ARP 2500 Synthesizer Demo 2

As vintage synth dealers we get to play with a lot of fun toys most people never see. Here's a patch we quickly set up on an ARP 2500 while preparing it for sale. This was inspired by the Giorgio Moroder / Donna Summer "I Feel Love" bassline. Yeah, we could have synced up another sequencer to automatically transpose the pattern, but ya get what ya pay for, ok?! ;) To the usual critics - this was not made to impress you, it was quickly thrown together to give people an idea of a small fraction of sounds someone with an understanding of programming can get out of the ARP. We also feel it's important to point out that it's not the modular synth that makes the sound - it's the person who programs it. So your results may vary. One of these days we're going to show you the kinds of sounds you can get out of a "lowly" Paia when you know what you're doing. ;) Email us anytime at minime123@onebox.com
Enjoy!

Amazing! How many VCO's? Did the 2500 also create the BD and SD?

thanks :) everything here is 2500 except the background noise. the bass sound is 2 oscillators. if i remember correctly, the kick a self oscillating filter and the snare was noise + filter. so probably only 2 oscillators in this patch. you should be able to reproduce this pattern on most modular synths, and a lot of non-modulars too if you've got a sequencer and multitracking capability. i posted this patch more for the disco lightshow than anything else.  :)
