arp quartet - no sound
2003-01-04 by ehallborg <ehallborg@yahoo.com>
Hello sythesists:: I'm wondering if anyone has ever worked on an arp quartet, I just got one which is producing no sound at all. The only thing I can hear is the electrical contact in the buttons/ sliders sometimes, so I know something is coming out of the synth. I read that some of the capacitors and chips need to be replaced on the arps. Any other ideas besides this? Any good site links to show where/what I'm supposed to replace? Please no big words, I'm just starting to learn electronics and was hoping this might be a decent project to get my feet wet! This quartet also has a strange mod on it, looks like a centronics type scsi port (or similar) coming out of the back where someone apparently connected to another system. The wires inside the Quartet go to each key - I'm assuming to send out triggers. It's a very professional looking mod, so I can only assume the owner had taken care of it and knew what they were doing. It also looks like it was done quite a while ago. I only hope that if he disconnected/removed something to use this as a controller, that I can find it again Thanks, Ed
