Hi all.
I just finished putting together a Moog Etherwave kit. It is my first Theremin.
I was of course quite excited to play it when I got done putting everything together, but when I plugged it in, there was a problem. Instead of a tone, all I get is a series of pops. They are grouped two at a time, are steadily rhythmic, and appear at the same volume and intensity regardless of knob position or proximity to the antennae.
I have triple-checked my wiring and as far as I can tell, everything is fine. I don't see any loops or shorts, and everything seems to be connected to the proper places.
I have never done this, or anything remotely like it, before, and I honestly have no idea what the problem might be.
Any ideas? I can make a recording of the noises if that might help.
Thank you.
