video upload by Synth Tailor Electronics
"Here's a classic ARP 2600 / 3620 Keybed + Eventide FL201 Instant Flanger that were just restored by our shop! The FL201 paired up with the ARP 2600 is such a delight! Lots of love went into restoring the Arp 2600/3620 Keybed. The 1601 sequencer is a replica that functions exactly the same as the vintage sequencer!
ARP 2600 restoration details:
-PSU Rebuilt
-Tantalum Capacitors changed
-Every Slide Potentiometer desoldered, disassembled, cleaned and re-greased (this is no small job, there are 55 sliders to rebuild!)
-Rebuilt entire 3620 key-bed including new rubber bushings, alignment of all keys/metal guides, cleaning of all gold contacts
-3620 rebuild of LHC. New Bourns sliders/adapters added for better reliability/functionality.

Korg DW6000 rack mount conversion with editor
video upload by Craig Barnes
"I bought this DW6000 for £100 a few years back, after fixing a few issues and adding an editor it didn't warrant taking up a keyboard space, so I'm converting it to a 19" rack. First thing to do is build a condensed front panel."

Arp Of Darkness With Seventh Summoner in a small case @FileTransferProtocol
video upload by FlatSix Modular
"Playing around with the small case, today. Just wanted to showcase what could be done with an Arp of Darkness and a Seventh Summoner, side by side. Patch notes:
Pam’s Pro clocking everything. Seventh Summoner sequencing and real-time transposing a Braids (pluck program) running through Data Bender, and a MultiVersio on the LoFi program. A couple of Disting MK4’s are running the bass drone on one with an LFO on the other that is modulating a Pittsburgh Modular filter. That’s being sequenced by an Ornament & Crime running the Phaserville Suite. The Arp Of Darkness is arpeggiator a Dust Of Time (swarm program) and that’s running through a Busy Circuits MFX on the 2051 Bit Corrupter program and a stereo delay on another Disting MK4. Finally, there’s an Erica Synths Pico drum running some rhythmic duties and an EP-133 with the main drums off to the side."
