A revolutionary theremin instrument sound takes shape through magnetic innovation.
The theremin instrument sound universe is expanding with groundbreaking technology. Just as we’ve seen artificial intelligence reshape music creation, FLUX by Soma Laboratory introduces a magnetic approach to gestural sound control.
During my time at CCRMA, I experimented with gesture-controlled instruments, often drawing inspiration from the theremin’s ethereal sound. The countless hours spent waving my hands in the air, trying to hit the right notes, gave me a deep appreciation for any innovation making these instruments more approachable.
Revolutionizing the Theremin Instrument Sound
Soma Laboratory has just unleashed FLUX, a mind-bending evolution of the theremin instrument sound. Unlike traditional theremins, this beauty uses magnetic sensors and handheld bows to create otherworldly sounds. It’s like having a musical Force at your fingertips!
The magic happens through a multipolar magnetic sensor system. Your right hand controls pitch and volume, while the left hand shapes up to twelve independent sound parameters. Together, they give you sixteen sonic controls without touching a single surface. That’s some serious musical wizardry!
But wait, there’s more! FLUX comes with crystal-clear note markers (goodbye, pitch anxiety!), works in multiple voice modes, and rocks custom-designed DACs for pristine sound quality. At $1,300, it’s bringing professional theremin instrument sound into the future.
Shape Your Sonic Future
The evolution of electronic music continues to amaze us with innovations like FLUX. Whether you’re a seasoned theremin player or curious about gestural control, this instrument opens new possibilities for expression. What sounds would you create with magnetic control?
