ARP ODYSSEY UPGRADES & RESTORATION

 
         
 
     
 
 
 
The ARP Odyssey Lumina by CMS
   
     
 

 

This is a restored ARP 2800 with our new "Illuminated Slider Retrofit" dubbed the Lumina.

It will be available in June 2009 as a kit for 379.00 USD. The wall wart power supply for the illumination is not included in the kit and is available at any local Radio Shack. Removing the original sliders without damaging the printed circuit boards requires a competent tech.

It wil also be available installed for 899.00. The installed price does not include any other servicing your Odyssey may need. We will soon start taking orders on the kits so please check back.

Odyssey and Avatar service is scheduled to resume in the summer of 2009. Thanks to all for waiting.

 
   
         
   
     
     
   
     
 
       
 
     
 

STANDARD ARP ODYSSEY UPGRADES AND RESTORATION

 

FILTER UPGRADE - (4075) - FOR MODELS 2811 thru 2823 - 79.00

All Odyssey II and Avatar filters have a upper frequency limit of 11khz! This frequency response upgrade is similar to the 2600 filter upgrade extending the cutoff frequency range from 11khz to 28khz. Also replaces some critical components in the signal path. Your filter sub module is removed, tested, upgraded, re-tested and re-installed into main board "C".

 

AUDIO PATH UPGRADE - ALL MODELS - 69.00

This mod replaces critical signal path components with audiophile grade components. Low end response is improved resulting in a more accurate wave shape. This mod used to be called the "Low end wave correction mod" in the early days of CMS. High end response is also Improved.

 

POWER SUPPLY REBUILD - ALL MODELS - 59.00

Certain critical components in your power supply have a shelf / working life of 20 years maximum. It's probably time your power supply was rebuilt. These units are getting very old, so if you are serious about your ARP, you should get the Power Supply Rebuild.

 

NEW SLIDER CAP SET - ALL MODELS - 27.00

A full set of brand new slider caps for your Odyssey. These are the small colored slider caps used on the Odyssey 1. Pink is no longer available and has been replaced by orange. 34 caps total. The layout is here. These sets are now in stock! Just send a Paypal payment of $27.00 (US) or $29.00 (outside the US) to filter@discretesynthesizers.com Please include your shipping address with payment.

 

MAJOR UPGRADES FOR THE ARP ODYSSEY:

 

LFO FREE RUN SWITCH - 2800 thru 2813 - 65.00 all others 55.00

It's impossible to get a slow moving sweep on the LFO while playing the Odysseys keyboard. When this switch is in the free run position, the keyboard will not restart the LFO as with stock units. Contrary to misinformation on the web, CMS is the originator of this mod.

 

ADSR TURBO SWITCH - ALL MODELS - 2800 thru 2813 - 69.00, all others - 59.00

This mod installs a switch in your Odysseys ADSR section that engages the turbo mode speeding up the time constant on the ADSR to attain 2600 type percussive envelopes.

 

REAR PANEL INTERFACE JACKS - FOR THE 2800 ONLY - 150.00

Adds a CV, gate and trigger input to the 2800 Odyssey using 1/8th inch Switchcraft jacks. The interface is functional with only CV and gate if desired.
