULE

Kill some time with thereminist Thomas Grillo, as he demonstrates, and explores the enhanced tone, and extended pitch range of the enhanced Moog Music Etherwave Standard theremin using the ESPE01 module developed by Thierry Frenkel, and marketed by Wilco Botermans at http://www.theremin.nl.

UPDATE: You can now find the module at the new site:

There is also a new installation video at the above link.

I'm getting an etherwave standard for xmas and i've ordered this module so thankyou Thomas so much for this great demo on settings and tones with the module installed.

[ThomasGrillo]

@michaelpudney You're welcome. Congrats on the theremin. I hope the install goes well, and that you enjoy the enhancement.

Happy holidays! :)

I've just found another cool setting. Try the waveform set to full clockwise, and brightness at nearly four o'clock. Produces an interesting detuned organ effect.

Amazing improvement, wow

[ThomasGrillo]

@MuttonAndTheHam Indeed. It really is amazing. :)

Wow, what a professional person, you really know Theremins in a deep way, greeting from Chile Thomas!

[ThomasGrillo]

@F1do0099 Thank you, and greetings! :)

@syzahgee Sorry to hear you had to sell the Epro. I think you'll enjoy the ESPE01 in a standard. I used a speaker from an RMS100 20watt amp. It's an 8 inch speaker. The amp is still in use as an amp head which is tucked away in the equipment rack near the theremin. Amp settings: Highs=1 or 2. Mids=5 or 6. Bass or lows=full. Vol=3ish. I also use a small tube preamp for warmth and preventing overdriving. Reverb is from my TC Helicon Voice-live harmonizer on bypass. Record on Zoom H4 recorder.

Great video. Since I'm shopping for another theremin, this just might put me back in the standard Etherwave's seat.  Having sold my E Pro, I have been debating on the Waveform Classic or going back to the Etherwave. Therry is a wizard at making things work.

What size speaker did you use? Amp? Thanx, Purp

@EtherealTristesse Thank you. It really is an amazing enhancement. :)
