Hello!
I just got my Moog Etherwave Plus today, and I was really excited!
However, I'm at a loss. I watched several videos, read several forum posts, but for some reason, I can't get the tuning right.
The pitch field is really small, even when the pitch knob is turned all the way to the left - it's roughly 25-30cm wide, and it only gets smaller as I move the knob around.
I tried moving the theremin around, putting it in a spot where there was nothing within at least 2 meters around it (or above and below it), but it didn't change anything.
Firstly: I'm a complete newbie. I've read words such as "amplifier" and all sorts of stuff, and I simply don't know what it means in this context. I'm sorry if this is tedious to adepts, but I don't know where to turn or who to ask
Now, I have some ideas as to what could be wrong, but I don't know how to test it or what to do:
Maybe it's my phones? I plugged in a pair of headphones. The headphones have a 3,5mm audio jack and I plugged them into an adapter (do you call it that?) that fit into the input for the phones on the theremin. Is this wrong? Should I use something else?
Maybe it has something to do with power? I'm from Europe so I plugged it into my 230V power socket using the power-adapter provided with the theremin. The plug has two legs, but the manual says something about the connection having to be grounded - should it have three legs? Am I doing something wrong with the power?
I'm at a loss as I said.
