Soon I will get the courage to mod my poly.  Quick question:  What kind of soldering iron and tip is best for this work?  I've got a small radioshack iron, but I think I need a new smaller tip maybe.... I saw a good youtube vid for soldering...... I think I can do it......  :-}

So is there some reason why no one has built an arp in a rack that does just that?

Or should I rephrase the question to: how much are you all willing to pay for a 1RU MIDI arpeggiator? My guess is probably not more than 35 bucks. Which is 5 bucks less than the cost of the rack enclosure. So you go buy the ME-20A and you are 90% happy.

Now back to the HAWK. I am guessing that many of you Poly owners would like your Poly to have an arpeggiator. But just how many of you would want to pay the 100 bucks or so to HAWK your Poly to get that arp? I better there are not too many of you.

Nevertheless, I am doing the ARP and maybe I will have it ready as a christmas present. But someone better start making donations or I may just have to wait until Christmas 2015.

Let me know because it's been very, very quiet around here lately and my charitable enthusiasm is prone to fall asleep.

Mike
