Playing the air
like a theremin

Our Theremin is a virtual instrument that emulates the sound and playing gesture of a classic theremin. Instead of two physical antennas, the plugin gives you an on-screen performance field: moving across it changes pitch (horizontal axis) and volume (vertical axis), just like moving your hands near a real theremin's antennas. On top of that core gesture, the plugin adds a full modulation section - vibrato, timbre shaping, a resonant filter, a noise layer for analog character, an amplitude envelope, delay, and reverb - so you can shape anything from a faithful vintage tone to modern pads and sci-fi leads.

You can play two ways, and both work at the same time: With the mouse - click and hold inside the performance field. While the mouse button is down, the plugin produces sound: dragging left/right bends the pitch across the octave range set by the Pitch range knob, and dragging up/down changes the volume. Releasing the mouse fades the note out using the Release time. With a MIDI keyboard or controller - regular MIDI notes are also fully supported. Note number sets the pitch, the pitch-bend wheel bends it further, and the mod wheel controls volume. MIDI input takes priority over the performance field while a note is held.
