The 1970s were a time when synthesizers really took on their full meaning as more and more musicians embraced the instrument and made music that no one had heard before. Earlier synthesizers were massive, sophisticated devices that cost thousands of dollars, but in 1971 Alan R. Pearlman and Dennis Colin sought to create a more portable version of their massive ARP 2500 modular synth that they could market more to consumers. musicians. From this concept was born the semi-modular ARP 2600 synthesizer which became an instant hit and was quickly adopted by many renowned musicians including Edgar Winter, Pete Townshend, Herbie Hancock and Jean-Michel Jarre, to name a few. only a few. Shortly after the first models were released, ARP made a bright blue version of the Model 2600 called "Blue Marvin," named after ARP CFO Marvin Cohen. Then, in mid-1971, the blue faceplate was replaced with a gray faceplate, and this new unit was dubbed the "Gray Meanie".
