A brief, off-the-cuff run through that shows the features and sounds of the ARP Explorer I. No planning or editing because I think the ARP Explorer I is so obscure that this will be one of my least viewed videos. Prove me right or wrong.
The ARP Explorer I (Model 2900) was ARP's first non-preset single oscillator synthesizer, pre-dating the Axxe and the Solus. It includes the same 4027-1 Voltage Controlled Oscillator module found in the ARP 2600, and the same 4034 Moog Ladder Filter Voltage Controlled Filter module found in the ARP Pro Soloist.
Parts, service and synthesizers available on my website. I buy broken synthesizers!

These are lovely sounding. I saved an ARP Explorer I from being trashed and got it running perfectly after replacing most cmos, the tantalums and even a corroded resistor array I had to rebuild. The graphics and panel are trashed (old owner performed some satanic mods) so my next thing is trying to design graphics overlay so it can continue to be played with pride :)

How much to add a basic MIDI input for simple note tracking?

[@RhayaderESP]

#8:36 is that switch spark normal ?

Who's that singing at your wedding?

[@Synthchaser]

It's the overhead light reflecting off the lever of the switch, not a spark.
