ARP 2500 - 1026 Preset Voltage Module

The 1026 is a rare module. I think only a few were produced and Ive never seen a original

though there are a few reproductions around.

Probably the year of production of the originals was about 1970 ???  

 

There are 16 preset voltages : 2 rows of control voltages 

each holding 8 individual CV values.

You set their value with the pots.

You trigger the CVs by pushing the associated momentary button

or with a 10V gate. (at lines 1 to 8).

The output voltages appear at lines 9 & 10.

Pretty simple.

The manual suggests using this with the 1027 sequencer or 1050 Mix-sequencer.

There is a socket at the rear of the unit to connect to a 1027 or 1050.

 

Specs:

Output voltages: 0 to +10V

Output impedances: 1K ohms

Input impedances : 100 K ohms

Power requirements: +/- 15V @ 20ma , regulated to +/-0.1%

 

 

 

 

 

 

It reminds me very much of the Serge programmer.

I have of course, rotated the pic to illustrate my idea.

I wonder which module came first?

The programmer has evolved into many forms today.

Think Makenoise pressure points & 0-control 

or Synthwerks 4x4
