Servicing an Arp Odyssey

2005-11-07 by Steve Alcorn

After working with an Arp 2600 in high school during the early 70's
and then building my own version using a PAiA 2700, I'd taken a long
break from analog synths. But recently I found an Arp Odyssey in good
condition on ebay.

Upon arrival it was apparent that, while well-cared for, this Odyssey
could use a good cleaning, and the noise generator was broken. I also
wnated to improve the cutoff frequency of the 4075 filter.

I've set up a web page to document the process with some nice, clear
photos, and to provide some useful references:
