ARP 2500 NOODLE

Title link takes you to an ARP 2500 track sent my way via ben.

"I thought you might like to hear a little "ARP 2500 NOODLE" i did yesterday [actually its nearly 7 mins long]. It's an arp going through an ibanez AD-80 delay pedal. It's in mono. The arp is set up to play a simple sequence [notice it is 10 steps long] and I tweak the pitch etc as it goes. I also tweak the delay repeat/time/blend knobs. Note that this is an analog delay pedal from the 70s, using the amazing Panasonic MN3005 bucket brigade delay circuit"

GRS VCO.3 and H.R. Giger

via Nikos-Greece

"a picture I found in a Taschen book about the famous Swiss artist H.R. Giger.(see "Alien" and ELP'S "Brain Salad Surgery" cover) Well, in the picture, you can see behind the couple(?) the rare Italian synth GRS VCO.3. According to "A-Z of Analogue Synths" by Peter Forrest,only 30 of them were made,and it is reported that it was a great sounding synth. So maybe in the 'famous users list' of A-Z, could be added this couple of engineers. An (Eminent) Solina can be seen also, under the VCO.3.

You can also find a photo of the GRS VCO.3, in Sequencer.de site, as it's featured in the swiss synth "Synthorama" collection."

If you've been coming to this site for some time, you no doubt have enjoyed the video and images of wc olo garb, aka jexus(youtube), aka polaranta(flickr). Well, I just realized that although I link to his site in each post, I've never put up a post exclusively on his site. Well, here it is. If you haven't taken a look at his site recently, do check it out. If you like synths, you will not be disappointed. Also check out the links above for his brilliant videos and some outrageously funny shots. Wc Olo Garb rules.
