I am pleased to release my cover of Jean Michel Jarre's Arpegiator. Please check it out and let me know what you think.

I started this project 25 years ago with a Casio keyboard, a PC MIDI interface, and a Turtle Beach sound card (which featured the EMU Proteus 1XR synthesizer chip set). Then my career, graduate studies, engagement & marriage, and moving house all pushed it to the back burner. The equipment eventually became obsolete and disappeared.

After retirement, I got an Arturia Mini, Arturia Analog Lab, and Cakewalk Sonar X3 to play with. I thought I had lost my Arpegiator MIDI files from 25 years before, but I found them on an old set of PC backups -- still with the original DOS filenames in all caps! So I decided to brush off the dust and complete (at least to my satisfaction) the project I started so many years before. Maybe I'll work on an improved release once I get some better VSTs, and develop some musical skills beyond that of an amateur hack.
