StepPolyArp for iPad controlling an Oberheim FVS

StepPolyArp for iPad controlling an Oberheim FVS from Logan Mannstrane on Vimeo.

follow-up to this post where you'll find the specs.
"Just a quick demo to show this awesome iPad application. The StepPolyArp iPad application hooks up wirelessly to a Windows or OSX computer. I currently have the StepPolyArp app talking with Logic Pro that then drives a Doepfer MCV24 to go from midi to CV and Gate. The Oberheim is being triggered in Unison for all 4 Voices on every step. Each voice is being panned right/left to create a nice stereo effect with a total of 8 oscillators.

The perfect companion for any analogue synth.

Audio signal path is:

Oberheim FVS==>Eventide 2016==>Prism Orpheus AD

iPad STEP POLY ARP Preview! Control your synth wirelessly


VJFranzK | October 12, 2010

"Control your laptop or synth by wireless MIDI! Full review coming soon...

This app transmits note patterns wirelessly to your computer*, or soon, via MIDI cable, with the MIDI Mobilizer peripheral, to any MIDI capabable source. (*Of course you can also then route the MIDI through your computer to any MIDI out port.)

I thought there should be an App that does this... and here it is! Very handy for the serious electronic musician.
(Beginners should probably start on one of several "all in one" apps - not that there's anything wrong with that!)

The set up was easier than any wireless control app I have tried. Just follow the directions
(more general in focus than the 2 Ableton specific Apps, much easier to set up and feature rich than the OSC apps.)"

"Another demo by Terry Ahrens showing laser galvos connected to a Synthesis Technology E350 Morphing Terrarium. Module info is here: http://www.analoguehaven.com/synthesi..."

via Paul Schreiber on the AH list:
"Note that when Terry mentions "..the E350 is the filter..." this is referring to what is used to drive the galvos (the E350 os a VCO in reality). Normally, envelope-detected audio is used as the "filter" and the galvos are swept by quadrature triangles (like a CRT raster sweep).

For those interested in replicating this setup: I will ask what galvos he is using and what they cost/where to buy. Note several important things:

a) in the US, this sort of laser projector CANNOT be used in public unless under very STRICT requirements.
b) professional "off the shelf" XY galvo pairs w/drive electronics and power supply can run $1500. The galvos can require 3A peak each, and the moving mass/inertia is large. The galvos are usually mounted on 1/4 in steel plates (called optical plates) and then inside a matte black steel box weighing 10kg/25lbs to keep vibration 'errors' to a minimum. The box keeps spurious laser deflections from "flying around the room" . These galvos are also very fast and very accurate: they can move to 30,000 individual positions per second (the mirrors usually have 45-55 degrees total travel) at 0.05 degree accuracy.

Thanks again to Terry Ahrens for setting this up and making the videos.

Playlist:

208 lightshow
November 28, 2009
"208 Random circuit triggering Modcan delay, Verbos' 258 VCO, Noise Ring, Teezer & VCS.
VCS clocks the 208, & a CGS Utility LFO modulates pretty much everything else."

Low Pass Gate & Buchla 258
November 28, 2009
"Saw version of Mark Verbos' 258 clone through a 292c LPG. Modulated by Noise Ring, Teezer, joystick."

Isle of the Dead
December 05, 2009
"Wogglebug, 258, 208, 292c, Modcan delay, Noise Ring & Jerkster horror music"

Teezer VS Verbos 258
December 27, 2009
"I got some 10-turn pots & made some panels, now they are a lot easier to control. This clip is the 2 VCO's cross-modulating while being modulated by Utility LFO, wogglebug, Noise Ring."

Teezer VS Verbos 258 (#2)
December 27, 2009
"A while later, something resembling music..."

Friday 15th
January 15, 2010
"Double Well Chaos, CGS Utility LFO & VCS, 208 Random, 258, 292c, Teezer, Jerkster, Noise Ring.
Some of the bassline is the decay of the low pass gate being 'warbled' by the Utility LFO between each clock cv it receives from the 208."

300 drone/chords YouTube via isledemort | August 09, 2010

"1 of 2 videos using the same patch, this one using a Bugbrand CTL-1 touch voltage source to play chords/drone. Many audio sources from 5 300 series modules can be heard (dual Envelator, VCO waves, Waveform City, Wogglebug & sub-oscillators from the Mixolator)."

300 clocked

isledemort | August 09, 2010

"2nd of 2 videos using the same patch, this time the 300 is being clocked by the Bugbrand CTL-1's 4 step sequencer, which is in turn being clocked by a Noise Ring."

Winter's end

isledemort | September 28, 2010

"The sound is mostly Wiard 300 modules, along with a diy buchla 258 vco (bassline)"

A VCS moment

YouTube via isledemort | August 23, 2009

"Testing out a CGS VCS, which is being modulated by an Ian Fritz Jerkster, an envelope generator & a Noise Ring. The VCS in turn modulates a Plague Bearer's VC inputs.
The output is heard from the Plague Bearer."

Teezer TZ-VCO #2

isledemort | September 07, 2009

"2nd video testing out a 'Teezer' Through Zero VCO, designed by Ian Fritz (this time with better sound quality). Various settings are explored, with modulation by Wiard Noise Ring, #3 Wogglebug, Plague Bearer & Jerkster."
