ARP AVATAR GUITAR SYNTHESIZER with MIDI

via this auction
"Originally released around 1977, it has been rumoured there was only 300 ever made. It was designed to be used with the hard to find and operate hex pickup system. NOT ANY MORE WITH THIS ONE!! This specific Avatar was modified by EMI in Minneapolis with a MIDI retrofit that allows you to use and access the sounds via any MIDI device/controller. And yes, it works!

The Avatar has many of the same sounds and functions as it's legendary family member, the Odyssey. This Avatar puts those famous tones at your fingertips, for a fraction of the price."

    Only 300 made? This guy I met at a coffee shop just had one laying around in storage for 20 years.

    He was on a lot of drugs and put it in his moms garage, basement, attic or something and one day remembered he had it.

    I am trying to remember if I did the same with a MOOG.
