via this auction

"2601 v3.0: Late in 1980, a final revision was released with un-potted submodules, making them easier to maintain, and a revised suitcase. However these late models are quite rare as their release coincided with ARP's final days.

This is in amazing physical and operational condition. Possibly one of the best you will find. I had this cleaned and checked serviced and new bushing in the keyboard.

Includes original Manuals , brochures . Arp decal, patch list , factory patch tablets (lots) . For those that want the best of the real original. Also has original power cord and some original patch cables. Normal mini plugs can be used."

Modal 002 review & sound demo

video by synthlegends

"Modal Electronics review, going through and sound demo.

The Modulus 002 was the first synthesizer from the new established company Modal Electronics from Bristol, UK in 2015. The frist batches named Modulus 002. Because of legal issues the name changed to Modal 002.

It was developed mainly by Paula Maddox, who wanted to set the spirit oft he PPG wave in the next century. The Modal 002 uses NCO oscillators, which have a variable sample rate and sound more alive than DSP. Beside that the Signal Path ist full analog alongside with a marvelous sounding ladder filter.

Because of bad marketing and a very steep price the Modal 002 was not very successful when relaunched. Also there were a lot of bugs in the software and some audio issues which caused a bad publicity in forums. Meanwhile the 002 is grown up, the last big update was relaunched in 2019.

For me the 002 is the real sucessor of the PPG wave, it really sounds astonishing. It is one of the best hybrid synthesizers which have been ever bulit. This is my opinion. Unfortunately you can’t get this synth new from Modal Electronics, just on the used market from time to time.

I recorded the 002 directly with two audio jacks in a stereo track into my interface. There is no mastering, external FX and compression. In some patches you can listen to internal FX. The patches I used I got from a great youtube fellow, Sean Christopher Dockery (Quantum 7 on gearslutz). Thank you very much, Sean for those great patches.

The first 15 minutes of this video I go through most functions and parameters. In the second part beginning from 15:20​ I play a bunch of sounds, first mostly pads, later on leads, basses, bells and organ style sounds.

I hope, you enjoy this video. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask my in the comments.

Prophet Rev2 Synth - Vintage Voice Modeling - Free Patches

video by Creative Spiral

"Achieve vintage voice modeling behavior with the Prophet Rev 2 synthesizer. I have two new FREE vintage template patches available. In this video, I discuss Voice Component Modeling (VCM), and demo the new free template patches, and give an overview of the topic of per-voice modeling to achieve vintage poly synth character, like old MemoryMoogs, Prophets, Jupiters, OBXs, and CS-80s.

The two new free patch templates are available here (along with many others): https://www.PresetPatch.com/user/Crea...

I also have a full bank of 128 advanced voice modeled patches available for sale in my Rev 2 VCM Sound Set: https://sellfy.com/sounddesign/p/figz/

Boss SY-1000 Resynthesis - Reamping - Next Level Guitar Synth USB Six Split Outputs

video by WayneJoness

"https://www.joness.com/gr300/SY-1000.htm [some pics of the inside there] One of the breakthrough features of the Boss SY-1000 is access to the individual string inputs and outputs in the USB audio stream. With this feature you can record a guitar performance into your DAW then freely experiment with using different SY-1000 patches on the recorded track. Boss calls this resynthesis.

This is similar to the process of reamping, where a guitar signal is recorded dry then played back, or 'reamped' through different amplifiers. But resynthesis takes this to a whole new level, since you can not only change the amplifier, but the kind of guitar used on a track, switching from a Strat to a Les Paul, or Acoustic, or even a Roland GR-300 Guitar Synthesizer. With each string recorded individually there is also a whole new level of editing and creativity available as well. You can literally correct the performance of one note without having to punch in on the entire performance."
