fit, fix and mods your theremin
More than one theremin, at first the most popular ethervawe , is not on
best fitness conditions, because of not proper calibration and small
project limits wich can be optimized. Then, after bad handling,
during a tour, after an accidental falls, needed an emergency on the
road or, still on the stage
More: there are no easily available service centers or technicians who know these instruments.
Nothing of strange, often the musician must be the first technician of its instrument.
The workshops aims to explain the history, basics of operation
and the main problems about the theremin and to put every partecipant -
with a simply and cheap equipmnet - under the proper
conditions to do:
A) Basic
Main basics of electronic technique, simple electrical measurements and soldering
Main checks in case of breakdowns and malfunctions and related solutions
For check and fix failures on power supply, interferences- main
filter, audio cable, connectors, antennae, volume and pitch aerial
circuits after a bad handling, travel, crash: tuning and repairs
the coils. Alignment procedure, VCA section on volume circuit, tuning
the theremin - body size and the playing style
B) Advanced
- Improve the linearity, tuning for the best linearity in connection with the body size and the playing style
- Customize your theremin: Ethervawe standard, Etherwave Pro, Silicon Chip, PAIA theramax, etc.
