Hi,

Please forgive me if this is a no-brainer...

I've been considering getting a theremin for some time now.

I'm particularly interested in being able to get a pure sine output, in addition to any coloration with harmonics. I've been playing a lot with signal generators to create dense tone clusters with complex beating patterns during deep listening excerises. I would like to be able to layer a more dynamic line on top of the tone clusters without being limited to the interface of a piece of test gear; a theremin seemed perfect in every regard.

I had always assumed that a theremin would naturally be able to output a pure sine tone, but reading the manual etc. on the Etherwave left me uncertain -- is it possible to use the brightness/waveform etc. controls to get a *completely* unmodulated sine output?

A truly pure sine waveform is important for the specific things I'm doing these days -- I know it's not necessarily what most people would want most of the time.

So my question is, is this possible with a stock Etherwave?

If not, any pointers or suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Thanks and best regards,
Aaron Ximm

You're right.
