    What's fantastic about this is that I don't think anybody has done a "from scratch" kind of video with the 2500 on TH-cam to date. It's also the 50th anniversary of the launch of the 2500 (or "Series 2000 Modular Studio Synthesizer") this Autumn too, so your timing is very fitting.
    I was eagerly chuckling with joy whilst watching because I had the exact same reactions you did when I got the unforgettable experience of a day with a 2500 last year. "They're sliders and not pins?!", "The sequencer clock runs into the audio range?" Etc.
    Sounds like nothing else doesn't it. Incredible synth.
    Also didn't know the influence of computer science on Dennis P Colin's 1047 multimode filter. I've got the paper too, so I feel embarrassed. He also designed the SEM filter for Tom Oberheim in case you didn't know.
    Anyway, I'm rambling but this was a beautiful video.

      @@Hainbach Yes, the ARP documentary was a portal to another world thanks to the access I was so kindly granted. That period from 1964 - 1972 where a very small group of innovators defined the following decades is truly magical. Those synths feel like they have no rules or preconceptions.
      Moog and ARP are obviously major players there, but there's a bit less about Buchla and EMS out there. Apparently a Synthi 100 is being restored in the north of England with lottery funding. Hopefully that will happen.
      And yes, would love to do a collaboration at some point on some topic or piece of equipment.

    I saw the Canadian group Syninx in 1971. They had a fantastic 2500 with 2 wing cabinets. The sound was quadraphonic and the 2500 was the most amazing thing I had ever heard. Mesmerizing and fluid sound from all directions. A trip into timelessness. John Mills-Cockell was an extraordinary mad scientist making evocative sounds and soundscapes. A truly remarkable concert I will never forget. Since then the 2500 has been an even more important icon. Thank you so much for letting us into the inner sanctum once more. Cheers

    I learned the basics of synthesis on a 1970 ARP 2500 when I studied Composition & Technology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. At the time I thought it was cool because it was old and I knew Pete Townshend used one but I didn't grasp how special an experience that was until I was about to graduate.

    Eddie Jobson created the electronic section of UK's "Nevermore" entirely on the 2500.

    I bet using the Syntrx made you feel more comfortable on the VCS. Nice work, Herr Hainbach.

    • @Hainbach

      Oh yes! The patch I played on the VCS has the ring modulator engaged, which made it hard at first for me to join the fun. Now I know the architecture of that synth.

      Up until today when I watched this video, I honestly thought the VCS3 was like a distant cousin to the 2500 because of the pin matrix.

    I have a TTSH ARP 2600 but I'm excited that Behringer are going to make a euro 2500. Just wish I had the money! In the 80's in a music shop called Chase in London Tottenham court road I once saw 2 wings of a 2500 for £1000 each. Granted that was comparatively a fair bit back then, but it wouldn't have been too out of reach. I sometimes wished I'd saved for at least one wing then because as you know the prices now are crazy & way beyond the means of mere mortals like me. I always thought those slider things were pots, but from viewing the Behringer it seems they are patch selectors?

    Like the way you're quieting down everything, "Hainbach style" when it's going a bit too teknoid🙏👍 And btw, me too, the first time I saw a picture of a 2500 (maybe Jarre's one?) I thought it was patch pins like on Putneys, AKS or Vostoks and not at all sliders!
    Oh and btw2, received my long awaited SyntRX, just last week 😀❤️❤️❤️

    Good memories! In the '80s and early '90s this beast was standing in the CEM studio in Arnhem. I spend a lot of nights trying to understand all the funky functions.
    But I liked the Serge modular (sometimes in view on the left of them) even better. And the "Putney" is just sweet!

    Hi. Certainly One can google it but would you please recommend some artists that have recorded their works at this studio, some songs or albums in which this great gear was used. Pardon my request if is much to ask, and thanks in advance. Thanks for your channel and your videos and your work.

      Hi there, several albums have been release with certain sounds and/or processing. Full tracks with the instruments are for instants from Andrea taeggi (Berlin), Waclav Zimpel (Poland) and Atte Kantonen (Helsinki). Someone made a Discogs page (not yet up te date):
      look for Willem Twee studios. Many more releases in the pipeline: Terrence Dixon, Albert van Abbe, Bytone, and more:-)

      It's a modular analog computer from Siemens, used as a classroom-trainer for PID control problems (like feedback controllers for industrial processes).
      Has banana I/O and combines great with the Serge.
