The 2500 was ARP’s first modular flagship and consisted of the 2003 synthesizer and 3003 keyboard controller. As mentioned in last week’s post, the ARP 2500 was also the synth played by ARP engineer Philip Dodds in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. You can actually see him play it in the film. You can find a demo of the 2500 in last week’s post as well. Some details from the auction: “This is a very rare and early version of the ARP 2500 Modular Synthesizer. It has a larger cabinet with 3 x 5 Modules (instead of 2 x 6 Modules on standard ARP 2500s) and the switch matrix in the top section has 10 positions (instead of the 20 positions on later ARP 2500s).

And would likely never sell it, so don't email me to ask. Add that to the total.. And why not ask Don himself?

Thanks! When I hear these modular synths I swear I feel like I'm transported back to my childhood and far into the future all at the same time. All those beautiful sounds from 70's sci fi shows buried deep in my memories. Thanks for the MP3 post, too! :) Another great post, Matrix. Thanks!
