6 spaces high, yes! 10.5
inches.
Heavy duty .100 thick, precision
machined front panel.
Sturdy, custom designed rear
enclosure.
Octave switches.
Sync switch that syncs VCO-1
to VCO-3.
VCO3 has all 4 waveforms!
Uses the discrete wave-shapers
from the 2500 - they sound much better and produce better
shaped waveforms.
Both VCO-2 and VCO-3 actually
produce a sine wave, not a rounded triangle like on the
ARP 2600.
PWM on all 3 VCOs.
The famous CMS 4012 CX filter
comes standard issue. Better sounding but true to the
original design of the early 2600 filter.
The filter has 2 modes: CMS
and ARP. The ARP mode maintains the original factory 4012
circuit. The CMS mode features the CMS 9004 dual mode
filter.
The VCF has an additional
High pass / Pseudo-notch out depending on the mode switch
setting.
Improved AR generator circuit.
3 position time range selectors
on both envelope generators.
CMS 4019CX high slew rate
VCA is standard equipment.
Voltage processor 2 becomes
the Post Filter Distortion circuit from the ARP Centaur
when the PFD switch is engaged.
Schmitt trigger or trigger
detector for externally triggering Envelopes, SH, Etc.
Doubles as a distortion device.
Separate Ring Modulator AC
/ DC switches facilitate a 2nd VCA.
A dedicated LFO.
S/H clock has sine out for
additional LFO modulation.
Tripped out Electronic Switch
has way too many uses to list here.
17 inch, 3 spring, reverb
tank w overdrive circuit - now internally mounted.
2 pedal circuits with front
panel output jacks.
Rear CV buss and Gate buss
inputs.
Convenient front panel CV
and Gate output jacks.
Rear mounted "slider
LED disable" switch - disables the slider LEDs only.
2 1/4 inch line level outputs
for stereo effects.
High quality Alps controls.
American made enclosure and
printed circuit boards.
Blue LED sliders are now
standard equipment.
2500 style knobs are now
standard equipment.
Front panel image is impregnated
into the metal - it will never wear off.
Front panel surface texture
now exactly matches our 2500 Euro modules.
Notable similarities:
High quality Switchcraft
.141 Tini jax compatible with all ARP, CMS, and Buchla
products.
All critical audio processing
is performed by discrete, hand selected, low noise, matched
transistors.
Reliable and servicable thru-hole
construction on all printed circuit boards.
Uses 4000 series sub-module
design - exactly like the original ARP 2600.
