Thoughts On Digitakt 2 So Far.. and Live Music Production

video upload by EZBOT

"In today's stream I work on some new tunes, and tune-up some old tunes in preparation for the memorial day show at Monkey Loft here in Seattle. I am working on the Digitakt 2, Syntakt, and the Octratrack MK2 as my performance mixer. I am also using the Push 3 as a voice processor and synthesizer. My experience with Digitakt 2 has been great at times but not always.."

ARP Foundation ARP 2500 Now Available for Public Use

The first ARP 2500 available for public use, previously posted here, is now available.

via The Alan R. Pearl Foundation

KINGSTON, NY, MAY 24, 2024– The Alan R. Pearlman Foundation proudly announces that their recently-acquired ARP 2500 synthesizer has been restored, fitted with upgrades, and is now available tom the general public at The Record Co. in Boston, MA. This ARP 2500 is the first and only publicly-accessible example of its kind in the USA.

Thanks to generous funding from donors and benefactors, and in line with the Foundation’s mission, this exceedingly rare 2508 Wing Cabinet is now available to everyone. Part of the expansive 2500 system, the 2508 is a self-contained synthesizer including original oscillator, filter, sequencer, envelope and mix-sequencer modules, interlinked by the 2500’s flexible patch matrix system. It also contains a unique new oscillator designed for the Foundation by Phil Cirocco of Cirocco Music Systems, who also restored the 2508 to pristine working condition. The synthesizer has been further enhanced with a protective cover as well as a new custom-made keyboard from synthesizer.com.

"The day has finally arrived," said Dina Alcalay Pearlman-Ifil, founder and Executive Director of the ARP Foundation and daughter of Alan R. Pearlman. "Thanks to our generous donors, colleagues, and friends, our 2500 got the TLC it needed to make it feel and sound brand new again. It’s ready to inspire the next generation of musical explorers, just as my father intended. We hope this will be the first of many.”

The 2500 is available by appointment. Users seeking to schedule hands-on time must contact The Record Co. at therecordco.org/reserve-space. Previous modular synthesizer experience is strongly encouraged, however, users will receive an email with resources designed to familiarize them with the 2500’s workflow, empowering them to make the most of their time with this legendary synthesizer.

The ARP Foundation continues its work with contributors, collaborators, vendors, manufacturers, venues, and synthesizer owners to provide musicians with access to vintage ARP synthesizers to explore the endless possibilities of electronic music. The Foundation relies on donors to continue its mission, and encourages everyone who understands the importance of music education to visit alanrpearlmanfoundation.org to learn more and pledge their support."

Arpeggio with the Portabella MK IIIe & Meraki delay pedal

video upload by Erik Lucas F.

"This is a video demonstrating PIN Eletronic's Portabella MK IIIe. A pre-written MIDI sequence was sent from my DAW to the Portabella; the audio from the portabella goes through a true-stereo analog delay pedal called Meraki from Walrus Audio and then into my DAW. No processing was applied except a slight percentage of reverb from Fabfilter Pro R2 which is controlled from 0% to 15% using the MIDI Fighter Twister shown in the video. A bass line was also used in this piece, whose low-pass cutoff position is also controlled with the MIDI Fighter Twister."
