via this auction"This ARP Pro-DGX Mk I model 2720 (1977) was owned and used by The Beach Boys from 1977 to 1981. It was painted white to match the rest of their gear onstage. Possibly the very instrument heard on the song "I'll Bet He's Nice" and may be buried on other tracks on Love You (1977), M.I.U. Album (1978), L.A. (Light Album) (1979) and Keepin' The Summer Alive (1980) albums.
Even though ARP called this a "digital" synthesizer, it's signal path is completely analog. The Pro-DGX has 2-position voice selection switches with a light above or below them so, you always know which sound is selected.
Here's a video of the actual item being used on stage on the 4th of July 1980 in Washington, DC (skip to 1:13 to see a good shot of it)" Above.
