Robert,

The ARP 2600 is one of those great "packages" that works very well. The
oscillators and filters are great but so is the wide variety of modules in
a flexible, pre-patched package. I know some folks who consider the 2600
their "desert island" synth. I don't know if I would go that far but it is
a very nice package. The one piece I don't care much for is the
keyboard. The ones that I have played have had very stiff and clunky
keyboards.
