Synthchaser #091 – ARP Odyssey 4023 Filter Repair
A customer was told by another tech that his vintage ARP Odyssey’s filter was dead and would need to be replaced with an aftermarket filter. The customer liked the sound of his filter so he brought it to me and I de-encapsulated it and fixed it so he could get back the exact sound he valued his vintage Odyssey for.
Synthchaser #090 – Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Factory Patches Demo
Demo of the 40 factory patch sounds from the Prophet 5 (Rev 3.2). This is not intended to be musical, just a demo of the sounds. I am far better at fixing them than playing them.
Buy this Prophet 5!

Synthchaser #089 – Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 – Loading Factory Patches
Over the previous 6 videos, I repaired and restored a broken Prophet 5. Now that it’s all fixed up, in this video, I show how to load the factory patches into the P5 via the cassette interface.
Synthchaser #088 – Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Restoration & Repair – Oscillator Repair
OMG! The long awaited 6th installment of my my Prophet 5 restoration video series has finally arrived!
Last spring we mostly restored a broken Prophet 5, but I got busy with customer repairs and never finished it up. Today we’ll track down and repair one final problem with the P5… Seemingly random out of tune notes.
Synthchaser #087 – Oberheim OB-SX Restoration & Repair
Billed as a preset-only OB-X but sporting nearly identical voice cards to the OB-Xa, the Oberheim OB-SX is a pretty underrated synth. Here I give some love to a long neglected OB-SX by rebuilding the power supply, voice cards, and keybed, and repairing a few other problems I encounter along the way.
Synthchaser #086 – ARP Pro Soloist Repair – Dead Presets & Broken Wow Effect
Repairing another customer’s ARP Pro Soloist. This one had very few patches working when it came in due to bad switches and a faulty VCA. Also engaging the Wow touch sensor effect would short circuit the keyboard and cause there to be no output at all.
Synthchaser #085 – Four ARP 2600 Repairs
No, not repairing 4 ARP 2600s, making 4 repairs to the same ARP 2600…
In this video we bring life back to an ARP 2600 with 2 dead oscillators, dead sample and hold, and dead left speaker.
Synthchaser #084 – ARP Pro Soloist Repair – Dead Touch Sensor, Dead Presets, Bleeding Notes
A customer sent in his Pro Soloist for repair because the touch sensor effects weren’t working and some presets sustained indefinitely after releasing the key. I also noticed several of the presets were dead. So we dive in and get this all fixed so he can get back to making awesome music with it.
Synthchaser #083 – ARP Omni 2 Repair – No Output / Lights On, Nobody Home
Wrapping up the restoration of yet another dead ARP Omni 2, I hook everything up for testing & calibration, but there’s no output. Together we use some simple logic to figure out what’s wrong and fix the synthesizer!
