What Is an ARP 2600?
Portable Modular Synthesizer
Its design combined modularity (for studio flexibility, and for instructional use) and integration (for real-time performance). Functionally, the ARP
2600 was completely modular: any signal output could be routed to any signal input with a patch cord. Operationally, the ARP 2600 was
integrated, using internally-wired default signal paths that made it possible to create a wide range of keyboard patches by simply opening up
slide attenuators, as though sitting in front of a mixing console.
