Featured the ARP Odyssey Analog Synthesizer

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.

My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."

Cherry AudioODC 2800 - Sound Bank '79

video upload by Polydata

"Straight from the Polydata laboratory: a sound bank for the new Cherry Audio ODC 2800. Inspired by the circuits of the vintage ARP Odyssey synths, this plug-in takes those original designs further with expanded features and functionality. Sound Bank '79 was created to highlight the raw tone of this synth and bring out as much analog tone as possible.

A bank of 45 patches with a wide array of sounds and timbres, both monophonic and polyphonic.

Sound Bank '79 is a series of vintage tones for different synths and plug-ins, so look out for future releases. Recorded completely dry with no external effects or processing.

Making Nuclear Music with Hainbach

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"Join me for a rare opportunity to step into the incredible world of Hainbach at his studio in Berlin—filled with vintage nuclear test equipment he’s brilliantly turned into musical instruments… and plenty of other wild synthesizers!

Hainbach is known for making haunting, immersive soundscapes using everything from lab gear to tape loops to modular synths. His music feels like it's from another dimension—organic, rich, hypnotic and totally captivating. In this video, I explore his unique setup and we dive into a completely new palette of sounds together. It was inspiring to see how he breathes life into machines that were never meant to make music… and to try my hand at making "nuclear music" myself.

If you're into experimental sound design, synths, or just curious how scientific gear from the Cold War can become part of modern composition—this is something you’ve got to see (and hear)."

ARP Axxe Model 2313 Monophonic Analog Synthesizer SN 1803

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"Step into the golden era of analog synthesis with this pre-owned 1975 ARP Axxe, a vintage monophonic synthesizer that delivers the unmistakable sound of the '70s. Introduced as a more accessible sibling to the legendary ARP Odyssey, the Axxe brought rich, punchy analog tones to players ranging from beginners to seasoned professionals. This early Mark I unit retains its distinctive black-and-gold aesthetic, robust metal chassis, and classic wooden side panels, all hallmarks of a time when craftsmanship and innovation defined electronic instrument design.

Renowned for its straightforward layout and characterful sonic palette, the ARP Axxe excels at producing gritty basslines, searing leads, and otherworldly effects. Its single-oscillator signal path, paired with a powerful resonant low-pass filter and classic ADSR envelope, allows for bold, expressive shaping with hands-on immediacy. Whether you're integrating it into a modular setup via CV/Gate or seeking that authentic vintage analog sound for your studio, the Axxe remains a sought-after gem with historical clout and musical relevance. Though this unit shows typical signs of vintage wear consistent with its age, it remains in solid playing condition and is ready for many more years of creative exploration."

Film composer and keyboardist Jezz Woodroffe (Black Sabbath, Robert Plant) on Cherry Audio's new ODC 2800 synthesizer: "As soon as I knew Mark Barton was working on this, I knew it was going to be sound perfection. What's so brilliant about this is the extra oscillator, the three fabulous lockable UIs, the fantastic effects section, and the expanded panel for it and the keys. Without a doubt, it's a real classic updated design that Alan Pearlman would be thrilled to have seen and heard."

Improvised Jam on Iconic Vintage Synths!

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"Fresh off Superbooth 2025, I dropped into the Synthesizer Museum in Berlin for a rare, fully improvised performance on their legendary vintage synths—including the Yamaha CS-80, two ARP 2600s, and a Roland Jupiter-8.
Joining me was my longtime friend and Vienna-based artist Felix of Flame, playing his custom FLAME drum and percussion instruments. Together, we dove into a one-of-a-kind sonic journey—shaped by texture, tone, and the moment.
No script. No presets. Just raw, analog expression—captured live!"
