How to Rebuild ARP Sliders


Published on Mar 19, 2013 New England Analog LLC·9 videos

"This video is a short tutorial explaining how to restore ARP sliders. We see many people spraying them out with deoxit, which usually only worsens the problem. To truly restore the feel of these sliders, they must be removed from the board, cleaned, and lubricated.
Sorry for the poor videography. The video was done on a whim to help somebody across the country who wanted advice."

Installing ARP Slider Caps
Published on Mar 21, 2013

"This is a quick demonstration of how to install replacement slider caps for ARP synthesizers. We offer replacement kits for the ARP Odyssey, Axxe, Omni, Avatar, and Explorer. We have red, yellow, blue, black, and white. For more info, check us out at www.NewEnglandAnalog.com"

ARP 2600 Fully Restored with Mods

"Many hours have been spent in upgrading the audio and cv path in critical areas.
Part of the list;

It was changed every 1/8" jack.
New and larger spring tank rever with lower noise circuits.
New power supply stable and accurate international power linear supply, currently, the AC input is hardwired for 230 volts.
Unit will operate with 220, 230 or 240 volts AC, but internal jumpering is possible for 110 operation.

The filter is an unmodified ARP 4012 design, (the MOOG FILTER).
The internal amps are modified for lower noise and faster slew rates.
1/4" output jacks, these jacks carry the left and right signals as provided by the output pan mixer, same as the 1/8" jacks below them.
The envelope generators have been modified. Lower offsets( output voltages when not being used) than stock. The AR gen has considerably fasters attacks
and added gate input not normally provided by Arp.
The ADSR has much faster decay and release times available than stock.
The gate button is a high reliability type ( used in Neve and Api consoles) and provides a larger surface and a softer feel tahn stock, in addition to lightning up with a gate signal.

COMPARATOR.
This circuit mod takes its input from the envelope follower input jack (not the EF output jack) and produces a very fast risetime gate for its output. This gate is dependent upon the level
of the ipunt signal and the setting of the threshold control (grey knob). The blue Led provides visual status operation.

LAG PROCESSOR.
This circuit has been modded so no offset voltages are present during usage. Can now be used for pitch voltages (glide) without tuning
problems when adjusted, can smooth out gate signals from the comparator gate output...etc."

Optigan TV Commercial


Published on May 1, 2013 chumrain·6 videos

"Finally...one has been found (I know that several people have been searching high and low and haven't come up with anything). Here is a long-lost television commercial for the Optigan, starring actor Carl Betz. This is a transfer of a 16mm print made using a video camera and projector, so while the film is in good shape, this video will leave a lot to be desired. I plan to have it professionally transferred at some point. Despite always being on the lookout for any Optigan-related media, I acquired this one accidentally when I purchased a lot of film commercials on eBay that came from the estate of Cherry Hill Productions. This commercial just happened to be one of them."

Getting started with mSequencer


Published on May 13, 2013 Ryan Hemeon·55 videos

"Here is a tutorial on how to get started with mSequencer (MIDI Pattern Sequencer). In this video I use mSequencer to control all 8 channels of Korg's iPolySix via virtual midi. This video doesn't even begin to touch what a great app this is. If there is interest in it, I will definitely be making more videos on some of the more advanced procedures you can use as well as a lot of other options I couldn't get to in this video.

I highly recommend using an external midi controller with this app to build your sequences.

Conclusion: This is an excellent app for anyone wanting to program midi sequences and send them to apps via virtual midi. It gives you a larger range of control then any other sequencer app I have ever used. This app does not support Audiobus but it definitely should. Well worth it's price.

Grab this app on the AppStore: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/midi-...

And be sure to visit http://www.iosmars.com for more great demos, reviews, and tutorial videos."

Introduction to Automation in mSequencer (MIDI Pattern Sequ
Published on May 14, 2013

"In this tutorial I show how to use the automation part of mSequencer (MIDI Pattern Sequencer). I control both Animoog and Korg iMS-20 with mSequencer and automate some knob turns in each app."
