A new toy for the theremin

What? A new toy for the theremin? Why is that?

When I made the “Bridge over troubled water” recording, I noticed that there were a few sounds and effects I wanted to add that weren’t there.

The synth-box by E-Harmonix wasn’t up to the task so I asked around and I found this. The Zoom A1 Four. It’s nifty!

Someone suggested an alternative, the Korg Pandora Stomp box, but that wasn’t available anywhere.

Okay, except on Ebay. That Korg being a model on the way out, I didn’t feel like pursuing that, so the Zoom came in.

It is, as I said, nifty. It has lots of settings and effects. Some seem to be quite equal to each other, especially the guitar ones, but they all have their own, distinct sound, also on the Theremin.

I’ve tried to make a bit of a video to demonstrate the options and sounds of the Zoom A1 but that didn’t work very well. I’ll get back to that when I’ve figure out the device more, and I actually know what I’m doing. ;-)
