Introducing the ET-4 continuous pitch analog synthesizer

The ET-4 continues where the ET-3 Electro-Theremin left off. The instrument has been updated with new features and the playing interface has been completely redesigned to be more accurate and expressive. Inspired by the Ondes Martenot's "au ruban" controller, pitch is controlled by moving an adjustable finger-ring while amplitude is controlled by two pressure-sensitive keys. The ET-4 can interface with external synthesizer gear through Control Voltage (CV) outputs for the ring controller and amplitude keys. A wide range of sounds can be created with the ET-4's dual analog oscillators, each with 6 waveforms and 6 octave positions, along with low-pass filtering and real spring reverb. The ET-4 plugs directly into an amplifier and has a separate output for a tuner, for easy and silent tuning changes. Every ET-4 is made in Canada and hand crafted from FSC certified wood.
