"Single-owner ARP 2600 with a 3620 keyboard. Purchased in 1975, this synth has been meticulously restored and cleaned up in 2020 by Phil Cirocco over at CMS tech service in Savannah, GA. It was very dusty and Phil cleaned it up and added a few mods to it. The modifications added are:
1/4" input jack for the PreAmp
1/4" Output Jacks
IEC power jack to replace the original hard wired power cable
Everything on the synth is 100% functional.
The one problem is that the plastic slider for the pulse width of VCO 3 has broken off, but the parameter still works.
There is no Lid for the ARP itself, but the keyboard does have its lid. For this reason, I'm not interested in shipping.
The 3620 keyboard is in rough shape around the key bed. Decades of use have eroded all of the padding that used to exist under the keys, so playing the keys is very loud and clacky. Some of the keys are yellowing and chipped. Aside from that, absolutely all of the parameters and jacks work on the keyboard. The pitch bend knob is not original"
"Out Friday 14th July 2023 I'm back with a follow up Bank for the fantastic Sequential Take 5. Essence Vol 2 contains 128 all new Patches, with emphasis on playable Sounds, not weird Sound FX.
V2 Firmware added some great new features such as OSC 2 to be bypassed from the Filter, Vintage as a destination and many others, which I have fully taken advantage of. Many of the Patches utilise the excellent FM Function for unusual tones.
Here are the next 32 Patches demonstrated, hope you enjoy them and watch out for the final Video.

"The much requested Prophet REV2 Pack is finally here, such a great synth which competes with the big boys no problem at all, this pack allthough is listed as 100 Patches, contains well over 120 custom sounds due to many patches being layered containing two separate custom sounds within them.
There is a mixture of Binaural pads, mono leads, basses, arps, sequences and much more.
it has been great fun getting to know this synth and this is only the first instalment of what will be quite a few banks for this beauty.
"ACRONYM stands for Analogue CoRe Oscillator New tYpe: Morphing. It combines a stable, great tracking analogue triangle core VCO with unique waveshaping, voltage controlled wavemorphing, through-zero phase modulation, and two suboscillators to create a powerhouse VCO that excels creating unique analogue timbres as well as more traditional waves.
"101-VCO Version 2 Roland SH-101 Oscillator Adaptation + RD-6 [Demo 1 No Talk]
Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2023
101-VCO has returned to the fold: the same great sound, simplified and improved tuning, and having all the individual outputs without need for an expander module. All in 12HP Headphones or good monitors recommended.
Check my Reverb store for 101-VCO availability.
Oscillator | GSE 101-VCO Filter | GSE JU60-VCF VCA | GSE 2xVCA LFO | Feedback LFO10 Output | Pittsburgh Outs Drum Machine (off camera) | Behringer RD-6 Recorded direct, no other mastering or effects.
"The 101-VCO has been re-tooled in 12HP! Version 2 continues its authentic realization of the Roland SH-101 Oscillator adapted to Eurorack: that lovely Sub-Octave Generator, that snowy Noise Generator, an integrated Mixer section to bring all the waves together.
Now in revision 2: Improved tuning stability using power rail voltage references. Simplified tuning via coarse/fine tune knobs. Individual waveform outputs without need for any expander module.
101-VCO expands the original SH-101 features to reveal more potential of the 3340 chip: Triangle wave and exponential FM. And 2 flavors of Linear FM: Lo Range to find those vibrato sweet spots, and Hi Range for full-on Linear FM madness. Expand the palette of original sounds using an external CV signal for Pulse Width Modulation that is summed against the initial Pulse Width amount. While the initial PW amount can go right up to the edge of vanishing, PWM can take the Width right down to 0% up to 100% for complete cancellation.
Great care was taken to keep the 101-VCO fully analog circuit as close to the original as possible. Featuring an Alfa AS3340 re-issue chip at the core of the design, surrounded by eight 20mm slide pot controls. With the conventional coarse/fine tuning knobs it will provide full audio range, whether using the v/oct input or not.
Every 101-VCO is meticulously hand-crafted in limited quantities, not mass-produced, and ready to rock your modular world. Includes 16-pin-to-10-pin power connector cable.
Coarse Tune Knob | Initial oscillator frequency
Fine Tune Knob | Initial oscillator frequency, +/-6 semitones range
FM Slider | Amount that an external signal will modulate the frequency
FM TYPE Switch | LO for vibrato, HI/EXP for more dramatic frequency modulation
PULSE WIDTH Slider | initial Pulse Width amount
PULSE WIDTH MODULATION Slider | The amount that an external signal will affect pulse width
SOURCE MIXER Sliders | Adjusts the amplitude amount of each waveform going to the MIX output
"Gary Numan's 1979 single 'Down in the Park' has always been a favorite of mine. This cover version (instrumental) has been made using only the Behringer Solina Strings and the Erica Synths Perkons drum machine. The Solina plays all the synth parts while the Perkons does drums and the sub-bass deep hits best revealed on headphones. The images are AI generated using Stable Diffusion.
It wasn't my aim to make a 1:1 copy but in the end I stayed pretty close to the original. Any time I started changing things it felt like I was insulting an old friend.
