ARP 2500 Patch sheets
This is the way you recorded your patches back in the early 1970s if you owned a ARP 2500.
I thought these were pretty cool. (sorry, this pic is upside down).
Cutouts & Glue. :-)

Pocket Piano - Critter & Guitari
This is a great little unit which does much more that it's looks like it does.
A beautiful union between craft and machine. Polished aluminium vs wood.
They are all handmade in Brooklyn NY.
Features include:
• Vibrato Synth
• Harmonic Sweeper
• Two-Octave Arpeggiator
• Octave Cascade
• Mono FM Synth
• FM Arpeggiator
I haven't got around to hacking this yet.
Begging to be opened up and attacked with a soldering iron.
There is also a midi version

Pioneer CDJ 1000 Mk1
I think I'm finally going to sell one of my treasures.
No it's not the ARP 2500 or any Buchla! In monetary terms it not in their league.
This is more of a sentimental loss.
I friend wants to buy my Pioneer CDJ 1000. It's a Mark1 .... the first CDJ I bought. This was back in 2001.
I'm trying to create some room so it seems logical to sell, and I have some fine Pioneer 2000 Nexus's
which do everything except cook my dinner.
Back in 2001 I think I paid something like $3000. I only bought one .. it was all I could afford.
But it allowed me to play my own tracks in the club. I used one vinyl deck & one CDJ1000.
The CDJ-1000 (retroactively known as the mk1 after the release of mk2) is generally accepted as the first CD player that can accurately emulate a vinyl turntable - including the ability to scratch - This is why it quickly became the market leader and the club standard.
The original mk1 was discontinued in 2003 during the introduction of the mk2 into the market.
The CDJ-1000 (and its reincarnations) are currently the most widely used DJ-style CD decks to be found in the booths of the world's best nightclubs.
I'm half hoping my friend changes his mind and decides not to buy this. There are MarkIIs galore but few Mark Is. Like the Technics 1200 is considered to be a icon of the 20th century, I think this will come to be recognised as a icon of the 21st century.

ARP 2500 - Filter bubbles
Set filter resonance all the way up and use an LFO to modulate the
cutoff.
The 2500 doesn't have a dedicated LFO, but the 1023 VCO module has a slow range
which does a fine job here.... though a separate LFO would be useful.
I'm also using an envelope and some random voltages to modulate the LFO speed.
You could also just turn the LFO speed knob by hand.

arp 2500 - SOME LIVE TWEAKING of the 1045
Some more sounds from the 1045 voice module of the ARP 2500.
There are two 1045 modules in this video.
I used a 1023 VCO to modulate the filter of the first 1045.
In low range its a LFO
...
The 1016 noise and random nodule is also used to trigger some envelopes of the 1045s.
The full patch is here:

ADAT
The ADAT Lightpipe is officially known as the ADAT Optical Interface.
It was developed by Alesis.
It stands for e Alesis Digital Audio Tape
It uses fiber optic cables to carry data.
Its very popular today and many third party hardware manufacturers use Lightpipe interfaces on their equipment.
Lightpipe uses the same connection hardware as S/PDIF, but dont be confussed.
Both have Toslink
connectors at either end.
The data
streams of the two protocols are incompatible.
S/PDIF is used for
transferring stereo or multi-channel surround sound audio
ADAT in comparison, supports up to 8 audio channels at 48 kHz, 24 bit
