Echoes on Analogue Heaven are it's not like the real thing. The parameter vales don't answer the same way. Sound is so-so…
I don't have a 2600 or owned one so I can't judge myself. Now it's STILL in beta, it wasn't supposed to be OUT already?

oops I sent my last note by accident before I'd finished enlightening everyone about Joe Zawinul's viagra treatment for tired Arp 2600 solo's. He simply inverted the keyboard (ie playing further to the right on the keyboard the *lower* the note heard, and vice verca.) I'm not sure if modern synths can do this now....I expect so, but in '75 that was really out there and a radical thing to do in a gigging band, or anywhere else for that matter!W.R. were a strange mix of personality clashes, with Jaco (Pastorius not Jackson)doing his 'moonwalk' across the stage while he rest of the band cringed with sort of disowned him for that tune!hehehe
Getting back to *bad tempiered claviers* and funny arrangements and unequal divisions of pitch increments... My old EMS Synthi A is stranger still: one can say...tune the 'spread' of the keyboard so that for example C to the F# above, an interval of sharp fourth (or a flat five to those of a certain vintage:-) sounds as a whole octave. Then if you play a chromatic run it actually sounds like a whole tone scale, eg CDEF#G#A# etc!! and conversely the other way round resulted in a run of quarter tones!(and those were just the musically acceptable ones it could get much more peculiar believe me! Wait till they release a software Arp 2500, me want, although my twenty odd year delusion that it was simply *THE* synth to own in the event of a third kind of close encounter were shattered by the revelation that the famous litttle catchy EDC...CG!! alien tune was actually played on a simple cheap little Yamaha synth, the monster ARP was just for show.. cheers, Jaysee |
