ARP 2500 Modules/proposals

[apollo nove]

Hi everybody!

I've just got an Arp 2500 in São Paulo,Brazil,where I'm from. It's in great condition,but it has only 7 modules,so there's space for much more. 1st of all I'm looking

for more original oscillator modules , does anybody knows where can I find some? I know they're rare...! Also,I want one of those original multimode filter modules..

Then,another idea would be to get some custom made modules that could work inside this machine. Any suggestions/names?

Best,

Apollo Nove

!Olá!
You're looking for a hen's tooth. I think you should prepare yourself for some DIY or at least for paying someone for some soldering work for you.

A good starting point for Arp 2500 circuits is Analogue Metropolis a.k.a. The Emulator Archive:

I never dealt with them but they are around for some time and I never heard any complaints on them them.

Hope that helps.

Hey,

Thank you, Ilanode !

I'm aware of them,and might do some modules there,but I guess they won't do the osc modules...let me check!

Thank you!

OBRIGADO!!

De nada. If DIY does not scare you off check

There have been several threads regarding ARP DIY circuits in the past. For example the 2500 based DIY project.

However, IIRC you would have to etch your own PCBs for any of these projects.

Hey there,

just know that the C.M.S Company (www.discretesynthesizers.com) repairs and upgrades vintage synthesizers also the ARP 25000, maybe you find help there, they also built very unique but also expensive modules. hope could help a little.

cheers from austria
