ARP 2500 Bible - My BARP 2500 system 

Good deal! Thx

the breakouts are the bomb. they address the main shortcomings of the final designs of these modules. I just got them assembled & installed this past week.

William, thanks! as soon as you get a poly 16, loan it to me for a week & I'll do a video :)

Ok 👍

Thank for watching!

Thanks! Hanz!

Thanks for the sub!

Thanks Leon!

Martin. Thanks for watching. Check out my entire Behringer ARP 2500 series playlist (a superset of the ARP 2500 Bible series). I have at least three videos on the 1050 MixSequencer. Let me know what you think. ru-vid.com/group/PLNkPtu3RcWbR9y6PSWE1-wH6ejOCGbs2J

Thanks Tony! I'm sure you saw the links to the Tindie store for the expanders.

yes, thanks for that. just waiting for them to have stock. I like your AMS module too. @@ozhalljr

Hey, I forgot to ask about the oscillator individual waveform out module. Is there much soldering to do with this unit? Any pitfalls etc? It will certainly give a lot more options when using with the 1050! Cheers

The soldering is not too bad. The documentation is very clear. I use 5" length for the wires (22 awg). I also used 6 different colors (and made a diagram for the header/wire color). It's a little awkward on two spots: 1) ground, which takes a long time to heat up because of the "heat sinking" from the ground plane ... just be patient with soldering the ground 2) I used header & connector for the 6 pin header. It's a little tricky to wire the 6 pins without letting them short out (i.e. solder two adjacent wires/pins together). You could solder directly into the holes for the header on the PCB. That should be easier, but less flexible. Also be sure to tin the wires before soldering. it makes them easier to form around either a pin or the solder point on the main pcb.

thats just what I need to know. Thanks so much for the kind help.@@ozhalljr

Wow sounds like a great system. Would love to see pics or a video.

Calling your own video the bible is equally hilarious.

LOL. Yes, it's a little pretentious to call it the ARP 2500 Bible, but it is a series of videos in which I go into a great deal of detail that I have not found elsewhere.

@batchas duly noted. On the otherhand, the series goes into detail that goes well beyond the Behringer 2500 system, with topics such as matrix patching and passive mixing. Even in this video I'm referencing the original documentation and sample systems. So the series is more than just the B2500 modules.

@batchas for clarification I changed the title to ARP 2500 Bible - My BARP 2500 system

@@ozhalljr I didn’t watch your video, but I certainly will soon as you mention you go into details well beyond the Behringer 2500, which is nice. It means you take the opportunity of having a Behringer 2550 to explain more about the original ARP 2500, which is IMHO great. Having an original Arp 2500 at home or in a private studio in 2024 remaining quite an exception for a very very few (counted worldwide on one hand), the Behringer 2500 allows to get to the original sound of the amazing ARP 2500. I don’t have a Behringer, but it seems that Behringer is good when it comes to the sound character of the original synths they clone/copy, however we call it. The experience remains way different as the matrix is not present as it was on the original design, but still it can take people nearer to the sound of the original, for a very decent and affordable price (not going into the Behringer cloning polemic here). And also make them interested in the original (history, concept and so on). the purpose of your video if I understand your comment. The reason I wrote my comment and expressed my surprise was because I’m concerned by the fact that youtube is watched by many people and nowadays a lot of online info in general (media + social media included) is misleading, wrong, fake and so on. A tendency that is IMO always increasing. You wouldn’t want people to think (today or in 15 years) that what they see is the ARP 2500, knowing that Behringer is far (very far) to be its creator. I like the „BARP 2500“ term you use in the title that you changed.
