ARP Quadra distortion on strings help (ARP Omni ciruitry)

2014-09-15 by nchevatarevich@...

'm getting a distorted and out of tune sound on the same four notes in two octaves. I have no idea where to start troubleshooting, so any suggestions are helpful. It is more prominent in the 4' range, although audible in the 8' as well. There are three other notes that are distorted only in one octave and only in the 4' range, although not nearly as noticeable.

ARP Quadra poly section is based on (and the same as, afaik except for keyboard triggering) the ARP Omni. The Quadra has one more octave, altnough the schematic is the same, so I'm not clear on that. I So any tips on the Omni should apply here.


This is one of two faults I'm afraid....
