ARP Avatar I bought new in `77 and used for about 6 months.Originally designed for guitar but when midi is added can be used with midi capable keyboards. Same sound engine as Arp Odyssey. A great addition to your rig for those retro sounds. Also includes guitar pickup assembly. Missing some slider tips which were cheap and easily broken in two from normal use.
I used and had fun with it around the house and some studio work, but when I used it on a couple of gigs I found it impractical because of time consuming chore of changing sounds. It`s not like modern synths "push one button" for a new patch. Therefore it went in the closet and I removed PU from my guitar and it`s been there since.
When I decided to sell it I realized I had no way to test it personally without paying a tech, which I didn`t want the expense, or reinstalling the PU, which I also didn`t want to do.It worked fine the last time I used it and other than the missing slider tips I noticed the sliders were not smooth. I`ve seen a wide variety of prices online and it`s original cost was rather high. I wished I had waited for Roland to come through with my present guitar synth rig. I`m selling as-is and can`t give any further info that I know of about it.
