Etherwave® Plus Field Upgrade Instructions

The Etherwave Plus Field Upgrade is an advanced project for upgrading a standard Moog Music Etherwave theremin

to the Etherwave Plus. The new features of the Etherwave Plus include:

• Pitch CV Output – The Pitch Antenna can act as a CV (Control Voltage) controller for any external CV compatible

device, such as Moogerfooger® analog effects, the Minimoog Voyager® analog synthesizer, the Little Phatty® analog

synthesizer or the Moog Guitar. The Pitch CV is generated from the pitch of the theremin waveform. Nominal output

is -2.5V to + 4.5V. Zero Volts is output when the theremin produces a pitch one octave below middle C (approx.

131Hz). The Pitch CV output is factory-calibrated to produce a change of 1 Volt per octave change in the theremin’s

pitch.

• Volume CV Output – The Volume Antenna can act as a CV controller for any external CV-compatible device. The

Volume CV output is generated from the same CV signal used internally for the Etherwave’s VCA circuitry. Nominal

output is 0 to +10V.

• Gate Output – The Gate signal can be used as a signal to start envelopes, trigger sample and hold circuits or other

timing related activities.The Gate signal is generated when the Volume CV rises above 0 Volts AND when the ther-

emin audio is greater than 0 Hz. OFF is 0 Volts and +10V is ON.

• Headphone Output with headphone volume control – can be congured with an internal jumper for normal or

“pitch preview” function.

• Power Indicator LED - indicates when the unit is on and ready to play.

This User’s Guide only describes the installation of the upgrade and the use of the added functions of the Etherwave

Plus. For information regarding the operation of the Etherwave Plus’ basic theremin functions, please refer to the Sec-

tions “Setting Up and Playing the Moog Music Etherwave Theremin” in the Etherwave Theremin User’s Manual. The

manual also assumes knowledge of basic theremin functions and terms.

The Upgrade

The upgrade procedure requires the following skills:

• Use of basic hand tools

• Precision drilling of three 1/2” holes with 7/8” counterbores into the wooden cabinet.

• Soldering wire harnesses and panel components to a PCB (Printed Circuit Board).

• Calibration of the Etherwave.

Caution: If you do not have these skills, then we recommend the Etherwave Plus factory upgrade

for your Etherwave.

Tools and materials required for the Upgrade:

• Drill press or hand drill

• 7/8” Forstner drill bit

• 1/2” drill bit

• Center punch for marking location of holes to be

drilled.

• Scotch or masking tape

• Soldering iron appropriate for electronics assembly

• Solder appropriate for electronics assembly

• #2 Phillips screwdriver

• Small athead screwdriver (1/8”)

• 15mm socket

• 11mm nutdriver, socket or wrench for installing pots

• 1/2” nutdriver, socket or wrench for installing jacks

• Wire cutters

• Wire stripper (for 22AWG wire)

• Voltmeter

• Calibration tool (included with kit)

• ESD-safe work bench
