ARP Quartet

The ARP Quartet is a string synthesizer produced by ARP Instruments in the mid-1970s. It was designed to emulate the sound of string ensembles, offering a polyphonic and expressive alternative to traditional analog synthesizers. The Quartet was notable for its simplicity and ease of use, making it accessible to musicians seeking lush, orchestral string textures. While not as versatile as some other synthesizers of its time, it became a popular choice for adding rich, layered string sounds to recordings and live performances.
