ARP Odyssey whiteface with CV/GATE/Filter Input mods

via this auction
"Features: When I bought this synth it had CV/GATE/TRIG input/output jacks previously installed by a company called MRE. (Not sure who this company is or was but what I do know is this is one of the few CV/GATE kits that allows the Odyssey to be triggered from a Roland MC-4 or other CV/GATE synth without hooking up a separate trigger cable. (Other CV/GATE kits required the trigger to be connected for some reason.) I wanted even more functionality, so a couple of years ago I shipped it to CMS (Cirrocco Modular Systems) and he performed the following service/mods: 1) cleaned all sliders and inside of synth 2) added a switch for the LFO to allow for free-running or trigger via keypress or trigger input (an absolutely essential mod) 3) switched low output/high output jacks so high output uses 1/4" jack and not the RCA jack 4) Added a 1/4" VCF input jack (I believe he also added an audio input through the VCF but I can't recall as I didn't have it labeled). 5) Upgraded and replaced all caps in the power supply. 6) Repaired a faulty voice 7) Tuned up the synth. I recently took it to my tech because the keyboard was only triggering properly from CV/GATE and was only playing one note up and down the keyboard if played manually. He had it fully tuned and replaced a diode in the keyboard circuit which fixed the keyboard issue. The keyboard is now scaling perfectly and the second voice scales properly too."

Sold For: US $1,850.00
