"Like nearly all the high end vintage analog synths we sell, this item has been METICULOUSLY disassembled, cleaned inside and out, FULLY serviced by professionals who’ve been servicing and selling vintage synths for more than the last 2 decades, and systematically tested multiple times over a long period to ensure it’s working exactly as it should. No BS. No ebay surprises. We’re perfectionists and don’t cut corners. Although this instrument came to us in relatively good shape, we want our items to be better than the rest and invested *many* hours of tech time plus parts costs to fully overhaul this unit so it would be clean, working like new again and as reliable as possible for its next owner. This was a serious investment of time, love, and money, and was definitely worth the effort and is of course reflected in the higher than usual price. If you’re looking for a great sounding example of this model that works just like it should without needing to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars in tech fees and waiting from weeks to years, this one should make you very happy.
The work required to properly restore these so they're working as well as possible and hopefully stay that way long into the future is both time consuming and costly and adds great value to this item. This is of course reflected in its higher than usual price. You will not find a better one anywhere.
In addition to any repairs, we did the following to this unit:
-All slide pots have been replaced with new ones - not low quality replicas of the originals but high quality modern pots that feel good and work perfectly.
-Power supply recapped, trim pots replaced.
-Tantalum capacitors replaced.
-Unit disassembled and cleaned inside and out.
-Recalibrated.
-All jacks cleaned.
-Replaced molex connectors (10).
-Replaced 1, 5, 9, 13 LEDs with slightly brighter LEDs so you may be able to better visualize note divisions.
-Replaced original wooden sides with higher quality new ones.
-Installed new nuts and washers for jack board.
-Systematically tested multiple times, with burn in test.
This process required 14 hours of skilled vintage synth tech time plus around $350-400 in parts. Thanks to this significant investment, this ARP Sequencer works like new again and is way better than the rest. Sure to make anyone looking for a perfectly working ARP Sequencer very happy.

"This unit came to us in relatively good shape but was fully serviced to make it better than the rest, a process that cost us 12 hours of highly skilled and valuable tech time. The result is a professionally restored instrument that's fully functioning and is ready to play, unlike most, and is justifiably more costly than lesser examples. Depeche Mode used this model sampler heavily to create its signature sound in the 80s.
In addition to any minor repairs necessary, we did the following work to this unit:
Disassembly and cleanup.
All push switches cleaned and lubed.
Power supply electrolytic capacitors replaced for longevity.
Molex connectors replaced for reliability.
Cleaned and lubed pots.
Cleaned all key contacts.
Cleaned floppy drive heads.
Replaced backlight with new one. These are usually dead, making displays unreadable in all but good lighting.
Thorough testing.
Disk v 3.0
memory 484495 = 17.6 sec, 1 meg max.

Polyend Play - Chance/Action
video upload by Polyend
"Polyend Play's Highlighted Features Videos - Chance and Action will allow you to spice up your patterns in a quick and efficient manner. Chance can add a little bit of variety to your sequence to keep your listeners engaged or create evolving generative soundscapes.
These videos are an addendum to Play's online manual - polyend.com/manuals/play. Polyend Play was made to allow you to discover new ways of making music, and to inspire you by having a good time!
Chance – determines if/when the selected action is executed. If the action is eg. “Random Note” controls the tuning condition for triggered notes. The algorithmic Chance/Action couple operates on both internal sample-based and MIDI sequencing and is never destructive to the existing steps.
Action – special action/effect to be executed after the step is played."
