Inside the Legendary ARP 2500 - Every Module Explained

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music and Rosen Sound

"I’m joined by my friend and synth technician to the stars Rob Rosen for a deep dive into one of the most legendary synthesizers ever built: the ARP 2500.

We go module by module through the instrument, exploring what makes the 2500 so unique, from its architecture and standout modules to the unmistakable character of its sound. We also look at how the ARP 2500 was configured and priced when it was introduced in 1970, how those systems compare to what they’re worth today, and why these instruments have become so desirable to collectors, studios and musicians.

And we don’t just talk about it. Throughout the video, I perform three solo pieces on the ARP 2500 to show the raw sound power that lives in this instrument.
If you’ve ever wondered what makes the ARP 2500 so special, and why it remains one of the most sought-after synthesizers more than 50 years later, this is a close-up look at the instrument from the inside out."

Antonus On The Run

video upload by Antonus

"Antonus 2600 + 3620. Free jam over 'On the Run'

Jamming around the On the Run patch from Pink Floyd. Done originally with the wonderful EMS SYNTHI AKS, I took the freedom to make a kind of homage to this historic track, using mostly the Antonus 2600 + Antonus 3620 for make in real time what was done in multitracking. This is done as improvisation at the moment with no multitrack and no extra processing, only the 2600 spring reverb processing all, and not looking for replicate exactly or make perfect replication of the original theme. Looking for show the true pure sound of the analog system, the living behaviour of all, and the interaction that can be done with all parts in powerful synergy. While is of course different sound colour than the inimitable EMS synths, the 2600 have his own personality and also capable of make their own raw and raspy sound, different than mellow or sweet sounds used in other previous demos. Step Brother and pair of euro modules at SidecARP adds some animation at the modulations, but basically most is done with just the 2600+3620"

RMS Custom Synth from the Boston School of Electronic Music - Demo

video upload by Phil Cirocco

"This one-of-a-kind custom made synth was designed and built for the Boston School of Electronic Music by Ron Rivera of ARP Instruments & Aries Synthesizers. We restored this machine to full functionality here at CMS/Discrete Synthesizers. This video has somewhat poor sound, so I was reticent to publish it and I apologize, however I thought it possibly significant that viewers could hear what this incredible machine sounds like. It's huge, one piece front panel is somewhat similar to the 2600 using .141" jacks. It is painted in Blue Marvin blue with a custom silk screen in black. All the circuitry is mounted on vector boards that plug into the back. The Poly-Soloist sits on top."

ARP 2500: Sonic Painting - Zak Leever

video upload by Rosen Sound

"Introduced in 1970, the ARP 2500 captures an early moment in ARP’s history, before the company introduced the smaller, semi-modular ARP 2600 with its internally normalled signal paths. Only around 100 ARP 2500 systems were ever produced, and far fewer remain maintained and fully playable today.

This ARP 2500 was restored by Rob Rosen for a client of Rosen Sound.

Rosen Sound is the premier synth repair shop in Los Angeles, serving clients such as Steve Porcaro, David Paich, Mike Dean, Anthony Marinelli and many more."

ARP Foundation Uncovers Never Before Seen Images of Lexington, MA ARP Instruments

via The Alan R Pearlman Foundation

"Every once in a while, history hands you a surprise.

A couple of years ago, we came across three contact sheets of never-before-seen photographs from inside the Lexington, MA ARP Instruments — images (with the exception of one) that have never been published, never been digitized, and until now, never even been known to exist.

We don't yet know everything they show. What we do know is that they're a direct window into the now-legendary 1970s factory that includes images of Alan R. Pearlman, David Friend, and Phil Dodds — the team that gave us the ARP 2600, the Odyssey, the Omni, and the ProDGX. For anyone who's ever chased that ARP sound, these images are a missing piece of the story.

The Foundation has an opportunity to acquire all of the images from these contact sheets — but only with your help. Acquiring and preserving them is part of our 'Preserve the Legacy' goal in our current Back-to-School Fundraiser, alongside our effort to save a vintage ARP string ensemble."

ARP 2500 recently restored by CMS - Phil Cirocco

video upload by Phil Cirocco

"Here I go again on an ARP 2515 machine controlled by a 3112U2 keyboard. We recently brought this beauty back from the dead in the CMS lab. This baby was re-engineered to the max so we had to restore every crazy hack back to factory original. Thanks to Alan R. Pearlman for giving us all his blueprints for the 2500 and for also being one of the nicest guys you would ever meet."

Daft Punk / J-Dilla / MachineDrum Sounds, Inside a LinnDrum. Da funk

video upload by Program 17

"This is the exact drums Daft Punk sampled for Da Funk, J-Dilla Drums, and Elektron Sounds inside the Linn drum. I made the EPROMs using a Oberheim Prommer. It was not an easy task. But I took layered drums. Sampled them, turned them to binary, then program them for the Linn drum. I loved daft punk growing up. I’m from Detroit. I use to hang around J-Dilla at the time. I owned a Linn drum since I was a teenager. It was my dream to program sounds for a Linn drum. I spent thousands of hours programming a Linn drum and often times wondered how to make my Linn drum sound like daft punk. Well I did it. Inside of using a SP-1200, these are the sounds inside a Linn drum.

Kick and snare are the daft punk drums.
The hat is Machine drum.
Kicks from a machine drum are in the toms and congas.

The J Dilla claps and snares are the same exact method J Dilla would use on his Drums. After reading the book “dilla time” I was inspired to make the drums a little bit off. If you look at the actual original binary files of the Linn Drum on a spectral graph or analyze the way form, you will notice that the drums are not perfect. Prince always said you need air to make it an instrument so I gave the samples a little bit of room in the beginning so it kind of sounds off but it’s not off because you can program the timing with the pitch now exactly like a clap trap, which is ironic because that’s what I heard where the Drum clap originally came from.

Silicon Machine | Daniel Miller & Alexander Hacke in conversation | FFOSSO

video upload by FFOSSO

"We sat down with Daniel Miller and Alexander Hacke to talk about the sounds, machines, and ideas behind Silicon Machine, a new FFOSSO instrument sampled directly from Daniel's own collection of original synths and drum machines.

Daniel traces the lineage back to the earliest days of Mute Records: the Korg 700S that powered "Warm Leatherette" and 'T.V.O.D.,' the rented Space Echo, the four-track sessions where everything was played by hand because there was no other way to do it. Gear that wasn't prestigious, wasn't expensive, and wasn't supposed to sound like much, and did anyway.

Alexander curated the collection, with patches designed and programmed by both Alexander and Daniel for FFOSSO. As curator, Alexander brings his own perspective: a musician whose practice spans decades of Einstürzende Neubauten's industrial explorations, finding music in unconventional sources and understanding intuitively what happens when machines are pushed somewhere they weren't designed to go.

Together they talk about limitation as a creative force, the character that comes from imperfection, and why the rough edges of early DIY electronics can still feel more alive than many things made today. Silicon Machine is the result: cold basslines, broken rhythmic pulses, stark analog textures — raw, mechanical, and quietly menacing.
