The ARP 2600: Oscillators Part 3

[wefrybaconnaked]

so sexy.

[chieftp]

sounds like 2 retarded cats fighting with each other! or a gopher caught in a lawn mower!

[Tracebebo]

put up a vid of u playin frankenstein on this motherfury

[marius1267]

dude...I envy you :)

[mysticradio]

a synthi A..... i own one... its in a samsonite briefcase... I also have the cricklewood keyboard for it.. thats rare... and two modules encased in wood..... ive been offered over $7000 for the lot

[fabrizio576]

i know that the 4012 filter is like a copy of the moog filter.....is the 4013 similar....is it any good?....better or worst

[Spazum888]

thought the theremin was confuzing....

[mysticradio]

cause for live its all at your fingertips ready to go.. THATS WHY..... ITS A PERFORMANCE issue

[mysticradio]

oh ya.. gimme a Korg Oasys AND ITS YOURS

[AutomaticGainsay]

Psh... why even covet an Oasys? It's just a computer running software like any other computer running software.

[mysticradio]

well.... new fangled controllers have PLENTY of knobs to play with..... essential ones anywho...

I have an EMS Aks with Cricklewood keyboard... its cool to have the synth they made DARK SIDE OF THE MOON WITH.

Dont play it much.. but i was offered 6k by a Japanese fella

[AutomaticGainsay]

You are morally obligated to give the EMS to me. : )

[metabog]

Actually, the synth they used for Dark Side was the EMS Synthi 1 (I think).

[mysticradio]

they probably have them for sentimental reasons.

like antique furniture. Cant let them go.

I GUARANTEE... if we went head to head live... you have ARP2600 and me with Muse Research Receptor loaded with OMNISPHERE.... and other soft synths.... my show would dazzle them 1000x as much....

I saw the Frankenstein tour with Edgar Winter.... like i said good for their day... and yes i know about cold 80s synths... had a DX7 but coupled it with Roland MKS80 superjupiter.

[AutomaticGainsay]

Well, there's no doubt you'd be able to create more complex sounds, but there is something to be said for visual impact and the entertainment value which exists in physical manipulation of a musical instrument. I guarantee keyboard enthusiasts would be more excited about seeing a 2600 on stage. In the end, we'd probably be playing our asses off, and the audience would be looking at the guitar player. ; )

[mysticradio]

its all we had in those days

[AutomaticGainsay]

Well, strangely enough, a lot of people who had or played the great synths of the 70s in the 70s still own, use, and swear by them. You might also remember the 80s, where a lot of people with your viewpoint changed their mind when they discovered how inexpressive and cold digital synthesizers sounded. Granted, software synthesis is infinitely more powerful than analog synthesis, it still lacks the desirable aural quality which makes these synthesizers valuable.

[mysticradio]

i owned one of these in teh 70s..... so gimme a break.

i had these when you were in diapers.. they were over $3000..... and had mini moog and mellotron. OUT of tune analog is not that appealing in retrospect

[AutomaticGainsay]

I might be a bit older than you suspect, but fair enough.

One might wonder why you shelled out $3000 for something so "out of tune." I don't have any tuning problems with any of my analog synthesizers... unless you mean the fact that you have to tune them. In that case, I'm sure you save your self seconds or even minutes of time per year with software. ; )

[mysticradio]

id rather have the SPECTRASONICS OMNISHPERE....

[AutomaticGainsay]

Well, nothing is stopping you. They're cheap and plentiful. Stop wasting your time watching videos about historic musical instruments and buy your software!

[DaedalusWolf]

One on my favorite keyboard and I think it's one if the best ever made......

[markymassacre]

i would fuck a fat bitch for one of these

[audiocreator]

DrNerdware loves cake

[moreausylvain]

nice job dude... now go on to the filter ... can't wait :)

[VintageGearFreak]

Great videos.. Love the Arps!

[AutomaticGainsay]

Thanks!

[chazum0]

something about the module just makes it seem russian it must be be the black and yellow... i really dont know.btw i play the alesis micron

[retrosound72]

Pure ARP! Great.

Thanks :-)

[VCO81]

that intro makes it feel like tuning into a favorite tv show each week, especially with your cruel postponing of videos. ;)

you realize you now must do this for every synthesizer ever made (at least the analogs).

[AutomaticGainsay]

I'm sorry if it's cruel! I just want to make sure no one feels rushed in the viewing.

I have done it with a lot of the analogs! The 2600 videos are just way more in depth because the danged thing is so complicated. I do plan to make another Minimoog video, though... something showing the breadth of timbral opportunity! I would like to do a Memorymoog, a VCS3, an MS-20 (I had one, but I never demoed it) and some Oberheim stuff... but I don't have any of those!

[VCO81]

cruel like having to wait for the new episode of "___" once a week. not a bad cruel!

oberheim 2, 4 or obx, or any modular new or old is my request. you will have top network ratings.

[Spacerboy]

hey... i am looking for a korg MS-20 ..´

[AutomaticGainsay]

Well, if you find one, lend it to me, and I'll make a demo of it. : )

[SubSynthesis]

I would love to see you do a VCS3 video.

[Jrayk1]

This synth doesn't even need a keyboard. So many modulation possibilities...

[Jrayk1]

I love this series :)

[uneaseintheair]

...Wow, what a strange synth... But a really really good one!! This is an awesome video! :D I really like a of the saw waves. Those are really nice.

5/5
