ARP QUADRA Analog Synthesizer (1978) Over the Clouds - 70s electronic music style

Published on Apr 24, 2018 RetroSound

"(c) 2018 vintage synthesizer demo by RetroSound

ARP QUADRA - rare analog synthesizer from the year 1979

I used in the demo track all four synth sections (analog strings and phase shifter, poly-synth, bass-synth, lead-synth);
All played live by hand, no midi

The Quadra is a four-section synthesizer consisting of a bass-synth (monophonic), poly-synth (full polyphonic), lead-synth (duophonic), and Solina like analog strings (full polyphonic)

The synth has included a awesome 12 stage phase shifter, dual portamento controls and fantastic arpeggiator.

used by: Genesis, Pink Floyd, New Order, Joe Zawinul, John Carpenter..."

"This one is in beautiful cosmetic condition and working 100%. It has just been serviced and with some restoration. As the title says, this one has the CPU Plus (CC+ Midi upgrade). It will come with the original pedal, the midi box, and a newly foamed road case made for this unit when it was originally purchased (from the original owner). It is likely the nicest Rhodes Chroma on Ebay."

"Great bass and percussive sounds and a unique sounding filter which can be accessed from an external inout. In very good condition.

This MS-10 has a switch for external input on or off. Another to patch the mod wheel to VCO pitch and the the other 3 patch modulation to PWM."

Curious if percussive analog is becoming a new trend.

ARTURIA MINIBRUTE 2 unpacking THE BEAST

Published on Apr 20, 2018 LESINDES

"This is just exploring the ARTURIA MINIBRUTE 2 right after unpacking. Without reading the manual frist. Just PLAY & PLUG -- haha, so only was just fun and resulting in some exciting sounds.

I have been indecided which one I should take: 2 or 2S -- finally making up my mind for MB2. Main point was: in the 2S there is no octave switch not even hidden and there is no "keyboard mode" of the sequencer's step pads -- so this would make it pretty useless as an interface for my modular."

Published on Apr 23, 2018 Telekom Electronic Beats

Some studio synth spotting with Anthony Rother.

"Anthony Rother has created forward-thinking electro since the ‘90s, the creative force behind the PSI49 Net and Datapunk labels and producing alongside Sven Väth and DJ Hell, and here invites us into his incredible studio in the latest 'Tech Talk' on Telekom Electronic Beats TV. Described by the veteran producer as a “big modular system”, Rother walks us through both his recording studio as well as the hardware-heavy jam space he uses to prepare for his live performances."
