We are very excited to release 'The Lost ARP Tapes,' recently discovered footage that had been buried in decades worth of television. Join us Tuesday, June 7th on our YouTube channel to watch them live and celebrate Alan Pearlman’s birthday.

We will be having several releases. featuring footage from the 1970s of demos, two different ARP factories, Alan R. Pearlman, Phil Dodds, David Friend, David Frederick, and Tom Piggot! Not seen in 45+ years!

Included in these sessions will be other rare footage of Alan R. Pearlman speaking in later years (not in any other documentary) as well as contemporary interviews with ARP employees"

And via Dina Pearlman in the ARP Foundation mailing list:

Today is my father's birthday

Alan R. Pearlman would have been 97 today! Because he was born in 1925, he remembered the George Washington Bridge being built, the Great Depression, was a World War II vet.. he worked on the early NASA projects, saw the first person on the moon. And he built one of the most famous synthesizers in the world.

With celebrating my father's birthday we also recognize our future—the kids who love their STEM classes, the musicians who have aspirations to make music, or the filmmakers who wish to make soundtracks.

This summer we are trying to raise a minimum of $15,000 for the following projects:

ARPs for ALL - insurance, restoration and repair of instruments

ARPchives including scanning, digitizing and licensing rights to rare photos. See also: Google's Music Makers and Machines!

Our first residency at ARPs for ALL (estimated $10,000 for housing, transportation and engineering assistance) Grantwriter(s)

We will also be holding our Fall Synthposium and Fundraiser 2022: A Fifty Year ARP Odyssey!

READ the Synthposium Press Release

We hope you will consider making a tax deductible donation to The Alan R Pearlman Foundation

My father was a mentor. In his tradition, The Alan R. Pearlman Foundation is dedicated to preserving his legacy to inspire others, and to provide them with the tools to do so with our ARPs for ALL projects as well as our ARPchives that include Hot off the Press!

This year we have located some lost ARP tapes premiering on YouTube later today [above] (more coming later this summer) We have also located some rare photographs, but we have to purchase them, so this is part of our goals for this latest fundraiser.

Koma Elektronik Komplex Sequencer

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This is hands down the most versatile, feature rich and deep sequencer one could ever dream of. Always complex, never complicated. The FULLY modular structure offers tantalising ways of seamless integration to your workflow and especially to your already existing gear setups. Offering both CV and MIDI (In and Out) the Komplex is truly the machine that bridges the gap between plethora of machines.

This unparalleled feature set of sequencing options will take you to places you’d have never otherwise found. The dynamic set of features allow the user to use the sequencer easily ’as is’ and gain the advantage of the more komplex sequencing options when they so decide. The Komplex can be rack mounted if desired.

The Koma Komplex operates completely without screens and submenus of any kind. This tactile nature of the sequencing beast is what makes working with it deeply enticing time and time again.

This unit is in perfect MINT condition and you are hard pressed to see a single scratch on it (please see pictures). It is sold by the original owner and has always been kept in a well maintained, smoke and pet free studio. The sale comes complete with the original packaging and a personalised note from the Koma manufacturing team. This is a wonderful opportunity for people who have been trying to find the out of production Komplex in sale for a long while. These are obviously well loved by their user-base and usually sell fast.

The feature list and the possible applications are FAR beyond the scope of what I can tell you here. Rarely is the overused saying ‘The sky truly is the limit’ as on point as it is with this particular sequencer. Please check the manuals below for inspirational dive into the machines capabilities."

K-Devices releases LFOH! for iOS

video uploads by kdevices

"Arvieux, France - June 7 2022. K-Devices, developer of creative music tools, has released LFOH! - audio/MIDI modulator plugin as AUv3 for iOS.

The flagship LFO from Modulators 21 Max For Live suite finally debuts on iOS. LFOH! enhances the possibilities of the classic cycling envelope by adding control over a set of advanced and unique features.

LFOH! is both an audio and a MIDI modulator: while is capable to send its modulation signal out as MIDI CC (according to the MIDI routing flexibility of the app that hosts it), it can also modulate the amplitude of incoming audio.

LFOH! is a single oscillator LFO with a set of continuously morphable and selectable waveforms that represents the core of its modulation signal. Apart from the classic frequency and phase parameters, the waveform can also be shaped by swinging its cycles, bending its curve, squeezing portions of oscillation in the same period of time; it can be scaled and transformed while exceeding its boundaries. An additional sample and hold circuit provides quantization for the resulting signal.

== Features ==
5 continuously morphable and selectable waveforms (sine, ramp down, triangle, ramp up, square) + noise. a multitude of parameters to sculpt the modulator signal: phase, swing, bend, squeeze, transform (wrap, fold, clip), sample and hold, smooth

MIDI only: scale, set channel and CC

audio only: modulation amount

dark/light skin

MIDI CC modulation depends on MIDI routing flexibility of host app: a YouTube playlist covers MIDI settings with some popular AUv3 host apps like AUM, Drambo, etc." [videos above]

NAMM 22: A Chat With Tom Oberheim

video upload by sonicstate

"Given the opportunity to talk to one of the synthesizer industries' legends, we jumped at the chance. T om Oberheim has been making synthesizers since the 1970's and is responsible for a lot of the great sounds we've heard over the years from his classic instruments.

Its been an eventful few years for Oberheim, Tom got his brand name back, thanks to the efforts of Marcus Ryle (Line 6 founder) and together with the team at Sequential ahve now producer the OB-X8 which is a monster of a synth that encompasses these essence of much of the Oberheim range.

We had a chat on the booth.

"The great sounding SH1000 from 1973 being sequenced from a 960 sequencer going through presets and creating sounds. The gate in is ratcheted by a Doepfer a-160-5 as per usual as per vykaartones. The SH1000 is for sale as I don't have room to use it much if anyone is interested."
