I did the Moog Fest last year and as part payment for the gig they give you a great deal on gear. So, I bought a couple of racks, Moogerfooger pedals, an old Taurus II which is my absolute favorite. I’ve got one of the first ARP 2600.

Concerning the new album Dame Fortune, Ramble mentions this:

"The CS-80 is on there, I love that thing, the ARP 2600 is in there, and then there are some odds and ends, but that’s kind of the meat and potatoes of it."

It's available on CD-ROM in Akai, SampleCell, and Ensoniq formats.

One of my fav tracks on NGNM. Written on an ARP 2600.

“There are very few instruments that are so inviting and it’s quite comprehensive; you can pretty much do anything you want. In fact, I did the Inspector Norse EP just through that synth. You can make simple bread and butter sounds really easily, like spaced-out BBC-style sound effects.”

The writing studio’s compactness leant itself nicely to Bayley’s process. Keeping his essentials within arm’s reach, he has guitars: Hofner 176, Fender Stratocaster, Selmer Classical, Fender Precision bass with flat-wound strings, Roland Jupiter-6, Korg MS-20, ARP 2600—which made it onto every song on the album—a vintage Neumann U 87 microphone, and a couple of API preamps. Recording happens into Pro Tools, with Ableton preferable for sequencing and programming. Keeping things simple allows Bayley to whiz around, patching in what he needs quickly.

In an interview with AMAZONA.de, Steve Porcaro discusses his use of the ARP 2600 synthesizer.

Ed and Phil in Nigel’s “The Hospital” studio in late 2006, during the recording of In Rainbows. The synths on the left are an Analogue Systems The Spawn and Analogue Systems RS-15 rack (featuring an RS-200 Sequencer System and an RS-370 with RS-375 expander), a Korg MS-10, a Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, a PPG Wave 2.2/2.3, and an E-MU Emulator II. The synth on the right is an ARP 2600, which might belong to Thom or Jonny based on other photos from the recording of In Rainbows.

When the coming out of the one-oscillator Sputink was anounced it was the first time Joe Zawinul ever heard about a synthesizer. In 1971 Roger Powell who was with ARP instruments invited him to try the new ARP 2600. In Joe's own words: "I was knocked out. Arps had patchcords, too, but with a keyboard, and with this keyboard I did some memorable recordings, like ‘Black Market.’ The Arp got some nice sounds. Some very human sounds" - The Wire, September 11, 2007 by Howard Mandel

Back in 1975 Joe explained in an interview why he preferred the 2600 monophonic synth to the Minimoog: "I like the Arp because of what I can do with it. I hear the Moog, it's immediately the Moog. With the Arp I can do things that will fool the heck out of you. I can hide between voices, I can do all kinds of things. To me it's a much more natural sound. The variety of colors is greater, too. Woodwind sounds... if you have the right hearing, you can really get it. But it takes time and work..."

During the Weather Report era he toured the world with his two 2600s which used extensively on Mysterious Traveller, Tale Spinnin', Black Market and Heavy Weather. “I have my own ‘magic book’ of sounds I’ve created on the 2600. Melody lines from 'Black Market', 'Scarlet Woman', lots of music and sound effects from other albums I’ve done. I tape some nice stuff just playing around. With the 2600, you never have to listen to the same sound twice, if you don’t want to.” - ARP's advertising literature

In this interview with Muscradar, Chicane says "In terms of synths, I naturally tend to gravitate towards software versions of classic gear like the ARP 2600, the 101 and the Prophet, because I'm used to how they work and I know what sort of sounds they're capable of."

As much as she enjoys shiny new gear, Allien would be at a loss without her vintage synths. For Thrills, she employed her trusty Roland TR-808 drum machine and SH-101 analog synth along with Clavia Nord Lead and Nord Modular synths; a Midas mixer; Apple Logic Pro; and her prized piece, the ARP 2600. “Turning wheels and pressing buttons, all [my] instruments sound deep and dark in my ears,” she says. “The ARP is perfect for that! And the ARP 2600 is the last synth I've bought — I saw it in Japan first and bought it finally on eBay. But I was looking a long time for it.”
