"I'll be Bach." Stop the presses! Load up the inkwells! For it's the return of one of the first --if not the first-- instruments made for iOS: the infamous "pocket theremin" is back!.
Thereminator 2 is Available Now on the App Store! Compatible with iOS & Apple Silicon.
Scary Monster(s)
The original Thereminator brought creeping flesh to the infant iPhone back in 2008. A lot has changed since those années folles, however, and so has Thereminator. The all-new Thereminator 2 has evolved into a bona fide touch controlled virtual theremin with ample helpings of tone, expression, versatility, and technology.
With its onscreen MPE-style controller, brand new sound engine with fat analog tones, and many other advanced features, Thereminator 2 is more monsterous than ever. Just select your wave and start the horror show!
AUv3, Silicon Support & More
Thereminator 2 is also an AUv3 instrument plugin now. Using a special adaptation of the MPE protocol, the new Thereminator is ready to inject its eerie sounds directly into your DAW, whether on your iPhone, iPad or Apple Silicon powered computer. So stop lurking in Dark Shadows, and get ready to deploy Plan 9!
Packed with Pro Features
Thereminator 2 comes with over 50 factory presets to start you off on your Sci-Fi sound track, as well as many other advanced features like patch save/share, MIDI learn, and more. Built-in custom chorus and tape delay FX help fatten up those smooth theremin tones, while the touch controller's vertical expression options add dimension to your playing. Check it out!
