Teenage Engineering Gisela Choir Doll: Wooden Singing Module with Internal Speaker, MIDI & BLE Compatibility

About this item

• melodic algorithm – the pre-programmed repertoire of classic songs have been created and performed using an algorithm based on counterpoint melody, a compositional technique that refers to the independent but complementary relationship between two or more lines of melody played at the same time.
• The collection—drawn from diverse cultures and distinct personalities around the globe, every doll possesses its own individuality and vocal quality. Although each doll is assigned a specific voice type, any single doll has the ability to adjust its vocal capabilities to deliver a captivating solo performance. When multiple choir members are assembled, irrespective of the arrangement, they interact with one another and identify the vocalists within their range, creating a rich choral experience together.
• hands on experience – to get the choir started, they need a helping hand. a sensor inside the speaker module reacts to vibration and movement, so controlling choir is a playful experience in itself. gently tap the doll on its head or on the table to trigger play or pause, or tilt the doll left or right to decrease or increase the volume accordingly. if it gets annoying, it can handle a little smack to turn it off.
• midi compatibility – this is where the magic really happens. conduct your choir with OP–1 field, OP–Z, or any midi keyboard with bluetooth connectivity. or connect an ortho remote for wireless control. connecting one doll pairs the whole choir, instantly singing the notes in your composition. as with any live performance, each set will be a one-of-a-kind experience.
• meet the choir – eight wooden dolls made to serenade you with a repertoire of choral classics as well as perform your own original compositions through midi over ble. each doll is handcrafted from solid beech and individually polished with hard wax oil. at the centre of each doll is a magical speaker module which also functions as the cpu and ble transmitter, removable and rechargeable with up to 4 hours of performance time.
