To commemorate the theremin’s 100th anniversary, Moog Music introduces Claravox Centennial—a celebration of the theremin’s past, present, and future. Claravox Centennial draws on the company’s decades of experience building electronic musical instruments that honor the beauty and simplicity of legacy circuitry while continuing to innovate with cutting-edge technology.
Switchable Traditional and Modern performance modes allow players to select between classic heterodyne analog oscillators and multimode DSP oscillators (sine, triangle, saw, wavetable) with assignable scales, quantization, and octave ranges. An analog wave-shaping circuit (derived from the legendary Etherwave Pro) imbues ethereal sonic character and empowers rich sound-sculpting possibilities, and the on-board analog BBD delay creates a wash of spiraling echoes and resounding warmth.
The instrument is available for pre-order today, October 22, with units expected to begin shipping in December 2020.
