AMSynths shared this in-depth overview of the AM1035 Triple Modulator, one of their line of ten new modules that are based on ‘lost’ ARP 2500 modules.

The modules are designed to complement Behringer’s line of ARP 2500 Euro format copies, and are largely inspired by ARP 2500 designs from 1970 that never made it into mass production.

Here’s what they have to say about the new module:

“54 years after ARP made a prototype module with three analog multipliers, AMSynths have launched the production version in Eurorack.]

Each multiplier can be a ring modulator, a VCA or a mixer. Create ambient and experimental soundscapes with this powerful module.”

The module is a replica of the 1035 Triple Modulator module from the ARP 2500 synthesizer. The module was in the original ARP Tonus announcement of 1970 and it can be seen in the first sample system, and in the first ARP 2500 catalog (at $820, one of the most expensive modules). However it was never put into full production and the rack space was typically used by an extra dual envelope generator.

Each circuit features three modes;

• In modulation mode (MOD) it can be used to produce complex ring modulator sounds when all signals are audio/AC.
• In modulation mode (MOD) it will act as a VCA when the X input is an audio signal and the Y input is a control voltage
• In mixer mode (MIX) it mixes the two signals together with no modulation.
