"This wonderful unit has serial number 0001. It’s in full working order and near mint condition. Some minor cosmetic flaws are visible. A photo copy of both Owner’s and Service manual will be included with the sequencer. A classic sequencer of the 70's. You create your sequences with the 16 sliders. Adjust the sliders to change pitch while each slider represents a sixteenth note. It uses Control Voltage (CV) and Gate protocols to play your sequences on a connected analog synthesizer. The ARP Sequencer works perfectly with the ARP 2500, 2600, Odyssey, Avatar and other ARP synthesizers as well as Roland, Oberheim and Sequential Circuits. To interface the Sequencer with other types of CV/Gate capable synths like fx the Mini Moog or the Korg MS 20 would require a CV converter box. The ARP sequencer is fun and easy to learn. Use it to create continuous arpeggios or simple sequences of patterns for your vintage analog gear. Tweak it in real-time as you create or perform, it's very hands-on. Product description from the manual: The ARP Sequencer, model 1612, is a 16 step sequential voltage generator. A voltage slider is provided for each of the 16 steps to adjust the voltage output from 0 to +10 volts. The sequencer may be used in a “8 x 2” mode so that outputs 1 through 8 (Bank A) and 9 through 16 (Bank B) sequence in parallel. The outputs of banks A and B are prewired to a voltage quantizer which effectively “rounds off” the sequencer’s voltage to the nearest whole twelwth of a volt. This allows for precise tuning. A low frequency voltage controlled oscillator governs the stepping speed of the sequencer and can be started, stopped, gated, or speeded up either manually or externally. Serious bidders and Paypal only. WILL SHIP WORLD WIDE, but buyer will pay for shipping. Item location is in Drammen, Norway - Europe."

This is not the first ARP sequencer ever made. It is the first in the export series. See the badge that says 200-250VAC.
ReplyDeleteThe first version had modell number 1611.
My ARP Odyssey has serial number 0001, but, it is version 2822. I.e the mk-3 version, export version.
1611 not first either? I have a service manual for an ARP 1601.
ReplyDelete001 isn't a serial number.
ReplyDeleteIt's just the number of the batch.
And with a Korg MS you don't need a converter. Just some good ears and using the unquantized outputs :)
Whenther or not it is erial number 0001, I am sure this guy will get a nice price for it since collectors just love stuff with serial number 1.
