I was talking to drew of drewtoothpaste (see some of his synth videos previously posted here) about MIDI boxes with preferably two MIDI inputs that allowed you to input MIDI Clock and note ON/OFF, that could then output a MIDI or CV stream of arpeggiated notes. We talked about using MIDI mergers, the Oberheim Perf series came to mind, and specifically the Oberheim Cyclone. I did a quick search on it and found cassiel's Gearhead Space. I realized I hadn't put up a post on cassiel yet, so here it is. Do check it out. It's an excellent resource with quite a few synths listed. You can read about the Cyclone here. If anyone has any suggestions on a synth or MIDI box that can do the above, feel free to comment.

What about the Waldorf Gekko series?
ReplyDeleteI think they made at least two different ones in the middle of the 90ies: a MIDI Arpeggiator and a Chord Memorizer.
found some brief description here: www.synthman.com/waldorf/311107.html
I used to have an Oberheim Cyclone. It was a very unwieldy device and undependable. If you looked at it the wrong way, it would lock up. Maybe I had a early firmware rev, but I don't recall any of the Perf/x devices being successful. Absolutely the worst midi gear I've ever owned.
