ARP 2600 w GRP R24 Sequencer + Swiss Daisy DSP

video upload by O.Z. Hall

"The GRP Synthesizer company's R24 sequencer is driving two voices on the ARP 2600 and a third voice provided by the ZebraSynth.net Swiss Daisy DSP module, in "pluck voice" mode, with delay and reverb.
I'm using several features of the R24 including:
3 separate sequences (CV/Gate out ; MIDI also available)
Some sequences use the "ratchet" feature to double gate a single step.
The second row is only 6 steps, to provide a poly-rhythm for greater complexity (less monotonous ).

Thanks to my long time friend Rod Scott for loaning me the GRP R24. Check out his channel:

"This is something I've been thinking about for a long time, a separate video breakdown/rundown for each of my separate modular synth systems. I have about eight 5U modular systems and about four Eurorack modular systems to do so it will take a while to get through them all. (and I'll still be doing other types of videos in-between of course) Index: 0:00 Beginning 0:17 Introduction 1:40 Modules In The System 3:29 Modifications Overview 9:01 Module Modifications Detail 16:18 Case/Power Modifications Detail 19:19 Miscellaneous Items and Final Words 20:20 Unplanned Bonus Wiggle 29:40 End List of the modules in this system: Mos-Lab 921ABBB VCO set Synth-Werk 6401M Bode Ringmodulator (NOT a 'frequency modulator'!)

GRP & ARP

coyotesynth

"Short and straightforward electro track demonstrating the ARP2600FS, the GRP Synth A4 and the Analog Rytm Mk1.

All synths/drumbox are processed through the ARP2600FS (the AR being overdriven by the ARP preamp). Sequenced by the GRP A4 sequencer.

Not any single outboard FX, nor plug-in used. What you hear is what comes from the ARP2600FS, because summing is done within the ARP2600FS."

Grp Synthesizer A4 | Kid Gloves

Alex Ball

"The Grp Synthesizer A4 is an Italian analogue synthesizer originally released in 2012.

Combining classic subtractive synthesis with modern desires, it's got pretty tasty spec.

To save the longest video description ever, here's a link to Theo Bloderer's comprehensive breakdown: https://greatsynthesizers.com/en/revi...

In this video I tried to make use of the A4's architecture, whilst keeping things musical. It's very easy with this much power at your fingertips to overcook it and just make either a sonic mess, or a sound that only works in isolation. Hopefully I've struck the balance.

Examples of things I did:
Dual sequence utilising the playback and step repeat modes. I sequenced some chords in one section with oscillator 1 + 2 (tuned a fifth apart) following sequencer A and oscillator 3 following sequencer B.

For the lead sound I also used the sequencer as a modulation source sent to phase synched oscillators and the filters that also had its tempo CV'd from an envelope so that it sped up and down rollercoaster style.

I ran my Juno through the A4 via the external signal in and envelope follower. This allowed me to control the A4 from the Juno, but have the dual A4 filters on it. I also tuned in two of the A4's oscillators to complimentary intervals and they were coming through with the Juno every time it gated the synth.

The main riff was a blend of three oscillators and the ring modulator with a combination of linear and exponential modulation and oscillator sync.

There were also various stereo bass sounds - subby and round, sharp and phat, and driven and heavy. The distortion comes from the synth itself.

I also made some floaty, trippy sounds with the A4 in the middle eight, as well as various FX.

Hopefully this all gives a glimpse into what it can do.

Gear used:
Grp A4 (2012)
Arturia KeyStep Pro (2020)
Arturia MicroFreak (2019)
Roland System 100m (1979)

"My GRP A-2 was broken. The envelopes won't trigger any more. That's a pity but not a catastophe -- Ther is so much synth left -- it is a highly capable synth with a lush sound -- warm and singing but still precise. Sohow about some drones? ROME DRONES to be specific. The result of this emergency performance is published here.
This is PART 1.

PART 1: Pure GRP A-2 singing tibetian monk like overtones etc.
PART 2: GRP A-2 with some analog echo enhancement -- TC ELECTRONIC ECHOBRAIN stomp box.
PART 3: Technoid Ryhthms."

Vi mostreremo gli strumenti più rari e le loro sonorità.
Presenteremo le attuali aziende italiane e i loro sintetizzatori, ci saranno interviste, dibattiti e chiacchierate con gli esperti e con chi fa crescere il museo ogni giorno

We are excited to launch the Italian Synth Museum Youtube channel

We will talk about the history of Italian electronic instruments, about technology, restoration and preservation, about famous performers who played these instruments, about the history of the manufacturing district and its main actors.
We will showcase the rarest instruments and play them, spotlight today's Italian companies and their synthesizers, host interviews, debates and chats
with the experts and with those who work daily to make the museum grow"

Vermona'14 solo, GRP A4 Sequence

Published on Apr 13, 2020 coyotesynth

"This video is a short teaser of the forthcoming album made by Fabien Labonde, album in which I did those 2 short contributions, as many other musicians.

Vermona'14 is a great and expressive analog monosynth, with many modulations (filter on modwheel, vibrato on aftertouch, great keyboard action). When Fabien asked me for a solo on this track, it was obvious the Vermona'14 would be the one to make it.

GRP A4 is used on a bass sequence later in the track.

Please note this is still under progress, it still miss real drums and other instruments, but what you hear are the final takes from my side."
