This is an ARP synth. Everybody and his dog had one in the late
70's. The Cure and Elton John used them alot. It has about 12
factory presets. (cello, brass, strings, horns, trumpets, viola plus
combinations). Some of the string combinations are nice, but most of
the others are crap. I would guess that most people would set it up
for high strings and never change it. I rented one in the mid 80's.
It didn't give me a hard on or any goose bumps, so I sent it back.
