Hello TW! :-)
I bought a Moog Etherwave Plus Kit, but it hasn't arrived yet.
In order to play as soon as possible I have some questions that should be answered:
1) I read a post about black color being bad for the theremin sound. Is that true? Does that only apply for paint or also for stain?
That standard ash doesn't please me that much and I'd like to have a darker look, it transitions better into the control panel.
2) I have no clue about synthesizers, for sound signals on my soundcard I know green=out, red=mic.
Can I just plug my Theremin into my soundcard or any speaker to hear it? Because some people say that you need an amp with at least 40W, which costs another 150€+. I really hesitated to buy the Theremin with its 519€ so I don't want to pay on additional things not desperately needed...
3) The EW+ has pitch preview. Is that always good to have on while playing? I mean for the first pitch or after breaks its wonderful to know if you are off, but besides that is it a nuisance in my ears? If so, I thought about turning the signal off after the first seconds.
Is there any cheap and handy thing, that can do this (maybe with your feets)?
Sorry about some noob questions, last time I played an instrument was in my childhood. I'm learning music notes again atm. ;-)
Thanks for help!
