"Fairly rare boutique analog synthesizer with a Vactrol filter. it gets extremely aggressive and down-right dirty & nasty. it has a nice squelch to it too so it's perfect for acid music, hardcore, industrial. It's a single oscillator monosynth with a built in 8-step analog sequencer & is MIDI controlable.
In perfect condition cosmetically. Functionally the Noise section does not work but everything else is 100% functional. So basically it looks great and works great other than the white noise knob."
"A look through the main features of the Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 12 Synthesizer Module. Let us know what you think!
We're just starting out creating some video content so apologies for the camera focus being a little out, we'll have that sorted for the next video - it's all a learning curve, huh?"
Join us Sunday April 15, 2018 from 1-6 PM at Melrose Market Studios for an afternoon of exploration and networking with fellow synthesizer enthusiasts! Try out some vintage gear, check out the latest products from Korg, Roland, and others, and share ideas and techniques for creating exciting new sounds. We will have a large space for tables and exciting product demonstrations for this event, so feel free to reserve a table if you would like to bring some gear to demo. Everyone is welcome!
For those of you bringing gear, feel free to arrive between noon and 1 PM for setup. Headphones or a small set of speakers are recommended. Also we will provide a single power source for your setup but it would be great if everyone could bring their own power strip. We will have someone at the front door to check you in. Click this link and enter your information to reserve your table!
We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the event!"
"The Base Station is the control center of the AR-48. Let's explore how it works:
Sound ( 1 )
The Sound section features 460 customizable instrument sounds and a synthesizer with three sub-oscillators. Sound parameters can be changed instantly and are easily visible on the section’s dedicated LCD screen.
Sequence ( 2 )
In the Sequence section, you can access and edit Songs or Pattern sequences, as well as save up to 384 patterns and 99 songs. Using the backlit LED buttons on the built-in 32-step loop sequencer, you can create musical patterns in real-time or add Swing or Tempo to any sequence of your choice.
Effect ( 3 )
The Effects section offers 16 Master Effects, including reverb, high- and low-pass filters, delay, bit crush, and more. Use them during song and pattern playback, in the studio, or during live performances.
Rec/Play ( 4 )
Record and save your music in seconds in the Rec/Play section. You can also use audio capture mode, record motion sequences, and save your work automatically.
Get Into The Ring
The AR-48’s Ring Controller lets your personality shine through. Have a look at its features:
16 Programmable Pads
The ARQ features 16 pressure-sensitive pads with programmable LEDs that allow you to play instrument sounds, trigger samples, and record sequences.
3-Axis Accelerometer
With the 3-axis accelerometer, you can use movement to trigger effects like delay and reverb. Each axis can be assigned to adjust any of your chosen effects parameters.
Easy Controls
Dedicated buttons let you play/pause tracks, solo and mute sections, as well as split, arpeggiate, and change effects. You can also switch between PAD and SCALE layout using the Ring’s dedicated buttons. The Grip Mode button prevents you from accidentally triggering pads when you pick up the Ring.
Optional Bluetooth Adapter
An optional BTA-1 Bluetooth adapter lets you use the Ring Controller wirelessly during live performances."
