In this series we will explore the Arturia
ARP 2600 V3 synthesizer.
In this video we fully explore, and explain everything we can about VCOs (
Voltage Controlled Oscillators).
The topics covered broadly include:
-
Tuning
-
Wave forms,
- FM
Control
-
Fun things to try with FM
- Pre-patched Cross-module interaction
-
