* The [[Ondes Martenot]], 1928, also uses the principle of heterodyning oscillators, but has a keyboard as well as a slide controller and is touched while playing.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thomasbloch.net/en_ondes-martenot.html|title=ONDES MARTENOT **** THOMAS BLOCH – the instrument : videos, pictures, works, facts...|last=Bloch|first=Thomas|author-link=Thomas Bloch|access-date=11 March 2010}}</ref>
* The Electronde, invented in 1929 by Martin Taubman, has an [[Antenna (radio)|antenna]] for [[Pitch (music)|pitch]] control, a handheld switch for [[Articulation (music)|articulation]] and a foot pedal for volume control.<ref>[http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=11280 Taubman demonstrates his Electronde.

* The [[Croix Sonore]] (Sonorous Cross), is based on the theremin. It was developed by Russian composer [[Nikolai Obukhov|Nicolas Obouchov]] in France, after he saw Lev Theremin demonstrate the theremin in 1924.
* The [[terpsitone]], also invented by Theremin, consisted of a platform fitted with space-controlling antennas, through and around which a dancer would control the musical performance. By most accounts, the instrument was nearly impossible to control. Of the three instruments built, only the last one, made in 1978 for Lydia Kavina, survives today.
* The [[Z.Vex Effects]] Fuzz Probe, Wah Probe and Tremolo Probe, using a theremin to control said effects. The Fuzz Probe can be used as a theremin, as it can through feedback oscillation create tones of any pitch.
* The [[MC-505]] by Roland by being able to use the integrated [[D-Beam]]-sensor like a theremin.
* The [[Audiocubes]] by Percussa are light emitting smart blocks that have four sensors on each side (optical theremin). The sensors measure the distance to your hands to control an effect or sound.<ref>{{cite web| title = Create Optical Theremin using Percussa AudioCubes| url = http://land.percussa.com/create-optical-theremin-using-audiocubes/| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121014200447/http://land.percussa.com/create-optical-theremin-using-audiocubes/| archive-date = 2012-10-14}}</ref>
* A [[three radio theremin]] (Super Theremin, {{lang|ja|[[:ja:スーパーテレミン|スーパーテレミン]]}}) invented by Tomoya Yamamoto ({{lang|ja|山本智矢}}), composed of three independent radio sets. Radio set #1 is to listen and to record the signal at around 1600{{nbsp}}[[kHz]]. Radio set #2 is tuned at 1145{{nbsp}}kHz so that its local oscillator of around 1600{{nbsp}}kHz is to be received by radio set #1. Radio set #3 is also tuned at 1145{{nbsp}}kHz so that its local oscillator may produce the beat with radio set #2. The operator's hand movement around the bar antenna of radio set #3 may affect the local oscillator to produce tonal change.<ref>{{cite web| title= Super Theremin utilizing three radio sets| url= http://www3.kiwi-us.com/~tomoyaz/higa9902.html#990228}}</ref>{{primary source inline|date=July 2023}}
* The Matryomin by Masami Takeuchi is a single-antenna theremin-type device mounted inside a [[matryoshka doll]].<ref>{{cite web| title= Mandarin Electronics: Matryomin| url= http://www.mandarinelectron.com/matryomin/}}</ref>
* The ''Chimaera'' is a digital offspring of theremin and touchless ribbon controller and based on distance sensing of permanent magnets. An array of linear [[Hall-effect]] sensors, each acting as an individual theremin in a changing magnetic field, responds to multiple moving neodymium magnets worn on fingers and forms a continuous interaction space in two dimensions.<ref>{{multiref2|1={{cite web| title=Chimaera, the poly-magneto-phonic theremin| url=http://open-music-kontrollers.ch/chimaera/about/| access-date=2014-02-18| archive-date=2016-07-22| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160722063107/https://open-music-kontrollers.ch/chimaera/about/| url-status=dead}}
