ARP AXXE + minimoog

The AXXE is a very cool little synth and I would say that it complements the minimoog well. It has things the minimoog does not like 'sample and hold' and ADSR control over the OSC, not to mention keyboard repeat which is tied to the main LFO clock. This video shows the first time I got to noodle around with the two synths. I ran the main audio out from the minimoog into the AXXE audio in which really just goes into the filter just like the minimoog. You can still hear some weirdness with the AXXE but I am close to getting it all tightened up.

The AXXE belongs to Mike Johnston who recently acquired it and asked me if I could work on it and cure some of its weird behavior. I was not sure I could fix it but I told him I would take a look because I have never had the pleasure to fool with an ARP synth.

The sounds in this video are all just a minimoog and the ARP AXXE shown. A little delay was added to the recording later to sweeten up the sound.

Again I would like to thank Andrew Cortens for use of the minimoog, and Mike Johnston for letting me make a vidie with his ARP.

Sounds cool. Good job!

Great demo. Thanks!

Any idea what the cause of the pitch tracking problem with the Axxe might be? Dry electrolytics? My Moog Taurus ones do the same thing.
