#2Huge synth head here. He will be missed. The Korg remakes of the Odyssey are great machines for those not wanting (or having the money) to dive into vintage madness. Now Korg should reissue the 2600 in his memory. For under $1500..

#3Christmas 1976 my parents gave me an Arp Axxe, which was a simpler, less-expensive version of the much more famous Odyssey [1]. It was great for a kid to learn about electronic music because the controls were laid out to where you could visualize the signal flow. It also came with a great textbook. I learned a lot about sound and analog signal processing as well as had a lot of fun. May Mr. Pearlman rest in peace.

#4Did he sneaked his initials into protocol name? Or was it just a coincidence?

Former 2600 owner, and aspiring current owner (although Arturia is keeping the itch scratched for now), I think this would be viable for Korg. TTSH kits were around for a while. You could get one built for 3500, 1000 for parts. Korg purchasing could probably do way better.

It's not the protocol. It's the ARP synthesizer.

It's not that kind of ARP, it's a synth. The article tells all.

Pretty sure Behringer are either already on it, or thinking seriously about it.

The Axxe was almost my first synth. When I first got into synths in the mid 90's, I was looking for a starter synth. The music store had an Axxe for $150 and a Korg Poly 800 for $80. I ultimately went with the Poly 800, but looking back it would have been pretty cool to have the Axxe!

#10Sad day.
Time to start working on restoring my 2600, which I've owned aincw 1979. Many shorted tantalum caps. I miss it!
