We recently refurbished and also refinished this beautiful 6 foot long ARP 2003. The predecessor to the ARP 2500. I Don't usually end up playing the blues, but this particular patch suggested it.
Thank you very much for not just "squeezing some sounds out of that beautiful Instrument", but presenting us some kind of music! ....and by the way: this thing sounds as beautiful as it looks!
Great Sound! Great view! Great piece of furniture! And a lot of money for those standard sounds. But the feeling must be incredible working on such a beauty!
Your restoration looks gorgeous. The only 2500s that I ever saw before - photos, looked dingy and industrial, with an oxidized front panel and scarred and dull wooden frames, this one though - the shiny panel is beautiful, and the frame looks like fine furniture.
WoW...just....WoW!!. If only I could get an opportunity to get one. These things are that rare I've never even heard of it. I always assumed they went from 2500 to 2600. Oh I want this so bad...Sigh!!
@@Skraboing649 The 2003 is actually just the synth (not keyboard) part of the 2500, or an early version thereof. ARP was initially a division of Tonus.
cool demo! I've got an obscure tech question on the 2500. If you have the 1050 mix/seq and 1027 seq connected (behind the panel) and you have a 10 step sequence on the 1027, what happens at step 9 on the 1050?
That’s insane!!! Wow what a sound. Is that a 2500 module on the left, it looks similar to the sequencer but I don’t know exactly. Wow what a wild huge sound
99% of all musicians would come to either one of 2 conclusions.................. 1) It's too expensive for me to buy.................. 2) I couldn't POSSIBLY use it for enough practical purposes to justify buying it even if I could buy 5 of them.
That thing is beautiful! What is causing the change of speed in the sequencer module? Is it an inverted ENV modulating frequency of the VCO supplying clock?
The ant takes care of the random VCO combined with the intertwined VFF dropdown by opening the envelope. I'm surprised that you vintage synthesiser guys and galls did not know that.
