To configure MIDI outputs from your Theremini, first connect it to your computer using a mini USB cable. Depending on your DAW, you might need to set it up as a MIDI device. After doing this, the Theremini should automatically transmit MIDI data from each of its antennae.
By default, the Theremini will transmit MIDI CC 2 from the volume antenna and CC 20 from the pitch antenna. However, you can modify these to any MIDI CC by pressing the SETUP button on the Theremini and then navigating to the MIDI CV Setup window. From there, you have the option to adjust the CC for each antenna as well as change the resolution from 7 bit to 14 bit if you wish.
Your DAW should automatically receive MIDI CC information whenever your hands enter the field of one of the antennae. Then, utilize the mapping function within your DAW to assign these to any parameter you desire. For instructions on how to do this, refer to the manual for your specific DAW.
Remember that the Theremini does not transmit Notes, only MIDI CCs.
