ARP Avatar / Odyssey Demo #4 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

man, this resonance and distortionlike feedback is really like shootin me out in the universe...which amp do you use?

keep goin!

[123synthland]

@ionman87 thanks, im glad you liked it. thats just the avatar going through a roland re-201 space echo and out through speakers on a standard stereo system, nothing fancy beyond the re-201.

You know with these rubber gloves you're likely to rub off the print. Use coton if you feel it's needed man.

[123synthland]

@garagecrap no need for concern... ive never rubbed off any print with rubber gloves, nor will i ever.

[ElasticMinds]

wow, that is quite a mesmerizing sound to be quite honest. Its like you can fall into a trance with it. I need a space echo!

[123synthland]

@ElasticMinds we do sell them from time to time...

[123synthland]

thank you for showing our youtube friends how obnoxious some people can be. :) this was a demonstration of the sounds an avatar can make, not how good my playing chops are (or arent).
