  • Page 2 Therevox designs and builds musical instruments in Tecumseh Ontario Canada. The ET-5 was designed by Mike Beauchamp with guidance from Melissa Damphouse and with heaps of support from friends, family and strangers on the internet. Thank you to every customer that has supported Therevox since 2004.

    The ET-5 is a continuous pitch analog instrument. Sounds are produced by two oscillators, each producing six different waveforms. A variable saturation circuit, low-pass filter and spring reverb allow for further sonic goodness. The pitch of the instrument is controlled by the ring and the amplitude of each oscillator is controlled by the pressure sensitive intensity keys.

  • Page 6: Tuning

    If an expression pedal is connected to the ET-5, There is a hidden tuner underneath the cutoff bend 2 its function can be switched between filter fingerboard. Hold your ring finger over the tuning cutoff and bending the pitch of oscillator 2.

    oscillators Sine Wave Master tuning for both oscillators is controlled by Triangle Wave the tune knob. The pitch of oscillator 2 can be tune offset independently using the osc 2 tune control Rectified Sine to any harmonic interval of oscillator 1. Saw Tooth For each oscillator there are six octave positions and six waveform options.

    Reverberation is generated by sending the sound produces brighter sounds as you play lower pitches. through a series of springs inside the ET-5. The Higher pitched notes will have a brighter timbre with reverb blend controls the amount of reverberated sound.
  • Page 9: Power And Outputs

    The ET-5 is powered by a 16VAC 2000mA adapter. An expression pedal can be plugged into the exp in jack of the ET-5. Use a 1/4" TRS plug with an appropriate pedal, such as the Therevox Midi is transmitted through a 5-pin DIN interface and the USB port.

    patch panel example patches Assigning a performance control to a parameter is done by plugging a patch cable Assign any performance control to any parameter between the corresponding CV output and input. An example would be to make with the patch panel. Built-in utilities enable the fingerboard pressure control the filter cutoff by patching press cutoff.
  • Page 11: Midi And Usb

    The ET-5 transmits MIDI messages over USB and standard 5-pin DIN serial connection. This instrument is handcrafted out of North American black walnut Messages are sent across two separate MIDI channels, one for each intensity key.
