"Arp 2600 semi-modular synthesizer.

This appears to be a 2603 REV G model 2600, and it sounds amazing.

The face plate is in very good condition, especially for it's age.
When I purchased this in 2009, the previous owner stated that:
- This model has the much sought after Moog ladder filter.
- This unit was serviced by Greg Montalbano of Analog Synth Service prior to the sale (in 2009).
- These upgrades were installed:
1. An audio path op amp upgrade.
2. New power supply.
3. Installed standard three prong jack so that and standard electronic power cord could be used.
4. A cv/gate input mod was installed on the side, so you can patch a single source of each
through all 3 VCOs without using up the mults, or having to patch into the front.
This has been very useful.

Known issues:
VCO 2 doesn't work.
VCO 3 pulse output doesn't work.
These are both recent, but are an easy and inexpensive replacement.
Parts are easily available online.
The decay slider on the ADSR envelope works, but should be addressed.
The bottom for the wooden case, under one of the rubber feet, is starting to dry out.
The tolex is worn, and has been coated with something (prior to my having this) as a temporary fix.
The handle has been removed and there is no cover.

This unit needs a bit of attention, but this is a great opportunity to get a highly sought after synth for a good price. It will be well worth the effort to restore."

8-Bit SoundBox


8-Bit SoundBox from macumbista on Vimeo.

"8-Bit SoundBox is an generative audio instrument which creates sound patterns from bits shifted around by a single, simple line of code. It is based on the 8-Bit MixTape project created in Indonesia by Lifepatch.org, as well as the analog SoundBoxes I have been creating since 2010. The analog SoundBoxes use touchpoints and feedback to produce circuit-bent drone sounds. The "one-liner" sonic bit-shifting code was discovered by game developers in the demo scene. More complex, layered sounds can be created by combining more players with more instruments. Eventually, the instruments will be able to communicate with each other wirelessly to aid collaboration.

Thanks to Andreas Siagian and Marc Dusseiller for support and inspiration!"

MFB TANZMAUS + OTO MACHINES BAM ~ Will They Pair? Ep.08


Published on Feb 20, 2017 once upon a synth

"Pairing the MFB Tanzmaus hybrid analog/digital drum machine with the OTO Machine BAM Space Generator reverb effects unit. I use a couple of different patterns on the Tanzmaus and spend most of the time tweaking the BAM. There's a nice old school techno vibe with these two."
