Hi folks

I'm new to the board. Thanks for having me :) I've been collecting and restoring synths since about '90. I'm still pretty new to the theory behind electronics but I can definitely make my way around an instrument and schematics. I had a few questions about the Arp Solus and Odyssey.

Is the Solus essentially a trimmed back version of the Odyssey? I'm curious about how interchangeable some of the parts are such as the sliders. I'm looking to replace some on a Solus but it looks like the part numbers aren't the same. I don't have an Odyssey in front of me to compare.

Also - the Solus I have seems to drift out of tune when it gets really gets warm. I can tell that it needs to be calibrated but I wonder if replacing some caps would be necessary too. I'm not sure if it would affect the sound so if any of you have insight into that it would be great too.

Thanks!
