DT1 digital Theremin

The Theremin is a remarkable musical instrument dating from experiments being done in the early days of radio. Leon Theremin was a Russian scientist working on the development of radio technology during the 1920s. He realised that the beat effect between high frequency oscillators could be hanrnessed to produce a tone that could be influenced by the proximity of the player to an antennae.

The dt1 Theremin uses modern components and a unique modular design, making it robust, reliable and able to generate a wide variety of sounds. The unit has two antennae, one to control pitch and other to control volume, just as with Theremin's original units. Two models are available, the standard model and a fully-featured version which has the addition of modulation effects for creating expressive sounds and effects.
