SWITCHCRAFT
TINI PLUGS AND TINI JACKS WERE EXTENSIVELY USED IN ALL ARP
PRODUCTS MADE DURING THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE COMPANY INCLUDING
THE 2500, 2600 AND 1601 SEQUENCER. BUCHLA MODULES ALSO USE
THESE JACKS.
CMS/DISCRETE
SYNTHESIZERS CURRENTLY USE SWITCHCRAFT TINI JACKS IN ALL OF
OUR PRODUCTS INCLUDING OUR 1000 SERIES MODULES AND THE CMS
2607. WE HAD TO MAKE A CHOICE BETWEEN THE CHEAPLY MADE STANDARD
EURO JACK AND THE MUCH MORE ROBUST SWITCHCRAFT TINI JACK.
BEING THE CURRENT MAIN SERVICE CENTER FOR ARP EQUIPMENT MADE
THE CHOICE AN OBVIOUS ONE.
ALTHOUGH THE
PLUGS LOOK SIMILAR, SMALL DIFFERENCES IN DIAMETER AND LENGTH
OF SHAFT MAY PRODUCE A UNRELIABLE CONNECTION WHEN PATCHING
FROM CHEAP EURO RACK EQUIPMENT TO CMS, BUCHLA & GENUINE
ARP EQUIPMENT. YOU MAY ALSO WANT TO MAKE SOME CUSTOM CABLES
YOURSELF OR GET SOMEONE TO MAKE THEM FOR YOU.
THE 1004T PEARLMAN OSCILLATOR
IS AN EXACT REPRODUCTION OF THE UNIQUE AND REVOLUTIONARY TEMPERATURE
COMPENSATED VCO CIRCUIT COMBINED WITH ANOTHER CIRCUIT UNIQUE
TO THE 2500 - THE "T" WAVEFORM MIXER - BOTH DESIGNED
BY ALAN R. PEARLMAN. OPTIONAL LFO MODE SWITCH IS NOW AVAILABLE.
THE 1004OP OSCILLATOR
OUTPUT EXPANDER KIT PROVIDES 5 SIMULTANEOUS VCO OUTPUTS AS WELL
AS AN ADDITIONAL T MIXER OUTPUT. IT COMES WITH A DETACHABLE
WIRING HARNESS. CURRENT ISSUE 1004 MODULES NOW FEATURE A NEW
REAR CONNECTOR - NO SOLDERING.
THE 1006 PEARLMAN FILT-AMP
IS THE CORE OF THE 2500 SYSTEM. IT IS A TRIPLE MODULE: A HIGH
QUALITY 4 INPUT AUDIO MIXER. A GREAT SOUNDING 4 POLE DISCRETE
TRANSISTOR LADDER FILTER. THE CLASSIC ARP CURRENT MIRROR VCA.
THE 1016 DUAL NOISE AND RANDOM
VOLTAGE GENERATOR MODULE PRODUCES HIGH QUALITY, TRUE RANDOM
NOISE SIGNALS AS WELL AS THE DISTINCTIVE SLOW RANDOM SIGNALS.
THESE ARE VERY USEFUL AS MODULATION SOURCES.
THE CMS 1033 USES SPECIAL
HIGH GAIN TRANSISTORS TO ATTAIN SOME VERY FAST RESPONSE TIMES.
LIKE ALL OF OUR MODULES, THE CMS 1033 USES THE EXACT DISCRETE
CIRCUITRY THAT THE ORIGINAL 1033 USED, MADE TO CMS'S ULTRA HIGH
STANDARDS.
THE 1036 IS A DUAL
MODULE THAT UTILIZES 6 SEPARATE CIRCUITS IN A COMPACT AND FUNCTIONAL
FORMAT. THERE ARE: 2 INDEPENDENT VOLTAGE CONTROLLED LOW FRQUENCY
PULSE OSCILLATORS WITH EXTERNAL CONTROL. TWO HIGH PRECISION
SAMPLE AND HOLD CIRCUITS AND TWO INDEPENDENT WHITE NOISE GENERATORS.
THE CMS 1047 IS A CLONE OF THE
FAMOUS ARP 1047 MULTIMODE FILTER AND IS A KEY INGREDIENT IN
OBTAINING THE ARP 2500 SOUND. THE CMS 1047 IS NOW AVAILABLE
FOR PURCHASE. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION.
THE CMS 1050 MODULE
IS A FAITHFUL REPRODUCTION OF THE FAMOUS ARP 1050 MIX-SEQUENCER.
BOTH MODULES UTILIZE THE EXACT DISCRETE AUDIO SWITCHING CIRCUITRY
THAT THE ORIGINAL ARP 1050 USED. DC VOLTAGE IS NORMALIZED TO
ALL INPUTS FOR STANDARD VOLTAGE SEQUENCING.
THE CMS 1051 EXPANDS THE 1050 MIX
SEQUENCER TO THE FULL 8 CHANNELS. THIS MODULE CAN ALSO FUNCTION
INDEPEDENTLY AS A HIGH QUALITY 4 CHANNEL MIXER. THIS MODULE
IS DESIGNED FOR LARGER SYSTEMS. 3 AUX BINARY GATE OUTS ARE PROVIDED
FOR RHYTHMIC TRIGGERING.
THE CMS 1055 IS
AN UPDATED AND MUCH MORE USEFUL VERSION OF THE ARP 1005 MODULE.
IT USES THE EXACT CIRCUITRY THAT THE ARP 1005 USES WITH BASICALLY
A REVERSED SIGNAL PATH ORDER, PLUS AN ADDITIONAL VCA FOR PANNING
AND VOLTAGE CONTROLLED MIXING EFFECTS, JUST TO NAME A FEW.
THE CMS 1066 IS AN
IMPROVED VERSION OF THE FILTER SECTION FROM THE ARP 1006 FILT-AMP
MODULE. IT IS ARP's VERSION OF THE TRANSISTOR LADDER. IT DIFFERS
IN SOUND FROM THE 2600 FILTER BECAUSE IT USES A PURELY BIPOLAR
SIGNAL PATH.
THE CMS 1067 IS A UNIVERSAL
MODULE. IT IS A FAITHFUL REPRODUCTION OF THE 2500 VCA CIRCUIT
USED IN THE ARP 1006 AND 1005 MODULES. IT IS ALSO AN IMPROVED
VERSION OF THE VCA USED IN THE ARP 2600.
THE CMS 1070 IS A PRECISION
LOW NOISE AUDIO MIXER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO MIX MULTIPLE
OSCILLATORS OR ANY OTHER AUDIO SOURCES TOGETHER FOR FURTHER
PROCESSING THROUGH FILTERS, RING MODULATORS AND VCAs.
