Theremin
The deal
$16.25 at Loot Audio (down from $25.00), 35% off. This sale runs through August 21, 2026.
What it is
Theremin by Om Infinite Sound is a virtual instrument that emulates the sound and playing gesture of a classic theremin without any hardware. Instead of two antennas responding to hand position, the plugin gives you an on-screen performance field where the horizontal axis bends pitch and the vertical axis controls volume, just like moving your hands near a real theremin. A full modulation section sits on top of that core gesture, letting you shape the tone from a faithful vintage theremin sound into modern pads and sci-fi leads.
Who it's for
Sound designers and composers who want an expressive, gesture-controlled lead for film, TV, and game scoring, plus producers looking for an eerie, glide-heavy texture that's hard to get from a standard keyboard-controlled synth.
Key features
- Play it two ways at once, click-and-drag inside the on-screen performance field with a mouse, or trigger notes from a MIDI keyboard where note number sets pitch and the mod wheel controls volume
- The modulation section adds vibrato, timbre shaping, a resonant filter, a noise layer for analog grit, an amplitude envelope, delay, and reverb
- Pitch range and release time are both adjustable, so you can dial in anything from tight glissandi to long, fading swells
- Ships as a VST3 plugin for Windows and macOS
