Excerpt: The ARP 2500, built from 1970 through the mid-70's, was ARP's first big synthesizer. A monophonic analog modular synthesizer equipped with a set of sliding matrix switches above each module that were the primary method of interconnecting modules. There were also rows of 1/8" miniphone jacks at the end of each row of matrix switches, to interconnect rows of switches. The main 2500 cabinet could hold 12 modules, and the optional wing cabinets could hold 6.Although the 2500 proved to be a reliable and user-friendly machine, it was not commercially successful, selling approximately 100 units. A collection of the 2500s most popular modules was packaged into a single, non-modular unit as the ARP 2600, leaving out the matrix switching and more esoteric modules. The 2500s most notable usage was when it was employed in the motion picture Close Encounters of the Third Kind to communicate with aliens. The ARP technician sent to install the unit, Phil Dodds, was cast as the musician. The unit featured in the film consisted of a fully loaded main unit, two fully loaded wing cabinets and dual keyboards in a custom case. Famous users It has been used by artists such as Meat Beat Manifesto, The Who, David Bowie, Skinny Puppy, Jean Michel Jarre, Jimmy Page and Vince Clarke. In the classical world, electronic composer Elaine Radigue has worked almost exclusively with the 2500.The ARP 2500 was also extensively used by British producer David Hentschel on recordings such as "Funeral For A Friend" from Elton John's 1973 album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road".
