This series of talks with successful and interesting people from the music-sound-producer-promoter scene has the motto “Learning about and learning from”. Rolf´s guest is the German electronic musician, composer and sound artist Bernd-Michael Land.

Born on June 11th 1954 he is one of the German electronic musicians of the first hour.

 I show the general structure of the synth: oscillators, scenes, FX, modulators, Global functions with MPE, scales, micro   tuning, Wavetables, patch categories and patch browser etc.

 There are going to be 6 more videos in this series:

 Part 2: The oscillators, their parameter-sets and wave presets

 Part 3: The scenes and their parameters

 “The ARP 2500 Part 6 – The Sample And Hold Module 1036” is online now. You can watch the whole video of more than 1 hour on YouTube:

And here is the content/timeline:

0:01:00 Basic Functionality of S&H Modules, Corn Flakes And a Child´s Toy

It´s a full-fledged piece of sound-art now!

The track "Morning Haze" is inspired by the text "Morning Haze" by Rolf Kasten. This text was firstly published on the Internet in the 5th Video (non-public, donationware or members only) of the series about the ARP 2500 (formerly only about the Behringer clones, now extended to the G2500, to Voltage Modular´s version and to Mos-Labs products), where it serves as a textural demonstration of some functions of the Multimode Filter Module 1047.

It´s the longest and the most complex video I´ve ever made.

I have divided it into 5 parts, so that you can watch them on Dropbox without the need to download the whole project.

Only parts A and D are a bit longer than 1 hour (the longest time Dropbox allows us to watch online). You will lose the last 5 minutes of Part A and about 3 seconds of Part D, if you don´t want to download them (but you can download them of course).

Making this video was a challenge. It´s part 5 in my series about the ARP 2500, and it´s about the Multimode Filter / Resonator module 1047.

The more than 4 hours of video for "The ARP 2500 Show" is finished. More about it on Wednesday evening.

Part 4 of my series about the ARP 2500 is finished and ready to watch (for members* only). It´s all and everything about Behringer´s hardware remake of the oscillator module 1004 (-T). Then the video compares the hardware remake with Voltage Modular´s software version, and both with the functionality of the original ARP module from the 1970s. There´s even a short excursion to compare the ARP module with the Roland oscillator module 112. A bit of patching rounds the video up. The public trailer is on YouTube (see link).

Do you know this?

You see and hear somebody doing something interesting, something beautiful, something you would like to do too.

You try.

It´s not what you had expected it to be, it´s not how you had expected it to be.

So you fiddle with your equipment.
