Summersend - ARP2500

video upload by Memetune Studio

"This is a live performance on the ARP 2500 using the "concrete" box

The patch uses 1 looper and 1 delay, with Lexicon Model 200 and PrimeTime 95 via the Neve 88D console

The Arp has a really basic patch - just 2 VCOs tuned 2 octaves apart going into the Filtamp - but I can bring them in separately or together using the Filtamp input mixer. There's also some cutoff mod from a 3rd VCO. The 2500 sounds so natural, rich and organic, I love it - almost like an acoustic instrument (The Concert Grand of Synths!)

You might notice I set up the lower half of the keyboard to send out triggers to stop/start the looper recording - I was VERY pleased with myself when I figured I could do that 😁

It builds up a bit like the evening heat across a late-summer lawn"
