In great working order, this has new keys (reverse colour) and replaced sliders. $12,999! Please note that this is available by appointment.\r\n\r\nThe ARP 2601, often referred to as the ARP 2600, is a semi-modular analog synthesizer that has become a legendary instrument in the world of electronic music. The \"Black and Orange\" face version is one of the most iconic models, known for its distinctive appearance and rich, versatile sound. Produced in the late 1970s by ARP Instruments, the 2600 is renowned for its robust build, powerful oscillators, and extensive modulation capabilities.\r\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003eSemi-Modular Design:\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatchable Architecture:\u003c\/strong\u003e The ARP 2601 features a semi-modular design, allowing users to connect various sections of the synthesizer using patch cables.
