Hi folks,
Can anyone work out which two keyboards Joe Zawinul is using here in this You Tube video please ?? Its the two synths sitting on top of his Rhodes Piano.
The middle one is definately connected to a Modular Rack on his left hand side. But i have no idea what make/model the keyboard is (or the one at the top) ?? They may well both be connected to the Modular Rack and have no internal sounds on, but i am not sure.
Cheers,
Paul

Re: Zawinul (Keyboards ?)
Both keyboards are the kbd section of the ARP 2600 synth. He is known to have used two 2600s. I guess the main unit of the second one isn't visible. You are right that they're basically controllers and have no internal sound capabilities.

Re: Zawinul (Keyboards ?)
Oh thats great. i had no idea what one looked like. Herbie Hancock also used one regularly.
So the module section detaches from the keyboard (as Zawinul has it to his left side). He has TWO keyboards, so is it possible to connect both of these to control the ARP 2600 ?? And also have a different patch assigned to each keyboard controller ??
How the hell anyone would carry this around is beyond me !!

Re: Zawinul (Keyboards ?)
Like the Nords, they had various revisions and changes of panel colour. Same with the Odyssey.

Re: Zawinul (Keyboards ?)
Yes, it's also an ARP 2600. They went through a number of design and cosmetic revisions during their lifetime.
Here's an article about them:
http://www.vintagesynth.com/arp/arp.php
As far as I know, Zawinul didn't connect two kbds to one 2600, he actually had two entire 2600s.
And if you think the 2600 is scary, wait till you see the ARP 2500. (The ARP 2500 was famously used in "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" as the musical instrument used to communicate with the alien mothership near the end of the film).
