Nice hands on ( sorry.....hands off ) demo. I always wondered about Ali Express....but looks like it's worth a go. 👍😀 PS I actually have a Moog Theremini.......haven't tried it for a long time .....guess I'll have to give it a try again.........woooo, eeeeeee, mmmmmm etc
I've always wanted a Theremin myself. A friend of mine has a Moog Theremin, and I had a go a few years ago. I was totally hopeless so I held off from getting one as Moogs offering was just too expensive for me to justify, but this looks perfect for me! Might be a little more difficult to coax a tume out of, but I'm sure it'll be great for making the kids laugh whilst i "play" it. 🤦 I'll definitely be getting one! Thanks lads.
Got mine a few days ago and by experimenting I found that getting the pitch antenna away from the theramin helps. I used 2 audio adaptors that I already had, a 3.5mm to 6.5mm into the theramin, a 6.5mm to 3.5mm into the 1st adaptor, and the theramin antenna into the second. The adaptors were just mono and worked fine. They move the antennae 3" (75mm) to the right and now the pitch only changes when my hand is within 8" (20cm). The distance between notes decreases the closer your hand gets to the antenna for the higher pitches, so the lower couple of octaves are more controllable. I'm having fun with it.
I’ve been considering a moog theramini, but at the moment there’s gear I need more. Just got a cat today, not the purring and meowing kind but the Behringer clone, and tomorrow my VC340 arrives, though I’m pissed Behringer don’t include a mic. For £440 I would have expected not to have to buy a separate. gooseneck mic
With the bell sound Jason seemed to come up with a film score for a Peter Cushing & Christopher Lee film almost immediately 👀. Nice T shirt Simon, I have the red version which is currently protecting my Roland JS-30 from dust! Boyz from the Dwarf 🖖
Hello from across the pond! :D I saw your video and thought "Man...I like weird noises...drone and ambient stuff so this is right up my alley." Amazon in the u.s. wants $72 for it. I hit up ebay and there's a seller (which happens to be in my state) that has them for around $42.99 (SOLD!) :D I have a few effect pedals I'm going to run this bad boy through. Thanks for the video and making my wallet a bit lighter.
Just got mine today. They sure do not give much in the way of instructions. But now I know how to find the other instrumental sounds. And when you find one you like you can save it. Tomorrow I will see if it upsets the puppy. About 15 years ago I attempted to build a bigger one with a kit. I should not have been so stubborn. My husband and fatherinlaw offered to help but they tend to take over. I messed it up badly . Hubby planned this one for my Christmas gift but he didn't realize it was in the package until after he had me open it.
Alright, you've got me lol. Don't know why but I'd been holding off from subscribing, guess I just needed to see the right content and this is it! I'm currently producing some serious synth prog (as opposed to my regular Acid House) and I'm looking into theremins. Seen this on Amazon at around £60 and didn't honestly know what to think, didn't even bother looking for reviews or videos until I started looking into the Moog Theremini. Thanks so much for not only taking the fear out of a cheaper model but also taking the fear out of using AliExpress. Gonna order tomorrow! Keep up the great work!
I'm wondering if I should get this guy, or just wait for Stylophone's Theramin to come out - it's only gonna be $110 and looks to be even cooler than this one.
@@jamesmartin7940 Yeah? I just came into some money and really wanna grab a cheap portable synth to treat myself. Trying to decide between the Stylophone Gen X-1, a Korg Volca Bass or something from Behringer. The Stylophone is the most affordable - the only thing holding me back is the lack of either midi in or a sequencer.
Mine has arrived! Just been putting through its paces and plenty of effects, absolute bargain! Very happy! Thanks once again for showing the world that AliExpress and this item are legit and saving me some money in the process. Gonna do a video soon 👊
How are you enjoying it? I'm wondering if I should get this guy, or just wait for Stylophone's new Theramin to come out - it's only gonna be $110 and looks pretty incredible too
I don't hook mine up to anything like an amp or speakers. but it seems if you are only using the built in speakers you cannot get some of the sounds. Iwas hoping to be able to use the piano or organ sound but cannot get any sounds from it when I select those. any ideas?
@@takethefearoutthegear6229 I did go to AliExpress...but they had like 30 of the same mini-theremin from different sellers. So I wasn't sure which ones are junk/scams and which ones are legit. I was just curious which seller on AliExpress you purchased yours from...just so I don't have to wait a month to find out I chose wrong. lol
Nice one chaps. We still haven't got the theremin Kopy Katz Suck track at live shoes. Only on the studio version. 😢

"... coax a tume out of"... Well, you'll just have to tume it properly wiv a tumour, yeah? 😁😉
Same. Just got mine. Will find out tomorrow how our puppy tolerates it.

Mines on the way and dig the Red Dwarf shirt!
Just ordered one and came across your channel again! Brilliant stuff! Keep it up💗
Amazing. Does this product have a P2 output?

Wondering the exact same thing, I got 3 other stylophone products and live them!

I think we need to wait. The stylophone looks incredible
Do you have any other videos using this little theramin?

American anthem? Do I win a prize! 😭😁
