To change the function of the Headphone Output to pitch preview, follow these steps:
• Disconnect the Etherwave Plus from the power adapter.
• Remove the Etherwave Plus cover.
• Touch a grounded surface to discharge any static electric charge that may be built up on your hands before touching
any components inside.
• Looking at the vertically mounted PCB (p/n 11-213) located between the panel and the standard Etherwave theremin
PCB (p/n 11-211), find where the Audio Output jack is plugged into the PCB - this connector is labeled J8. Unplug this
connection.
• Underneath this connection is a 3-pin connector labeled J6 with a jumper connecting the pin closest to the center of
the unit to the middle pin of the connector. Move this jumper to connect the middle pin to the pin closest to the output
jacks.
• Now reconnect the Audio Output to the 11-213 PCB, and reinstall the instrument’s cover.
The following image shows the location of the jumper:
Now the Headphone Output delivers a pitch preview output to a pair of stereo headphones. With this modification
the performer can monitor the current pitch with headphones even when the left hand is shutting off the Audio Output.
The performer can then play the desired frequency with the right hand before articulating the note with the left hand.
This can be very useful in studio or even live situations where pitch accuracy is required at the onset of the note played.
