The future of EXPRESSIVE analog synths is HERE

"I've been waiting 50 years to experience analog synthesizers responding intuitively and immediately to pitch, timbre and volume changes from the slightest movements of my fingers on a keyboard! In this video, you'll see and hear unprecedented control of one of the most extreme patches I've ever made. It incudes (4) Vintage ARP 2600's synthesizers and (1) Vintage 1969 Moog IIIc modular synthesizer playing all at once in unison mode or where each modular synth is playing a separate voice in the chord. I've never heard my favorite all-time analog synths sounding so musical, so different and just so good!

To accomplish this task, we are using 5 channels of Haken Audio CVC (Control Voltage Converter) to receive MPE messages from an Expressive E Osmose and also from a Haken Audio Continuum. These state of the art MIDI controllers are able to understand the players most subtle finger movements and immediately translate those messages to the CVC. Without any perceivable latency, the CVC can then send 4 independent control voltages to alter any parameter in real-time on any one of the synths being used as a voice.

My special guest, Osmose and Continuum expert performer Josh Madoff demonstrates all the features on both of these keyboards by playing musical examples. I'll be explaining what's going on, playing some duets with Josh and also providing an in-depth breakdown of the patches on each synth. I'm optimistic that we'l be seeing controllers n the near future delivering higher and higher levels of artistic experiences for performers. Please enjoy the this presentation and let us know what you think in the comments section. Thank you for your support, it means everything to us!

See The Infamous ARP Avatar

"This is the ARP AVATAR. It is basically a Arp Odessy without a keyboard controller. It was intended to be used with the guitar MIDI controller pickup that I no longer have. my tech tells me that the Roland midi guitars or a Roland-style or any hex pickup will work. I used this with a Kenton box (midi to cv converter) which turned it into a tabletop synth module. I just had all the sliders replaced and it's pretty satisfying to play with.

It is from 1977 so it's not brand new. I just sent it to my tech to make sure it's all working and we decided to change all the sliders out. When I bought this 15 years ago it came in a road case that was deteriorated and left marks on the wood panels on the sides as seen in the pics. I did clean them up a little. If you are someone who is handy I am sure you could clean these up to look like new if you are inspired to do so."

A Game of Two Arps

video upload by Memetune Studio

"Arp Omni and the Arp 2500. A match made in heaven!

The Arp 1601 sequencer is changing the Omni filter, the 2500 is doing some nice Berlin flavours

There is something very magical about both these synths. Well done Arp! You are the best, perhaps"

One of my favorite tracks from the late 70s.
Child Of Vision by Supertramp, from the album Breakfast In America (1979)
Written by Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson

Featured: Yamaha Reface CP (Wurlitzer) and the ARP Quadra 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.
Check out the original songs with the original artists here on YouTube.
Thank you.

ARP Quartet SN 87/ 50

via this listing

"The ARP Quartet was a rebadged Siel Orchestra - a very versatile analog 49 note polyphonic synthesizer from 1979. While the settings may look fairly simple, a complex array of sounds can be created via different combinations of presets, an LFO, ADSR, a two pole voltage controlled filter, and triple analog BBD delay lines as found in the ARP String Ensemble/Solina, ARP Omni 1 & 2, and ARP Quadra.

Mix and match between any combination of the four tone color families (Brass, String, Organ, Piano), eight instrument presets (Trumpet, Trombone, Cello, Violin, Organ, Celeste, Piano, and Honky Tonk), and several settings that are available depending on your combination of instrument families."
