Zeppelin Design Labs Altura MKII Theremin Review

musictech.com

The Altura Mk II Theremin MIDI Controller offers a unique blend of traditional theremin playability and modern MIDI functionality, making it an intriguing choice for adventurous musicians. While its compact design and flexible setup options are appealing, the reliance on MIDI may alienate purists seeking the authentic theremin experience. The controller demands a learning curve and redefines playing techniques, pushing players to adjust their approach. However, for those willing to experiment and explore its capabilities, the Altura can produce impressive results. Ultimately, this device stands out as a fun and accessible option, but may not satisfy everyone’s expectations of a theremin.
