Arp Axxe Vintage Analog Synth MIDI Control Doepfer



Text from the video :
  • A Doepfer MCV4 is used to drive the Arp Axxe. I put a simple pattern in Digital Performer, and manipulated the controls on the Arp Axxe as the sequence played.

Text from the video :
  • This clip demonstrates the sound of the white noise generator in the Arp Axxe processed by the low pass filter.


Arp Axxe Pulse Vintage Analog Synth Sawtooth Waveforms



Text from the video :
  • The Axxe has sawtooth and pulse waveforms. This video hightlights each waveform and uses modulation source to vary the pulse waveform width.


Arp Axxe Self-Oscillation



Text from the video :
  • The filter on the Arp Axxe has the ability to self-oscillate, and act like an independent oscillator, producing a clear sine wave tone. While this is a very simple sound, it is also very appealing. I used a vintage Roland spring reverb on Arp Axxe as well.
