Introducing Arp

Founded by Alan R. Pearlman as one of the first synth manufacurers (1969-1981), ARP competed directly with Moog. ARP synthesizers were known for their better oscillator stability. While their first synth was the modular 2500, their most popular synth was the 2600 (semi-modular). The Avatar (guitar synth resembling an Odyssey) contributed to their demise, but their last synth became the Rhodes Chroma, once CBS Musical Instruments bought them (CBS also owned Fender and Rhodes).
