ARP Quartet demo

"Quick demonstration of some of the sounds from the ARP Quartet (same synth as the Siel Orchestra).
A classic string machine with a very lush ensemble effect. Also has a very warm brass section with a beautiful lfo. The piano is also particularly beautiful, sounds nothing like a piano though."

Update via Qwave in the comments:
"Some additional pictures and details here:

Some nice shots of the inside there as well.

"Quick demonstration of some of the sounds from the Korg M500SP Micropreset heavily used as main lead synth by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. A strange little monophonic preset synth, with a similar filter to the MS series. Very limited in actual synthesis capabilities, but has a fantastic tone and is great fun to play!

Korg M500SP Micropreset

"Some noodlings on the Korg M500SP Micropreset. A strange little monophonic preset synth, with a similar filter to the MS series. Very limited in actual synthesis capabilities, but has a fantastic tone and is great fun to play. Here I'm having tremendous fun with the filter, lfo and portamento, not to mention the keys and voice selection buttons!"
