Moog Theremini Tutorial with thereminist Lydia Kavina
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 гру 2014
- Thereminist Lydia Kavina, first taught by Léon Theremin himself, gives us great tips and tricks for playing the wonderful new Moog Theremini. If you're just getting started with the Theremini, make sure to check it out! Want more info? See below!
The Moog Theremini is an affordable modern re-imagination of the classic Theremin, which anyone can learn to play - it has:
• User friendly pitch assist correction with selectable scales and root note, so you can't play a wrong note! You can also turn this off for classical theremin glissando sounds, or just dial it back for partial correction as you improve your technique.
• 32 different sounds on-board, covering a range of basses, lead sounds, classical theremin tones and much more.
• Adjustable stereo ping-pong delay built right in, for wonderful ethereal sounds right out of the box!
• Built in tuner gives live visual feedback of currently playing note, showing how close you are to hitting the note to help learn pitch and scales.
• Built in speaker for instant playback anywhere.
• Headphone output (which mutes the speaker) for practising!
• Stereo 1/4" audio outputs to connect Theremini to audio interfaces, looping pedals, stereo systems, multitrack recorders or anything you like!
• Single Pitch CV output w/ selectable range, so you can connect it to analogue synthesizers and use the Theremini as a wild CV modulation source.
• 21 user selectable scales and user-adjustable root note selection (including chromatic)
• User selectable note range: choose the highest note and lowest note (stored per preset), so it can be set up as you prefer
• Removable pitch antenna - built in storage compartment on bottom-side for easy storage and transportation (carry bag sold separately)
• Built in 3/8” Mic stand and Camera stand adaptor.
• High quality rubberised feet so it can be placed on a table.
The Theremini is now available, and is around £249 in the UK.

my interest raised by 50% percent when she dropped the bass.
+RiverGirl I agree!
+RiverGirl aaaaaand purchased
Purchased as well. I will zen out and have a lot of fun with this unit... An electromagnetically controlled Moog synth? I'm in 100 percent ;o)
😂😂😂
100 ;)
Every time someone starts playing a theremin, anywhere, I hope it will be the Star Trek theme. And it never is. Until now. Thank you; now I can die.
Lydian Kavina is a thereminist of the highest order. This is not only a sublime introduction to the instrument, but a real world example of it's practical application. You have a better chance of booking lunch with Donald Trump before finding, not only a skilled thereminist, but one that can explain advamced technique understandably. Bob Moog intended for it to be a teaching tool. Only fitting that it be taught so eloquently. Now I understand why it's praised so highly in the industry, and not just as an icon synth with cool sound effects. Thank you, Lydia, for allowing us to finally grasp the true musicality of this instrument without distracting us with technical marvel. And THEN, ...blowing our minds with technical marvel. lol You were talking right to me (and others). Brava! Hear, hear! Encore! My Theremini arrived today. ;-)
@funkamongstus. So now that you actually have one, what are your impressions?
@@daviddiamond2415 no answer... would love to hear it too... been weighing buy/dont't-buy for some time.. maybe i should just get it to avoid overeating when i get high 😎
I had to look up when this comment was made, youtube says six years ago, which would've been 2016. Strange to think that at the time, Donald Trump was someone people mostly thought of as being hard to book lunch with, if we thought about him at all.
I absolutely love it. Far exceeded my expectations. I keep it in the living room as a conversation piece, but I still play it as a serious instrument. Everyone who sees it wants to try it. Best bang for the musical gear buck ever!
@@bluemask6361 As a political figure of sorts I know people are going to have mixed opinions on him but isn't it just a straight up fact that the average Joes and Janes of the world don't stand a chance of booking lunch with the guy?
Theremin playing is musical wizardry.
Just saw this model on Amazon today after ordering a basic set up for recording music. I will purchase this later this year because this is the most insane thing I have ever seen didn’t know an instrument like this existed this is literal magic to someone like me.
Did you get it?
Mate, we need an update. I'm a classical guitarist and I'm considering buying this theremin - I loved to listen to the theremin before but this one is on another level.
The best Theremin and the best Theremini demonstration video I have seen. Namaste Lydia, thank you.
Yes
the one improv starting at 8:33 just captured me... still haunts me now...
this is so beautiful, wow *dries single tear*
Doing Tai chi next to this must be fun!
No wonder Carolina Eyck was able to hone her skill so masterfully, Lydia’s an icon and this tutorial makes me want to explore this instrument some more 😌
Wauw this was AMAZING to hear and watch 👏👏👏 thank you for your demonstration of how the Theremin works and for showing us it’s wide range 👍. You’re a true artist, respect 👍👏❤️ I enjoyed every note.
Starting with the Star Trek theme? A woman after every nerd's heart. Love it.
except that star trek never used a theremin.
@@smileasifall And she got the ending wrong... ;)
@@smileasifall No shit.
My dad just got one today and I swear, it's going to be the death of me since he doesn't know how to use it.
It sounds like multiple dying animal noises and my ears are ringing from how high pitched it was.
Hannah Gibbons Haha, well maybe direct him to this video - you have to start somewhere, the Theremin is a serious instrument to master! :)
SourceDistributionTV Alright, Will do.
Yet, I'm fairly positive that he's already seen most of the Theremin videos on UA-cam.
+Hannah Gibbons That is funny, hope he learns it well.
+Hannah Gibbons You might want to point out the headphone jack to him. just saying
haha love it
my interest raised by 500% percent when she played that awesome improv piece with the delay and loops at like 10:00 until the end!
Absolutely amazing!
What a great video! This made me just buy one. Back in film school around 2004 I saw a Leon Theremin documentary and after watching it I knew one day I would buy one. That day is today. Cant wait to learn this instrument. Lydia Kavina is awesome. I really enjoy watching her play.
Just got mine it's amazing!!!!
@@CVinyl sweet!!! I don’t have mine in my home studio, but out in my living room for guests to have fun with. It sits next to my record player and I often play to songs with it. Enjoy
Your comment was 4 years ago. Did you learn how to play? And was it an enjoyable learning experience? :) I want to buy this but don’t know if I’d need a lot of musical experience first
@@brycem.4062 to answer your question no, I didn’t learn how to property play it, but it’s very easy to jam with. I have had a lot of fun with it, and it sits in my living room next to my record player. So when I have guests over I fire up and we have a lot of fun with it. I still have yet to incorporate it into my studio sessions, but I’m in no rush. It was definitely worth the investment.
@@thedeepblueskysok awesome. Thank you for the detailed answer
Great demonstration, thanks !
I ordered one. I haven't got it yet. You make me happy I did. Great Job Ma'am.
Absolutely in love with this, it's a must have.
Thank you💙
Thanks so much for these kind explanations.
Amazing skill and a great instrument cheers for the video
Stunning instrument, outstanding demo, thank you Lydia.
Great video, thank you ! I love the last part with the looper, very nice trip...
This thing is freaking AMAZING!
Love the looping.
This is awesome for so many reasons. My hat is off to you, miss. You are a great musician and a wonderful teacher.
Fantastic! You have certainly master this beautiful instrument! endless possibilities.
Flippin' brilliant Lydia! I cannot resist this amazing instrument =+) Thank you for sharing.
Such a peculiar device. Love it!
Just starting with my Theremini today. This video was really helpful. Thank you.
OMG! I have never heard this ( or I have but never knew what it was ) It is amazing and wonderful !
I am amazed that there is such an instrument in music . Very nice and informative video . Well done . Thank you .
I feel like you actually want to teach us and enjoy the process. Thanks so much. I too am sold.
Outstanding demonstration of this very musical instrument. 'In the Hands' of a Creative Master it's awesome. Well done~!
Im getting mine today cant wait!!!
Lydia, you continue to amaze and entertain. Hoping to chat with you again soon!
Thanks for sharing. It was nice to see the relaxed skill of one of the masters of this instrument playing improv with ease.
Ultra competent demonstration by a real master. I‘m in.. will buy and practice!
Very good instruction. Thankyou.
Amazing! You are the Jimi Hendrix of the Theremin . I never wanted one until i saw this. I am definitely getting it. Moog should give you a commission.
Wonderful!!!!!!!
Amazing lady and performance 🙌
Extraordinaire ! FANTASTIQUE !!! ♡♡♡♡♡
Fantastic!
Ohhh my gawshhh this looks so fun!
Such a great tutorial, this lady's a badass 🔥
Well that was so awesome. I think I want one.
This so Great.Your play is so Good.I do want to habe a Theremin!!!!!Thank you!!
Great Help. Thanks.
Excellent tutorial! After seeing some poor product promo videos on Amazon, I wasn't whether to buy the Moog Theremini. But you video not only explains the concepts and features of the product, you showed how to play music genres. Thanks.
Amazing!
Thank you for a thorough and concise explanation and demonstration of the amazing device... this definitely has some advantages for the user than a standard theremin...
thank you for sharing, mine has just arrived.
Wow, that's wickedly beautiful.
Brilliant! I was wondering if I should get a Theremini, this video made the decision much easier :)
That loop action is so good
just amazing ...all this waves-sounds..in fact are surrounding us..the instrument
helps to hear-listen them...playing without touching ?...a miracle !
You are an excellent Musician!
Skilled thereminists always look like they’re having so much fun.
Best intro to Theremini on YT! Putting the Animoog sound engine inside the Theremini is a stroke of genius -- opens up this difficult instrument to many.
This is a serious question as I work with handicapped musicians.( I am visually impaired) ; Can a person with one arm play this instrument. How to keep volume down while using hand to make the music?
@@squatchykrislapuma4611 You can use your knee. If you get a stool or chair high enough, or have the theremini on a short surface close to your leg, you can lift your knee to quiet the sound by having the volume antenna close to you.
It has animoog in it? Lfg!
You're great!
that is awesome
Wow ! I am in awe ! xx
I've got to get me one of these.
Best ST intro I've heard.
That's a gift from Aliens to Humans 👽👽
Oxqa Vexok thank you
Take me back home please
Thank you!
Awesome video! Thanks! Just ordered my theremini, so you can ask Moog for your commission check!
Mine should arrive this week and I’m HYPED UP!!!
Hi I bought one but the antena moves a bit when I put it in the instrument. yours too?
How do you like yours so far? Contemplating
Just bought one today.this should be interesting
Awezome!!
I love the bat shirt!
Hello Lydia, I am gettting one! So I play piano, ketyboards, drums, guitars an d soon - Theremin!!
I just bought this from Sweetwater and it’s being shipped in to my home next week. So excited to get this. Been wanting one for a long time. This video is a must see to help learn.
I can't imagine to learn this, that woman played it already as a child, did you make progress?
Have you had any issues with the device just trying to make sure before I buy one
Very cool :) 👍
Super!
Theremins... What sweet music they make
Lydia fine demonstration, this new Moog theremin will be a big hit in 2015 come spring. Your skills have always amazed me.

gorgeous
I found the Naïve American flute sound amazing and to me, both the Theremin and the native flute is played with one's soul.
...and the Kalimba also.
Who is this Naive American you speak of?
I'm curious 🤔 What is a "Naïve American Flute"? 😏🤭😅
@@dingalarm Sorry, must be an auto correct error that I didn't pick up on. I meant Native American Flute.
You can look up R Carlos Nakai, or simple search for Native American Flute music.
@@MikeK2100 That's OK. I understood what you meant 👍😄
Thanks for your suggestion to listen to R Carlos Nakai. Indeed, as you mentioned in your original comment, the Theremin and native flute are played with one's soul. This applies to all "good" music.
Star Trek and Thais by Massenet, what's not to love ❣️ Excellent, thanks.
mine arrives Wednesday
Nikolas Dean
How is it going?
From where and how much? Why do u prefer it over the theremin?
5:12 sold me
yep
Haha me too
Same. And 10:13
Can you hook these up to head phones? My wife would murder me while learning to play this
Mr Adams Actually yes. The Moog Theremini has a headphone jack.
Make sure the cable doesn't get in the way haha
@@oliverpuffer6333 That's awesome. I want to practice without people nagging me.
should be bluetooth ...you could get a small BT transmitter into hphone socket to your airpods , Beats or fancy cans
@@triumphadelic The latency on bluetooth is horrible. It wouldn't sink up to what you would be doing and throw you off.
good theremin,
Lydia, you kidding me with these Bass Jams?! Heavy!
Sweet... I'm getting one now..... with the PFD.. that bass... oh goodness
Holy shit thats amazing!
i'd love to here this going through an ehx HOG- it'd sound massive
I really like Clara Rockmore's theremin sound. Is it really the same as the first preset? Because I still hear a difference in timbre... is this wrong?
Hello Lydia, thanks a lot for this excellent informative video that chromatic effects progressions are fantastic!!!!!
Please could you help me to decide which amplifier model could be great for the daily play in home/small places with my Theremini? I'll appreciate, thanks again in advance!!! ,🔊🎶
Absolutely fantastic! Where do I begin? My Theramini arrives next week?
nice instrument
This is the best demo and tutorial I have seen yet for a digital theremin. _I was disappointed though,_ when I saw her Boss RC-300 box. The use of external effects, although good for extending possibilities, dilutes the value of this video's demonstrating what the Moog Theremini can do by itself. One cannot tell what part of the sound is coming natively from theremin, and what part is created by the effects pedal.
Please, Lydia, do a dry theremin demo video, to help the viewer evaluate the theremin itself.
That would explain why mine sounds nothing like this at all. Don't beleive the theremini sound like that on its own, it does not. In fact, far from that.
Hey are you happy with your theramini? I'm debating this or saving for the etherwave moog
@@dreammkeeper2157 Hi, I replied to your other question. I am on the fence with this device. The only reason that I got the Theramini is that I was not sure I would like it enough to pay the high price the etherwave and required amplifier would cost. Lets say it's very difficult to play this instrument, even with the pitch correction. I am thinking of probably reselling it because the sound is not exactly like the real thing. But I am glad that I got the Theramini because I don't think I have a good enough hearing for music to be able to play that type of instrument. I find it more challenging and less fun that I first thought it would be.
The RC-300 seems to be used only as a looper to stack multiple layers of her own playing. All sounds you hear are still straight from the Theremini. The Theremini also has it's own built-in delay effect, I hope you don't consider it cheating? Anyway what really makes this demo "unrealistic" is not the sounds but just the incredible virtuosity of the player.
This sold it for me
Fantastic Lydia!! Hi, i have a theremini how to play sound soprano in this model? Thanks
Very good demo. What is pedal system called. Thanks
omg the major 3rds are stunning at 7.30- i want this….
Jimmy page, ultimate theraminist, complete with laser lights really awesome a must see and hear in one lifetime!
Who the hell downvotes this?
People with no souls
Herewoman, that’s who.
People with small phones and fat fingers...
Do you like living in a free world? Then you should appreciate the freedom of oppinion. Why put all these devaluations on people with different taste? Why hatred when listening to this wonderful music?
@@carlosclaptrix Technocracy will have the answer for you “free thinker” !!! Muahaha 🦹 MUAHAHAHAHA’!!! Cough hack * sneeze*….. what?! I love playing the villain !!
this theremin is really crazy
