ARP Omni: Switches wanted

2008-05-12 by Malte Rogacki

The Omni is coming along very nicely so far. I found a blown transistor in
the sustain circuit that prevented very short sustain times. Works now.
It looks like another 4000 series chip is blown in the phasing circuit;
I'll probably get to this tomorrow. Apart from that nearly everything works
as I think it should.

However: I'm looking for two voice selection switches (or better make that
three). This is the Omni-1, not the Omni-2; so those switches need to be
"real" switches, not momentary switches. I can't find anything that will
even remotely fit there (of course I could always rig something with
completely different switches; however I would like it to look "nice".)

So if there's a source for this stuff I'd be interested to hear about it.


Thanks in advance,
