Tuning each antenna is an important part of
being able to perform on your Claravox Cen-
tennial with precision, while achieving the
highest order of control. Please note that all
theremins are sensitive to their immediate sur-
roundings, and these tuning steps should be
performed every time you turn the unit on and
get ready to play. As you and Claravox Cen-
tennial become more acquainted, performing
these tuning steps will become second nature to
your theremin experience.
In order to tune up correctly, power up the in-
strument and allow 20 minutes for the circuits
to warm up. Begin with the
PERFORMANCE
switch set to the
TRADITIONAL
position. Set
the
FILTER
knob to its maximum (full clock-
wise) position. Set the
WAVE
and
BRIGHT-
NESS
knobs to their midpoint (12 o'clock
position). Also, set the
DELAY
knob to its min-
imum value (fully counterclockwise).
NOTE: A more complete explanation of adjust-
ing the response of each antenna can be found
later in this manual on page 34.
Tuning the Volume Antenna
Refer to Figure 5
Begin with the
VOLUME ANTENNA
knob
in the midpoint (12 o'clock position) and your
volume hand floating just above the Volume
Antenna so that no sound is heard. Move your
volume hand up and down at varied speeds and
notice the way Claravox Centennial responds
to these changes in volume. Using your pitch
hand, turn the
VOLUME ANTENNA
knob
counterclockwise to introduce slower, smooth-
er dynamics and clockwise to experience faster
dynamics approaching a staccato style.
Once you have found the setting that best suits
your personal playing style and the music be-
ing performed, move your hand away from the
