This video shows the soon to be released telePort Control App in its iPhone form.
On the side the iPad version is also running - which will be the focus point of the upcoming release video - but the focus here is on using the phone as
a controller for an instrumentalist doing live looping music with telePort.
Earlier videos have focused much more on the live sequencing (synth) ways of using telePort. This video tries to show how that way can meet with this way, and hints at that there's really no reason why only One person should be playing with a computer running telePort at a time :)
A ridiculous 16 iOS devices can be connected to a single computer running telePort, and they will each and all show what is being done on any one of them.
telePort is a live performance oriented music program that will shortly be made available in its next level prototype form for Mac and Windows - along with the Universal App.
It lets you integrate hardware and software instruments as one advanced combined, programmable and morphable instrument.
Bringing a modular approach to (augmented) sequencing and mixing while at the same making it easy switching between completely different songs/tracks, or changing the modules up independently as the music is playing.
The goal being creating a very flexible music system where you can have a whole set, not just a song, at your fingertips and improvise or play structured parts based on rules you define freely."

"Art it up ! (Clavia Nord Modular G2 - Algorithmic music)
Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this movie and this music. The music has been made using a Clavia Nord Modular. Enjoy !"

"This iconic synthesizer made famous by bands like Depeche Mode is truly a wonder to behold. Lush pads and punchy warm lead tones arc and whisper at every key touch. Simply tap in a patch number of 1-99 and away you’ll fly. Don’t let the few dirty potentiometers fool you. This synth is in great shape. The Oberheim Matrix 12 was a giant of its time with acoustic thickness to spare. Don’t let this dream synthesizer slip away from your fingers!"

Doepfer A-137 Wave Multiplier

"a-137 is a voltage controlled wave multiplier. the basic idea of a wave multiplier is to multiply the waveform of an incoming signal (e.g. triangle/saw/sine from a vco) within one period of the waveform. this leads to additional harmonics of the incoming signal. the period and consequently the pitch of the signals remains unchanged (in contrast to frequency multiplication e.g. with the pll module . the a-137 works as a kind of "inverse low pass filter", i.e. it adds a lot of harmonics to a signal that contains none or only a few harmonics (e.g. sine or triangle waveform). in contrast to that a low pass filter removes harmonics from a signal that contains a lot of harmonics (e.g. saw or rectangle waveform). consequently the best results are obtained in combination with input signals poor in harmonics (e.g. sine or triangle). the a-137 can be used with signals rich in harmonics too (e.g. saw) but the effect is not as remarkable as for triangle or sine waves. for rectangle signals none or only little effects are obtained.
the a-137 is a very sophisticated wave multiplier that offers much more features, more controls and more waveform manipulations than other wave multipliers available so far. in addition all parameters are both manually adjusted and controlled by external voltages. these are the features of the module:
controls:
* input level (to adjust the input level for best effect of the succeeding controls)
* multiples (number of waveform multiplications, manual control)
* harmonics (additional effect that adds more harmonics similar to the resonance/emphasis control of filters, manual control)
* folding level (controls upper and lower folding level, manual control)
* symmetry (controls symmetry between upper and lower folding level, manual control)
inputs/outputs:
* audio in (also suitable for control signals)
* multiples cv in (with attenuator)
* harmonics cv in (with attenuator)
* folding level cv in (with attenuator)
* symmetry cv in (with attenuator)
* audio out (resp. processed control signal output)
the multiples parameter (manual and ext. cv) defines the number of basic wave multiplications within one period. with the folding level and symmetry parameter (both manual and ext. cv) the upper and lower clipping levels of the wave folder units are controlled. the harmonics parameter (manual and ext. cv) adds some harmonic content by sharpening the waveform edges and adding overshoot peaks. it works a little bit like the resonance control of a vcf. the module is fully dc coupled, i.e. even control signal can be processed with the modules.
as it is a little bit difficult to describe the parameters only by words we have some pictures and audio examples available that explain the function of the module and its parameters.
the level control is used to adjust the the input signal (audio or control signal) to a level that creates the best effects when the 4 parameters of the module are altered. the signal is processed by a vca and 4 so-called wave folding stages. from the parameters folding level and symmetry the upper and folding level is derived for each stage. at the clipping levels the signal is "folded back", i.e. the direction is inverted or the signal is "reflected" at the clipping line. the working principle of the first folding stage is shown in the next picture. as the module contains 4 folding stages up to 8 foldings are possible (4 at the upper and 4 at the lower clipping level).
the incoming signal of each stage is folded back as soon as the signal level goes beyond the upper clipping level resp. is folded up as soon is goes below the lower clipping level users will know this function, indeed the a-137 includes 4 stages similar to. as mentioned above upper and lower clipping level are controlled by the folding level and symmetry controls (both manual and cv controlled). from our point of view these parameters are easier to use than upper and lower clipping level. the internal upper and lower clipping levels are derived by adding resp. subtracting the folding level and symmetry voltages. the vca setting (multiples control) defines the number of wave multiplications or foldings as the multiplications depend upon the level that appears at the folding stages. smaller levels lead to less multiples, higher levels cause more multiples as the folded output signal of the preceeding stage has sufficient level for a subsequent folding in the next stage.
the harmonics control sharpens the waveform slopes and adds some overshoot at the edges - a little bit like the resonance control of a filter. internally the harmonics feature is realized by an additional vca for each folding stage..."

Cyclone Analogic TT303 Bass Bot Roland TB-303 Clone
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The Bass Bot is an analog, monophonic synthesizer and sequencer, an incredible reproduction of one of the most sought-after analog synths ever. The sound is authentic not because of good sampling or modeling, but because it uses identical circuitry - classic transistor-based circuit design, using 21st century technology.
The sequencer uses classic step-entry programming, and stores up to 224 editable patterns, as well as 224 bot-generated preset (non-editable) patterns. The Bass Bot holds 7 songs of up to 127 bars, with everything stored in onboard flash memory - which means it will stay there when you turn the unit off.
The TT-303 is indispensible for acid and techno house music, great for hip-hop, and just a whole lot of fun! Fatboy Slim says "Everybody Needs a 303!" - here is your chance to get one.
Features
Selectable sawtooth or square-wave VCO
24dB 4-pole resonant analog filter
Arpeggiator
Pattern rotation (left or right) one step in time
Copy and Paste pattern banks
Live pitch transpose (1/2-step up or down), live accent, and live slide (portamento)
MIDI In, or MIDI In and Out with provided splitter cable"
