"This modular system is a modern dedication to Alan R. Pearlman (AKA ARP). It uses the instrument list structure from the arp 2600.

Instead of making another clone arp 2600, I wanted to make an updated synthesiser, like an Arp 2700 type of project.

So there are many extra functions on this system, not found on the original arp2600. The only Arp 2600 circuit that is an exact clone, is the Analog Switch."

"Yamaha's mid-70's ultra(ish) rare 1st analog monosynth in very good condition."

Not sure if it classifies as ultra rare as you see them come up now and then, but the more time goes on, the rarer it gets of course. At least in working condition.

"Right plastic end piece missing. Single piece which can be replaced.

Also, some cracks to the plastic casing on the left side of the synth. See photos.

These are purely cosmetic issues and the synth is working perfectly!"

Touch the Gear 2019 (Outsound New Music Summit)

Published on Jul 25, 2019 CatSynth TV

"Scenes from the Touch the Gear event at the Community Music Center in San Francisco, part of the 2019 Outsound New Music Summit.

"Outsound's original public event Touch the Gear is a hands-on, family-friendly exposition open to the public. During the evening attendees get to roam among inventors and musicians while experiencing sound producing gear, computers, instruments and inventors with their various different configurations of “gear”--everything from oscillators and electronics, to planks of wood with strings attached. All attendees get to ask questions, make sound and experience how the instruments work, in an environment that demystifies technology while inspiring creativity.

Gear Presenters: Amanda Chaudhary, Bryan Day, Cheryl E. Leonard, Colleen Kelly, David Leikam, David Molina, David Samas, Hugh Behm-Steinberg, J. Lee, Jeff Klukowski, Johny Radio, Jorge Bachmann, Michael Mersereau, Peter Whitehead, R. Duck, Stephen Paris, Tom Duff"
