ARP QUADRA analog synthesizer from the year 1979

demo of all four synth sections (analog strings and phase shifter, poly-synth, bass-synth, lead-synth)

The Quadra is a four-section synthesizer consisting of a bass-synth (monophonic), poly-synth (full polyphonic), lead-synth (duophonic), and Solina like analog strings (full polyphonic)

The synth has included a awesome phase shifter, dual portamento controls and fantastic arpeggiator."

"Playing around with Steve Reich's "Piano Phase" on a Make Noise/Expert Sleepers 3U, with a little help from a Korg NanoKontrol and Ableton Live.

Ableton details:

Nanokontrol channels 1-4 control the signal inputs (DPO A sine, DPO A saw, DPO B sine, DPO B final):
Fader: Input level
Top button: turns Beat Repeat on/off
Middle button (not used here): toggles Beat Repeat output mode (Mix/Insert/Gate)
Bottom button: Engages record/overdub on a Looper (via sends A, B, C, D)

Nanokontrol channels 5-8 control the returns (A, B, C, D, each containing a Looper effect):
Faders: Return level
Top button: activates/deactivates Looper
Middle button (not used here): pitches loop up
Bottom button (not used here): pitches loop down
