This video, via David Baron, captures a synth jam created with a vintage ARP 2500 modular synthesizer.
Video Summary:
“Created entirely with the Arp 2500 Modular Synthesizer. A very rare synthesizer that was the chief competitor to Moog during the late 60s and early 70s.
Most of them were sold to rock stars (Pete Townshend) or universities. A large system was used to communicate with the aliens in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”
Always awesome to see this classic beauty being put thru it’s paces !
If you have steady access to one of these, much less two or three like a Moog 15 or a Schmidt, forget about your real life. There won’t be any time for that nonsense. You’re going to be too busy programming. You don’t just play modulars or pipe organs; you take them to spring break every time you turn them on. Some marriages don’t croak over porn; they croak over that synth cave. Sequence your way into court in just 16 steps!
the most beautiful synth IMO
Out of sight!!! I want one!
great sounds, great track
