FREDERIC BRUN: Hello everyone. My name is Frederic Brun. I'm from Arturia. We're here at the AES in San Francisco, and I can show you a little bit of the Origin. We're shipping Origin today. That's a big date for us. So, if you have two minutes, you may look at this machine.

This is a modular synthesizer. You build your synthesis system by using different modules taken from the synths we have recreated, so you can have an oscillator from the Jupiter 8 or from the Minimoog, and you can add a filter from the CS-80, for example, and very quickly create your own patch. What you can do is really quickly play the sounds, so for example here we have a bass sound from this very simple patch, the TB-303, and I'm going to open a different sound which is by, for example, a drum sound. So, let's go back and take an acoustic drum for example.

So I have the two sounds occurring at the same time, so let me play that, put a hold on the sequencer, play the other one, hold on this module and I can start jamming around.

Let's take another sound again. I'll take for example a guitar.

[FREDERIC JAMS ALONG WITH A SEQUENCE]

Alright. Maybe we could find a better player. Alright, so basically the idea is really to quickly build your sound, play several sounds at a time, jam around. So, for people on stage, that's very easy to use for people playing the keyboard. There are 1000 program presets and 100 multi-presets which are basically those sounds you hear made of four different sounds.

Thank you very much, and hopefully you're going to enjoy the origin.
