ARP 2500 Modular and TR-808

Just a small jam on the 2500 with the 808 triggering it and mixed in.

[Link0126]

is this multitracked or is this making all those sounds (minus the 808 drums) at once?

[buchla300]

@Link0126 no multitracking. straight to video.

how hard was this to program, if it was even a challenge for you?

[buchla300]

@RockaRollaZombie It's easy enough tbh. The ARP is patched with sliders and it's pretty quick and well laid out.

Someone at Warp sign this guy immediately!!!!!!

@SPFXsynthesisers :-)

How come you're the only person that seems to operate a modular synth properly? 90% of the youtube videos here are people just making noise on $6000+ equipment...

Yeah, man, I keep telling the wife we really, really need a 2500 for contacting the aliens, and you know what? It feels as if she doesn't trust me one hundred percent on this.

Unfair!

[neogeo53]

where did you get this?

[jazzliscious13]

@SPFXsynthesisers I agree 100%! Let me know when it happens because I want this track on a well-mastered 12" vinyl. Take my previous suggestion just to add an extra couple layers and put it on good-quality vinyl. Yes I would pay $15.00 for it! It is a well-conceived and fairly well-executed track! I really like it! Its simplicity is its greatest strength. It's the essence of all the greatest techno!

@basementdweller1 yes I agree, most people putting videos of synths demos here are just wasting bandwidth. Pure nonsense for the most part. Why do these people get such great synths if they don't even know how the hell they work....

The synth demonstration video to end all synth demonstration videos - it doesn't get better than this ....

@davedagreat69

You're absolutely right, it is an 8-step sequence produced on a 10-step sequencer. I accidentally hit the "9" key instead of the "8" key when I made the post. I actually noticed the typo right after I made the post and I thought about making a correction. However, I didn't think it was worth the waste of time. ;-)

[davedagreat69]

@MrCamelneck I can only spot 8 steps.

[MrCamelneck]

Although this 9-step sequence may be fairly simple in terms of what a modular synthesizer can do, I still consider this video to be one of the best videos on YouTube as far as demonstrating the "musical capabilities" of a modular synthesizer.

Although the ARP 2500 & Moog Modular synths may be more basic and less complex than the modular synths made by Buchla & Serge, IMHO I think they are superior in terms of reproducing more traditional musical instruments!

Your ARP 2500 sounds amazing!
