Stevie Wonder plays the ARP 2600

[@makers1958]

I remember seeing this bit, first run, on a black and white TV, on Flip Wilson’s Thursday night variety/comedy show. Good Lord, I’m old!

This video is synth geek gold! Used to watch the Flip Wilson show, and I don’t remember seeing this😅 Loving my Behringer 2600❤

√ I've been recently shopping for a Behringer 2600 (modeled after the synth in this video) √ I'm a huge Stevie Wonder fan √ I watched a video of Red Foxx last night on the Flip Wilson Show This video checks so many boxes I wonder if it's A.I. generated. LOL

I have one. It’s great, you will love it 😊

Back then ARP Instruments would give you an Odyssey or deeply discount an ARP 2600 if you had a record contract. A good way to play a bit of catch-up on the market leading MiniMoog. Stevie was a special case and got whatever he wanted on ARP's dime. In the end Yamaha won the race.

I dunno I think over time ARP has proven to be pretty much the be-all end all synth

[@barnabascee1889]

I'm not sure what race you're referring to, but there's literally hundreds of synth companies today. I used to collect vintage synths until just a few years ago. But we're living in the synth golden age right now! Even for analog! But maybe you're thinking about the size of the companies. Yamaha might still be the biggest company in yearly revenue.

@@barnabascee1889 Yamaha sold over 200,000 units of the DX-7 and killed off a lot of other giants like Moog, Oberheim, and Sequential and (not ARP though, they were already dead), they certainly won the race at the time but the victory was temporary.
