"A few obvious advantages of the 2600 V over the original hardware unit cannot be overstated.[...] For us it has become an immediate favourite -- a very worthy addition to anyone's virtual synth collection. "
"I have chosen to create a track from the period in which the Prophet 5 and VS rained supreme synth: the 80's. The bass sounds are deep, the highs very airy and atmospheric. It was easy to achieve the 80's funk disco style of the time using the Prophet V."
Three ARP2600 V have been used for this short sequence:
the rhythmic patern is played by the preset "Celmar Engel / Sequences / cheap Bossa" (an old analog rythme box like sounds)
A simple bass sound (JM.Blanchet/Basses/JMB_Bass_SubOsc) played in sequence with Cubase SX.
A warm pad sound based on the "C.Engel/Pads/ CE_RythmPad02", using a resonant low pass filter frequency swept by the MIDI synchronized sample and hold, and a slow sinus wave LFO.
12 minimoog V tracks in Cubase SX. No additional samples were used. All the sounds used in this piece are available in a preset bank of the minimoog V plug-in. Many thanks to the author, Jean-Michel Blanchet.
CSolo is a short composition demonstrating the expressive power of the CS-80V when played with polyphonic aftertouch. The piece uses one preset and was performed in real time. Only reverb was added.
