HIWATT Echo Theremin

The theremin was invented in 1920 by a Russian physicist named Lev Sergeiyvich Termin (his name was later changed to Leon Theremin). It's a unique instrument because the Theremin is played without being touched! As a hand approaches the antenna, the pitch gets higher.

The HIWATT engineers decided to add a new dimensions of sound to the Theremin by adding delay to the unit. The HIWATT Theremin has 300 Milliseconds of delay that adds more depth and the ability to create Sci-Fi Sounds that are from another planet!

Controls: Level, Frequency, Delay Time (300 Milliseconds), Delay Level
Additional Features: Single Mono Output Jack, L.E.D. Battery Level Indicator
Power: 9 Volt Battery
Dimensions: (L) 6 1/4", (W) 4 3/4", (H) 2 3/4"
Color: Black with Mirror Dome Antenna

Function Outline:

1. Level (Master Volume Control)- Turn the level control to the right to increase the overall volume.
2. FREQ- Sets the operating frequency of the Theremin.
3. D. Time (Delay Time)- Adjusts the delay time.
4. D. Level (Delay Volume Control)- Turn the D. Level control to the right to increase the delay volume.
5. Antenna-The antenna controls the pitch of the Theremin. As your hand approaches the antenna, the pitch gets higher. As your hand leaves the antenna, the pitch gets lower.
6. Power (Battery indicator)- Indicates that the battery is engaged. The brightness of the indicator shows the status of the battery life.
7. Output jack- Connect one end of an instrument cable to the input of an amplifier and the other end to the output of the Theremin.

How to use the HIWATT Echo Theremin:

1. Make sure that your amplifier or mixer is turned off, and set it's volume to zero.
2. Plug one end of your instrument cable into the jack on the Echo Theremin (this turns the Theremin on, so be sure to remove the cable when you are finished using it to extend battery life), and the other end of the cable into the amplifier or mixer's input jack.
3. Turn on the amplifier or mixer. (Leave the amp or mixer volume at zero!)
4. Turn the Theremin's level knob to the middle position and the FREQ knob all the way to the right.
5. Turn the amplifier or mixer volume to a comfortable level. You'll hear a very high pitched tone.
6. Now, slowly turn the FREQ knob back toward the 12 o' clock position and stop just where you hear no sound. Your HIWATT Echo Theremin is now set up for easy operation. Go ahead and experiment with different hand movements and knob positions. You can also touch the dome to get different sounds.
7. Experiment! Try the HIWATT Echo theremin with a Wah Wah pedal, Octave Divider, Ring Modulator or whatever other effects you can think of!

Title / Sound	Play	Format	Recording Time	File Size
1. BASIC TECHNIQUE Here’s a good example of basic Theremin technique: move your hand closer to the Theremin’s dome, and the pitch raises. Move your hand away, and the pitch drops. The “laser” or “chirp” sounds are made by actually touching the dome. The delay time setting is at zero in this demo.		Quick Time	0:15	1.4 MB
2. CHANGING THE DELAY TIMES WHILE PLAYING This clip lets you hear some of the sounds you can create by changing the delay times while playing the Echo-Theremin. To do this, simply adjust the delay time knob (as shown here) on the Echo-Theremin while playing.		Quick Time	0:23	2.1 MB
3. LASERS The Echo-Theremin can produce killer “laser” sounds. All you have to do is touch the dome as shown here. Notice the Echo-Theremin’s delay feature, which adds a really cool and cheesy “Sci-Fi” vibe.		Quick Time	0:04	464 KB
4. VARIOUS TECHNIQUES It’s incredibly easy to make amazing sounds with the HIWATT Echo-Theremin. Check out the pitch swells, lasers, and siren sounds in this clip. Now just imagine the sounds you can create with it!		Quick Time	0:18	1.6 MB
5. WARPED DELAYS Super cool “Sci-Fi” sounds are easy to create by simply adjusting the delay time and changing your hand position at the same time.		Quick Time	0:18	1.6 MB
6. WAH WAH Amazing “vocal” sounding effects are easy to create by using the Echo-Theremin with a Wah Wah pedal. Also, you can add the Echo-Theremin’s built in delay for even more craziness!		Quick Time	0:15	1.4 MB
7. OCTAVE Here the player is using an Octave box with the Echo-Theremin to create pitches 1 octave below the normal pitch to create huge and interesting PHAT sounds.		Quick Time	0:09	732 KB
8. RING MODULATOR Land that spaceship! Using a ring modulator with the Echo-Theremin, you can create sounds that will just plain blow your mind, like the example here!		Quick Time	0:12	1.2 MB
