Because the Garageband dialogs don't post numeric values, I can't give you the exact settings I used. The first thing we need to do is adjust the settings for our generator:ģ) The Analog Mono generator includes a "Glide" setting which controls a glissando between contiguous series of notes, an effect both ideal and essential for a decent theremin sound. From here, we'll add several effect layers to produce our instrument.
There are other ways to pitch your vocals in. You can adjust by how many semi-tones the vocals have been increased from 0 to 12. Select Pitch from the drop-down menu, and then Pitch Shifter. You can't change anything really critical until the track is created, so hit the "Create" button.Ģ) Re-open the "Track Info" window by double-clicking the track. To pitch vocals in Garageband, select the vocal track that you want to change, and then go down into its plug-ins in the Smart Control section. It doesn't matter which one (you can find out which instruments use this generator by expanding the "Details" arrow). Within the Effects section, tick the Enable Audio Units checkbox. To get your SoundFont files to work in GarageBand 10, follow these steps: Launch GarageBand and open your project. Then pick an instrument out of the synth categories that uses the "Analog Mono" generator. Using SoundFont (SF2) files in GarageBand v10. Here's a more condensed version which should allow you to create a similar effect:ġ) In GarageBand, create a new track, you should receive the dialog which allows you to choose an instrument for the track. Freeware version, fully functional & supported. This is a particular & original soft distortion/overdrive that can increase the transients/shape. It took a bit of muddling about to create my own theremin. It implements the famous Tarabia Indian Distortion algorithm (originally created in 2018). However, for those of us who just want to pump out a few notes to make a cheesy sci-fi joke, a reasonable facsimile can be created using GarageBand. Because of the way the theremin is played (see the Wikipedia article for more information), the sound is hard to properly emulate with synthesizers.
However, a real theremin costs upwards of a thousand bucks. Traditional theremins are still available from popular synth manufacturers. The theremin, a musical instrument which uses radio waves to produce an eerie whistle-like sound which we associate heavily with campy 1950's-era Sci-Fi movies. Almost everyone with some exposure to western culture has heard a theremin before, they probably just don't know what it's called. When Deirdre and I started writing " Captain" for our lyrics class assignment, we knew that a song about a defunct Sci-Fi actor would simply have to feature the theremin. Some adjustment may be required for modern versions of GarageBand. The original tutorial is provided as-is herewith. Shockingly, the instrument still works after all these years (probably because its generator is so simple). My website logs show that someone was looking for my now-11-year-old tutorial on making a theremin in GarageBand.
