Studio Electronics ATC-1 Demos

A few videos sent my way via Mr. Array. Note a couple of these are just still images for the audio demo. The ARP Little bother in the first vid is not what you are hearing; it's the ATC-1 that you hear.

Bach Little Prelude BWV 934


"Ok, the last one. I apologize for the mistakes, but that's what I could record while I'm at home recovering from a cold. I played a Studio Electronics ATC-1 from the CME UF6, with Lexicon PCM-60 reverb, Echo indigo I/O, Cubase, iSight with iMovieHD."

Playng with a monophonic Synth


YouTubes via marcelojohann. I actually found this one checking out the rest of his videos and thought I'd include it. Be sure to check out the rest.
"This is a music of my own, actually a simple theme that I like and keep improvising over, but it has no defined begin, ending or structure. Here I'm playing it on a monophonic synth, interleaving notes and using a lot of reverb to give them sustain..."

Studio Electronics SE-1


YouTube via chriszanf.
"This is my SE-1. Im just messing about with a simple bassline and 1 bar of drums. There was only 1 other video of an SE-1 and that was broken/munted but still played. [its in the 'related' below] Ill post more later as Ive just got my studio together finally!!"

  1. i used to have 2 studio electronics atc-1s. i used them mainly to convert midi for my sh-101s.

    anyway, ive heard so many songs that blatantly use the presets (as in holding the root note for a whole measure every fourth measure).

    it's a wierd circumstance, it's a great synth but the crazy presets are always abused by shitty producers.

    blarrrnnnnn! blarrrnnn! blarrrnnnn!

  2. I'm the author of the first audio/video where I play the ATC-1. Just to highlight that the purpose of the tests was to demo how you can play complete compositions with bass and melody in a monophonic synth. While I am using the pressets (sorry Convoythecat), I am trying to explore the idea that these instruments are good for complex performances, like in classical concerts, and not only that "regular" solo stuff...

  3. marcelo, i was in no way critisizing your use of the synth. i was just stating that there is a lot of producers out there that use the atc-1 like an analog shotgun. i just put it out there thinking maybe some other se atc-1 users noticed this.

    a lot of them are project or remix producers that are payed pretty well. exploring your synth and sharing is totally different.

    thank you and screw them

  4. Thanx, Convoy! I got that. And I was trying to add that, as important as exploring different sounds is to treat the synth as a musical instrument, which I think is rather rare. I fully agree with you, people use synth as a shotgun, and even the best keyboardists usually concentrate in solo/baseline concepts instead of treating a synth like, say, a violin, exploring subtle and expressive melodies...
