ARP AVATAR Guitar Synthesizer Demos

Published on Nov 23, 2016 Amazing Synth

Created a playlist for these moving forward. The 2nd video was previously posted here.

"This unit was produced in 1977 or 1978 and its signal path must be very similar to that of ARP Odyssey Mk III. According to the Service Manual they share several of the same PCBs.

I believe we can assume that AVATAR is a combination of early digital guitar module and analog synthesizer (Odyssey).

It can be controlled by CV/Gate, I have a Kenton Pro-2 for that. And it's rather volatlle."

Playlist:
ARP AVATAR analog synthesizer - arpeggio tweaking - Resonance
ARP AVATAR analogue synthesizer - Filter Sweep
ARP AVATAR guitar synthesizer - FM Sweep
ARP AVATAR synthesizer - Low Sweep
ARP AVATAR - Some Basses - Chameleon Line
