Restored ARP Omni 2 Synthesizer with Synthchaser MIDI Adapter

Description

Here’s a nice, restored ARP Omni 2… with MIDI!!  This synthesizer has just been fully serviced by Synthchaser, the United States’ leading ARP specialist – recapped, new key bushings, new LED sliders, clean, fully functional, calibrated, in tune and sounding great.  And best of all, this has been fitted with the Synthchaser MIDI Adapter!  This keyboard is the sound of Joy Division and is all over The Cars’ “Moving In Stereo”, and many other late 70’s/early 80’s albums.  It produces the lush Solina/String Ensemble sounds plus has a polyphonic synthesizer section with a voltage controlled filter, LFO, and ADSR, and a dedicated bass synthesizer section.

Here’s a video showing that this keyboard is working great!

Very nice condition, except for one corner of each leather side panel peeling back a little bit, see photos.

• Synthchaser MIDI Adapter – Supports MIDI IN and THRU (only an “IN” jack has been fitted on this synthesizer).  Configurable MIDI channel and starting key on your MIDI controller.
• Synthchaser Precision LED slider upgrade.  All 15 of the old original sliders have been replaced with new, smooth, high precision LED illuminated sliders.  The difference in the way these sliders feel and perform compared to the originals is a huge improvement.
• Illuminated slider caps – Slider caps with a translucent plastic stripe that allows the LED illumination to shine through, while giving you something substantial to grip onto.  I recently started using these caps, and they look and feel awesome!
• Power supply rebuilt – All tantalum and electrolytic capacitors in the power supply have been replaced, and high quality, high temperature 105 deg C capacitors have been used for the power supply filter capacitors.
• All tantalum capacitors replaced – The tantalum capacitors in ARP synths are ticking time bombs.  All of the over 100 tantalum capacitors in this synth have been replaced with electrolytics to help provide stable operation for years to come.
• Synthchaser 4075 Filter Enhancement  Kit Installed – The ARP Omni uses the same 4075 filter submodule found in the Odyssey, Quadra, Avatar, and Pro DGX.  This has been recapped, and enhanced to provide superior frequency response.
• 14 IC chips replaced for proper functionality and enhanced reliability
• Keyboard rebuild – New key bushings installed, buss bar & key contacts cleaned and adjusted, keybed leveled, keys ultrasonically cleaned
• Oscilloscope calibration – Fully calibrated to factory spec using oscilloscope and frequency counter.

Prospective buyers are welcome to come try it out before purchasing. Local pickup is welcome and encouraged.  If being shipped, the instrument will be professionally packed by the UPS store and insured for the full purchase price, but this is a vintage electronic item, so all sales will be as-is and final.  But visit the Synthchaser youtube channel and rest assured that a high quality detailed restoration was done to this synthesizer.
