Arp 2600 Vintage Analog Synthesizer

via this auction

"Arp 2600 model 2601
Serial number 0398

This is an earlier model 2601 and DOES have the "coveted" 4012 "Moog" style filter...
This synth also has the upgraded 3620 keyboard which added some much needed features to the Arp. First, it added an "upper voice" feature, which gives this synth a duo-phonic capability, as you can hook this second voice up to one of the oscillators and play intervals. Second, it has a built-in LFO with delay capability. A limitation of the Arp was that you had to sacrifice one of your oscillators if you wanted to use a sin-wave modulation source. No more! I don't recall if the old keyboard had portamento, but the new one definitely does."
