ARP Avatar Demo #2 by 123synthland

We deal in vintage synthesizers, but you already know that. :) Here's the ARP Avatar we've currently got up for sale. The Avatar is essentially a keyboard-less version of the ARP Odyssey that was designed to be played by either a guitar or a CV Gate instrument like an old vintage keyboard with 1 volt per octave and gate outputs or an analog sequencer.
These days most people use them with a MIDI to CV converter or a guitar. These are pretty rare. They're often without the guitar pickup or their guitar circuitry isn't working right. This particular one was tested with a guitar, works well and comes with the hard to find guitar pickup as well. This series of video clips features the Avatar, with occasional help from a few other items we're unloading - a Roland RE-201 Space Echo, Roland SH-101 Blue and Oberheim Mini-Sequencer. All of the sounds are coming from the Avatar in all except 1 video where the SH-101 is patched through the filter together with the Avatar's oscillators. The reverb and delay effects are courtesy of the Roland Space Echo and any sequences you hear come from the Oberheim Mini-Sequencer and/or the SH-101. Several of these videos show just the ARP triggering itself, without a sequencer. Enjoy, and email me anytime at minime123@onebox.com

Unfortunatlt this is what killed ARP.

@Drivethebeat why thank you. :)

Hi, im curios on what makes the chords arpegiate. Have you recorded some chords and then choosen arpeggiator or is it just tuning and programming that makes it play these chords in arpeggio?

[123synthland]

@tobleronasahliv i dont remember exactly what i did, but i was also using the roland sh-101 sequencer as well as the oberheim mini-sequencer. we've got one a mini-sequencer available at the moment if you're interested.

HAHAHAHA, one of the funniest i ever heard!!

"hmmm...but the avatar is monophone...how can it play such a melody?!?! "

[123synthland]

@ZenAnalyse arp avatar + sh101 = 3 oscillators.

[ThemFunnyLookinGuys]

All this needs is a drum machine and you've got some trance.

[drkam6]

can someone post an avatar controlled by a guitar, the way it should be?

[Drivethebeat]

unfortunately this is what killed ARP.

[noddyspuncture]

I used to wear gloves - but I am better now...!

[tobleronasahliv]

And one more thing, what parameters is it you are tweaking? I have made alot of arpeggio songs and if i could get it to "live" like this it would be super. But im a newbi when it comes to synths.
