PURPOSE: To demonstrate operation of an analog synthesizer.

NOTICE: THIS INSTRUMENT HAS BECOME UNRELIABLE DUE TO AGE, AND IS THEREFORE STRONGLY NOT RECOMMENDED.

DESCRIPTION: The ARP 2600 was a top-quality analog synthesizer when it was manufactured in 1975; unfortunately analog synthesizers are now obsolete. However, this device can be used to create a large number of sounds and effects. An instruction manual containing patch charts for a large number of sounds is available with the instrument. This instrument is complex, and difficult to operate without patch charts or detailed knowledge of operation of such instruments.

SUGGESTIONS: PRACTICE if you intend to operate this instrument.

REFERENCES: (PIRA unknown.)

EQUIPMENT: ARP 2600 analog musical synthesizer with manual, patch charts amplifier and loudspeaker.
