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.
CMS/DISCRETE
SYNTHESIZERS CURRENTLY USES 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 NOISY CONNECTION WHEN PATCHING FROM
EURO RACK EQUIPMENT TO CMS & GENUINE ARP EQUIPMENT. TO
AVOID THIS AND MAINTAIN AN OPTIMAL CONNECTION, YOU SHOULD
USE OUR SPECIAL ADAPTER CABLES.
WE ARE NOW OFFERING, FOR A LIMITED
TIME, HIGH QUALITY HAND MADE PATCH CORDS USING SWITCHCRAFT
TINI PLUGS.
TINI PLUG TO 3.5MM PLUG ADAPTER CABLES ARE
ALSO NOW AVAILABLE HERE
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.
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.
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. WE WERE PLANNING ON DISCONTINUING THIS MODULE,
HOWEVER THE CMS MODE SOUNDS SO GOOD (ACCORDING TO SOME OF OUR
CUSTOMERS AND WE AGREE) THAT WE HAVE DECIDED TO MAKE MORE.
THE CMS 1070 IS A PRECISION LOW
NOISE AUDIO MIXER. THE CMS 1000 SERIES MODULES SOUND GREAT WHEN
USING MANY VCOS MIXED TOGETHER AND DETUNED, CAUSING MULTIPLE
PHASE INTERACTIONS. 4 TO 6 T- MIXER VCOS REALLY SOUND INTERESTING
GOING THROUGH THE 1047 AND THE 1006/1066 IN SERIES.
