Restored ARP Quadra by New England Analog


Published on Jul 26, 2013 New England Analog LLC·25 videos

"This is a quick video demonstrating and ARP Quadra that we restored. This is not a rehearsed demo where chops are trying to be proven. This is a demo for the sake of hearing this instrument. All clips are improvised on the spot and are presented with warts and all. On this Quadra, we rebuilt the keyboard mechanicals, power supply, replaced all ICs except special chorus chips and vca chips. The CPU board has been completely rebuilt and the RAM is new. All polarized capacitors have been replaced. All sliders have been cleaned. 45mm sliders in mixer section completely rebuilt, Mahogany sides were added. A brand-new NEA aftertouch sensor that spans entire keyboard was added as well. This instrument looks gorgeous, plays great, and sounds amazing.
We have restored many Quadra synthesizers over the years, and believe us, any Quadra that hasn't been serviced much will need a lot of attention. If you would like more information about the Quadra in this video or our other services, please go to www.NewEnglandAnalog.com"
