"Please excuse my Robin Williams-like hairy tree trunk arms that you have to watch performing this solo. It took many takes to get it right, and I still think it's a bit sloppy! Please Comment. To see what I really do, go to www.snapsonicsound.com."

"The ARP Pro-Soloist (1972) has a magical quality. The touch effects allow you to express yourself freely and personalize each performance. It been used by (among others): Tony Banks (from Selling England By The Pound (1973) to Seconds Out (1977)), Josef Zawinul, Billy Preston, Gary Numan (his number one album Telekon is heavily built on the Pro Soloist), Anthony Phillips (whose 1977 album The Geese And The Ghost took its name from Phillips' nicknames for two sounds produced by the Pro Soloist), John Entwistle, Tangerine Dream and Keane. It was also used by Funk keyboardist like Junie Morrison on the Ohio Players song "Funky Worm" and by Bernie Worrell on Parliament's Mothership Connection."
