Synth Pod E (String Synths and ARP)

Featuring 6 classic string synths, ARP classics and a few surprises

If you want to create that lush string synth sound from the 1970s, overlaid with that classic ARP 2600 mono sound, this pod is for you. And we have an extremely rare Rhodes Chroma+Expander+Enabler combination with some special surprises: the unusual Hartmann Neuron and amazing Alesis Andromeda and lots more.

How does a Synth Pod work?

Rhodes Chroma (CC+) + Expander + Enabler

1982. 16-32 voice poly. Very rare and fantastic-sounding combo. Extremely deep programmability made easy thanks to the Redshift Enabler from the late 200s.

Alesis Andromeda A6

2000. Sixteen voice true analog poly. This synth can do it all but is a dream to program with 72 knobs and 144 buttons. Onboard arpeggiator, sequencer, effects and ribbon controller. One of our favourites.

ARP Solina String Synthesizer

1975. Rare string synth combined with a mono synth. Effectively an ARP String Ensemble and Explorer 1. String sounds are gorgeous with chorus engaged.

ARP Quadra

1978. Unusual four section synth with Bass, Strings, Polysynth and Lead. Onboard phase shifter creates epic string sounds. A joy to play.

ARP 2600

1974. Semi-modular with duopohnic keyboard and aftertouch.P robably the greatest portable modular synth ever made. Wonderful to program and extremely versatile.

ARP Odyssey Mk III

1978. Great-sounding duophonic synth from the 1970s. Not as fat as the Minimoog, but more versatile.

ARP 1621 Sequencer

1978. 16 step sequencer. Versatile and easy to program. Pairs perfectly with the Odyssey and 2600.

Crumar Orchestrator

1977. Another fabulous-sounding string synth from the late 1970s, which adds bass, piano and clavichord. No onboard emsemble. Sounds best through our outboard.

Hartmann Neuron

2002. Eight+ voice poly. Quirky and unique synth which utilizes “neural networks” to analyze and resynthesize samples. Creates lush and vivid pads and textures.

Logan String Melody II

1977. One of the best-sounding string synths from the Disco era. Limited programmability but four onboard ensemble effects.

Oberheim DX Drum Machine

1982. 6 voice drum machine with 18 sampled sounds and onboard sequencer. Little version of the DMX. Very tweakable and sounds so 1980s.

Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus

1979. Roland’s most influential vocoder, alongside a rich human voice synth and lush string synth. With ensemble and external input, the combo is inspiring and sounds awesome.
