"These are neat 2 oscillator touring synths Arp made before shutting their doors. They have a hardshell case and have an architecture that suggests it was made to dial in lead and bass sounds quick. Sounds absolutely monster through an amp set up with monitors."

"When I first moved to Los Angeles I got a job working for Joe Goodman at the flagship Goodman Music store on Cahuenga Blvd. We were advised to specialize and I became the 'Wavestation' guy. I bought one myself and used it on every music project I worked on. I tried to sell a Wavestation to everyone who walked into Goodman Music. The night I brought home my Wavestation was magical. This was synthesis on a whole new level. Korg distributed VHS tapes to educate the public on the Wavestation EX and A/D units. I saved mine and decided to upload this video. I had a great time working at Goodman Music where I got a lot of opportunities to meet some great musicians. And the staff was great, I particularly liked working with Galen Walker and Michael 'Doc' Dosco who I kept in touch with for years, and manager Jim Mona."
