Bob Weigel of www.sounddoctorin.com assisted by Mr. Baxter who asks annoying questions to help confuse me, demonstrates basic 8'/4' mix on some of the classic string machines of the 70's. The Freeman String Symphonizer, Crumar Multiman, ARP Omni, Roland RS-202, Korg PE-2000, Hohner Stringer, and the late 70's and early 1980 ARP Quartet (Siel Orchestra) and the Moog Opus 3.

What a surreal demo! A priceless treasure trove of vintage synths set up outside in a random grassy lot in Somewhere, USA. Awesome!

+Eff Yiew Good news..I just saw Baxter the other day while going through the MT town where he lives. HIs house had been taken down that he was in so I wasn't sure where to find him and felt led to just go into a convenience store and there he was buying a beer. He seems to be doing better in health than he was last time I saw him. He's struggled with a lot of health issues the last few years and wasn't sure he'd still be alive but he's as 'mean as ever' he said :-)

Great job, Bob! My first job as a technician at Lowrey was to tune the CSS (Freeman String Symphonizer) in 1974. I had to let it warm up for a half hour before tuning to let the oscillators stabilize. It was a great instrument.

I've always loved the sound of the string machines. I just didn't know what they were. 10 years ago I created a sound for a song with a Roland JD 800 where I combined 4 analog sounding string-like sounds together, detuned them from each other and added a slow phaser effect. Maybe I was subconsciously trying to achieve a sound like Jean-Michel Jarre used in Oxygène for example. I only found out about string machines maybe a year after that. Now I own a Hohner String Melody and a Siel Orchestra.

The ARP Omni, Moog Opus 3, and Hohner are still here in the museum/studio you can see virtual tour of on the soundddoctorin sdstudio page or come by if you're in Bozeman, MT. I also have the improved multiman (Orchestrator). The Korg PE2000, Roland RS202 ARP Quartet, Freeman and Multiman all found new homes. I have the OR400 similar to the quartet also and the Korg PE1000 which is more interesting but do miss that niche of the 2000. Each one is so unique but only so much room to have things accessible here. About 70 keyboards set up in the mix.

sounds great! what do you prefer, the opus 3 or the arp omni? i already have the moog, but i'm toying with the idea of getting the arp as well
@sounddoctorin
@sounddoctorin 6 лет назад
The opus is more flexible...omni has the great bass sound and both have a good range of sounds. arp's ensemble is real good of course but the filter on the moog makes the strings more useful I think. Both have their niche things so it somewhat depends on personal taste. Both have great sounds but certainly much more conifigurability on the moog.

I learned how to play electronic strings from listening to the Moody Blues and the Mellotron. to make it sound more realisitic, they didn't always play handfuls of notes like this demonstrator is doing. sometimes they did but the more realistic "violin" sounds was the single note. and they used things like a slower attack and a slower release time which gave it that lush beautiful real string sound. Just sayin
