Vintage ARP Pro Soloist Model 2701,early 1970's
To be refurbished
all keys work but there are some issues, some presets do not make sound, it may be a contact problem. some knobs were lost and replaced, and the sliders caps were lost. screen printing is almost erased. The after touch still works but does not expect great effect. after touch & key pitch bend are awesome!
it may require more cleaning and a good service, otherwise is a beautiful piece of the synthesizer vintage era,
this is being sold as is, due to its age..
Located in my studio in Spain, i will ship anywhere in EU
The Pro-Soloist is a thirty preset monophonic analog synth from the early 1970's, originally designed to sit on-top of, and accompany a large Organ. It had 30 preset sounds to choose from, including Flute, Bassoon, Brass, Fuzz Guitar etc. Other features included pitch, portamento, vibrato, growl and wow effects. The keyboard has 37 keys with aftertouch sensitivity for volume, brilliance, vibrato, wow, and even bend effects. A few basic filter (brilliance), envelope and LFO controls allow some tweaking of the preset sounds, however there is no memory to store your settings.
The Pro-Soloist is a compact and basic monosynth best suited to leads. Because of its aftertouch feature, it's simply one of the most playable and expressive solo instruments Arp ever made. It was later followed up by the in 1977. The Pro-Soloist has been used by Tangerine Dream, Tony Banks (Genesis), Coldcut, Gary Numan, Herbie Hancock, Patrick Moraz, Billy Preston, John Entwistle, Billy Preston, and Vangelis.
