VEMIA - ARP Ultra-Odyssey, Saint Eric's max mod

via this VEMIA auction

"All the amazing work on this Odyssey was done by ARP guru, Saint Eric in Holland. Over 1000 euros spent. Front panel very nice and clean. Side cheeks have marks and scratches, back has a couple of marks. Overall I'd say it was in nice condition, but not as nice as the EMS. Heavily modified. Fully recapped. Sliders all pulled apart and relubricated. All key bushings done. Mods: Mono/ Duo 2 way switch for selecting monophonic/ duophonic modes. Extra LFO for PPC, with switch for Square or Sine waveforms. 3 way Switch for LFO for extra slow/ normal / fast speed ranges. 3 way Switch for AR envelope for extra slow/ normal / fast speed ranges. 3 way Switch for ADSR envelope for extra slow/ normal / fast speed ranges. 7 new pots in mixer section: Pot 1 ring mod... Slider 1 above pot 1 is for noise Pot 2 VCO 1 square volume to mixer... Slider 2 above pot 2 is for VCO 1 Saw Pot 3 VCO 2 square volume to mixer... Slider 3 above pot 3 is for VCO 2 Saw Pot 4 S/H mixer or Pedal to VCF.. Slider above pot 4 is for Keyboard CV Pot 5 LFO sine to VCF.. Slider above pot 5 is for S/H Pot 6 AR to VCF.. Slider above pot 6 is for ADSR Pot 7 ADSR to VCA.. Slider above pot 7 is for AR The idea is instead of the switch, you get a pot so access to all functionality at the same time.. so for example you can mix 4 waveforms at the same time, the 2 saw waves on the sliders and the 2 square waves on the pots. In addition Pots 2 and 3 have 3 way switches, so you can switch from Square / Triangle / Sine waveforms. Switch for inverted/ normal ADSR to filter. Also have midi installed on the back, Synhouse midi jack. Its on a switch so can be turned on or off (bypassed). Plus extra cv inputs on the back too: resonance cv, vcf cv, vca and another one which i can't quite remember! No slider caps, was going to get some tic tac tops from RS components, but didnt get round to it!"
