Pinging the ARP 2500

This is a self playing patch on the ARP 2500. There are no envelopes used in this patch - it uses a gate from one of the S&H sections to "ping" the Resonant Multimode Filter - a very cool feature that gives a really nice, organic sounding tone, that can be pitched however you want. Its like having an extra voice to make use of. This patch also uses frequency modulations to vary the timbre in an evolving way. Video shot on a vintage Sony DSR500 camera

brains are weird. machines that brains make are weird. why are these noises so fascinating and enjoyable?

[@memetunestudio]

This is probably one of the weirdest machines ever made!

[@DrJ3RK8]

Beautiful. The ARP 1047 is one of my favorite filters.

[@davidryle]

Thanks for the close up images. Such a classy synth.

[@alancurrall]

All my favourite sounds in one video! Thanks Benge.

I love the sound of the 2500! It sounds like Analog FM to my ears, worlds apart from the 2600 ❤

[@memetunestudio]

Totally agree - I never really got on with the 2600 - it was a bit chewy

[@falangistavaleroso9689]

@@memetunestudio yes, 2600 is a hype. I had a grey meanie in the 90s, bad unsnappy envelopes. 2500 sounds as VCS3 or Buchla. real machine!

[@RadicalCaveman]

The 2500 has far richer sound than FM.

[@InFamousProductions]

Hey, how did you get access to one of these. I’m soooooooo jealous

[@smartti1970]

how does the acceleration and slow down of the sequencer hapens ?

[@temporoboto]

why stop pinging?💙👍💙

[@autecheee]

CHAPGPT AI couldn’t compose and generate this organic self-playing-analog piece…..only Benge could

[@memetunestudio]

Ha ha - very true I think

[@Synths-n-Guitar]

An amazing synth, I believe this one was used for the synth sections in the Logan's Run soundtrack.

[@WeirdBlinkingLights]

can I rent that 2500 for $1.00 for a year plz?

[@memetunestudio]

No

[@WeirdBlinkingLights]

@@memetunestudio dang

[@falangistavaleroso9689]

you could put the non compressed sound so I sample, what does the knob "keyboard percusion"?

[@memetunestudio]

The switch sends the keyboard gate to ping the filter, or you can send any gate to ping it via the gate/trig input like I am doing here

[@falangistavaleroso9689]

@@memetunestudio very interesting, I watched yesterday the awful clones of that module lack of that function. This synth sounds way better than the 2600 mk1 i had in the 90s that I never liked it.

[@Stazma]

Ping them aaaaaall
