It's funny that it's missing lots of sliders, it has no control over AR, VCF, Voltage Processor, or S&H. It obviously still generally works as long as the VCF is set.
With a couple of exceptions, I'd be surprised if there were any albums for which his ARP 2600 (or Daniel Miller's back in the Depeche Mode days) was not used. This is one of Vince's (and Depeche Mode's and lots of others') main, baseline, workhorse synths that he turns to first to get things started, along with his Roland modular synths (700 and 100M). The only exceptions are _Nightbird_ and _Light at the End of the World_ , which were made while all of Vince's vintage gear was in storage across the pond (i.e. the Atlantic Ocean). He used only software synths on those two albums, but one of them was Arturia ARP 2600 V. 😁 On _Chorus_ Vince definitely used his ARP 2600 for recording, and while he couldn't take it with him on the concert tour (which mostly used actual synths mounted in his "tank"), I'm pretty sure that some drum sounds from it were sampled on his Akai MPC60 (with hard drive). He brought the Juno-60, Jupiter-8, Prophet-5, Minimoog, and Oberheim Xpander. All of these have patch memory, which makes sense for a live show, except for the Minimoog, which Vince would either leave alone between songs (so it played the same bass sound over and over) or patch by hand when necessary (like in the really old days); the others only required a button push or two to change the sounds for the next song.
@@rbrtck On a clip when Erasure did rough demo's of Perfect Stranger and Chorus on the latter the ARP 2600 was doing the bass line, Roland System 100M and 700M doing the Arp and distinct sounds. All controlled by a Roland MC-4 and ARP sequencer.
You can really tell that Vince is in love with synthesizers. It's so great to see.
The jam at the end shows why Vince is a legend,
now i understand how all the boingy sounds on speak & spell were made. it was daniel millers lava lamp.
Thanks Vince. You' the man.
vince is the best
Yes , is the best cause of him exist Depeche mode, yazz, erasure
"Quite good" - Basildon Evening Echo :-)

I Love Vince and ARP2600🙂👍🏽

SUPER COOL
Any option to get all Vince Clarke's analogue monologues series? With Pro-One, Kobol and other synths? Thank you! This video is a jewel!
What?
No dead bolt on the front door?
..and its the favorite synthesizer of Jean-Michel Jarre :)
and the VCS3, the Eminent 310, the Elka Synthex...

Maybe Vince just uses his fingernails rather than getting them fixed.
Cant wait to get my Behringer version in 2020
You can see all the Analogue Monologues at Vince Clarke's site: vinceclarkemusic
Sadly, not any more. This video is all I can find.

@@benjwgarner Cool. Thanks, Ben.
I wonder if Vince used this on Chorus
for sure

Which album made for this machine?
Great knowledge monsieur. I imagine he still had to multitrack to produce the final result right? He's not THAT good?
He's pretty good obviously. That's the whole way he works, sequencing & multitrack recording
I meant to say, in better quality too.
These are nowhere near the punchy bassdrum sounds of speak & spell
compression bro
