Talk:ARP Instruments

I recommend the famous clients section be alphabetised and any performers without articles on them be removed (even if there is an article on a group or collective to which they belong) because they certainly don't fall under the category of "famous". 70.48.248.59 (talk) 23:06, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Famous clients list

There is lengthy list of famous clients on the page. According to WP:NLIST a source should be given to each and every one. There are several vintage electronic music websites with such lists, e.g. Vintage Synth Explorer and Alternative-Electronics (which Surv1v4l1st mentioned) but I'm not sure they satisfy WP:V. Can someone supply any information on their editorial merit? Otherwise I think sources will have to be given for every name. I think that if we don't accept any of the lists, album personnel lists might provide sources. For instance David Bowie in Low (album) used an arp and is listed as such. --Muhandes (talk) 05:21, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

I added a source for Bowie and Eno playing arp on Low (album). Do we want to add sources for artists that mention arp in their own page? I didn't add {{cn}} for them.--Muhandes (talk) 05:35, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for starting the talk page entry. I removed the two cites mentioned above. The first does appear to fail WP:V. The latter is more difficult to determine editorial oversight, but some of the material points to it lacking said.

The linear notes on albums may indeed be a good starting point as some do list an Arp. Also, interviews in Keyboard Magazine and Keyboard Player Magazine often, though not always, touch upon the topic of equipment. That may be another source to pursue. --Surv1v4l1st ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 13:36, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Not a valid source, but a list also here--Muhandes (talk) 18:45, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Won't Get Fooled Again

1970 - ARP 2500 (large and complex analog modular synthesizer, patched with a switch matrix, noted for its reliable tuning compared to competitors Moog and Buchla. Almost identical to the ARP 2002, except that the upper switch matrix had 20 buses instead of 10.); the ARP 2500 is the synthesizer heard on 'Won't Get Fooled Again' by The Who.
— ARP Instruments#Product highlights

I seem to recall a documentary saying that some type of organ was routed through the ARP 2500 and was then modulated to provide the famous pulsing soun. Anyone concur? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ijustwannabeawinner (talk • contribs) 04:42, June 20, 2018 (UTC)

Yes, it was a Lowrey Berkshire Deluxe TBO-1 Home Organ fed into an EMS VCS3. He didn't get the 2500 until after the Who's Next demos ie: after the WGFA backing track. See here. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 15:44, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
