WaveFront Audio Sixteen Channel Spectral Vocoder & Channel Manager (Moog/Bode clone)



via this auction

You can find demos in previous posts here.

"This is a new design built around the original vintage Moog/Bode machine. This is a new demo unit we have - which was the first one ever built. It works beautifully and sounds amazing. BOTH units are included in the price. It has been fully tested and sounds awesome. It does have some slight cosmetic wear from being shown at a couple of trade shows. As far as we can tell, this is the ONLY one in the United States currently.

This system sounds better and does way more than the new Moog reissues."

through the amount set manually and the added control voltage inputs.

Five different shift bands are available.

In EXP. position, a one volt increase at the control sum

doubles the amount of the

frequency shift.

The side bands, created by the Bode Frequency Shifter

would shift to the incoming audio signal.

In linear modes 4 different scales are available:
1. +/- 5Hz;
2. +/- 50 Hz;
3. +/- 500 Hz;
4. +/- 5 KHz.

These scale positions go through zero shifting.

It's a REAL one!

Wavefront Classic Theremin

via this auction
Comes with a tiny mug.

"One of the few concert quality Theremins still made in the world today. None of them, as beautiful as this walnut encased classic machine, built to recreate the iconic RCA Theremin sounds of the 1930's. This is as close to that famous timbre as you can get, without the hassle of using rare, unreliable tubes and high voltages. When this innovative instrument (the only instrument in the world you play by NOT touching it) first appeared to the public, people fainted in churches where they were performed, believing they were hearing the voices of angels.
Many early science fiction films featured RCA Theremins for their eerie soundtracks and experimental compositions. And if you're a fan of Clara Rockmore, you know this instrument can also perform an amazing repertoire of music in the right hands-- literally. Add guitar / FX pedals to modulate the output for special effects, or attach a MIDI device for controlling other MIDI instruments and synths (MIDI Theremin controller available on Wavefront's Site). The possibilities are endless. This model is so gorgeous and well crafted, it deserves a place on stage to showcase your theremin skills to the world.
