Re: Arp 2600, osc-tune, jacks

2002-08-27 by djbrow54

I just rebuilt a 3604 keyboard.  It definitely sounds like a hold
problem.  Mine had a potted module from Dynamic Measurement
Corporation.  The sounds would fall back immediately on release.  I
never could find any information on the module so I replaced it with
a National LF198A S&H with a 1 uF capacitor.  It really holds the
control voltage now.  Funny thing about that Dynamic Measurement
Corporation module.  There was no gate signal going into it anywhere
so I don't know how the sample function would have ever worked.  I'm
going to try and un-pot it and trace it out someday.  If anyone has
the schematics for the 3604 keyboard I would appreciate a copy. 
Email me off list if you want the information on the circuit.  It
works great.
