155.0. "WANTED: Arp Omni2 documentation" by PISCES::BOURQUE () Tue Sep 24 1985 16:28

     I'm looking for a user's manual, schematics, programming guide,
   or ANY such documentation on the ARP OMNI-2 keyboard.  I understand
   the company was in Lexington, Mass. but no longer exists.  I would
   appreciate anything -- original manuals, photocopies, or hints as to
   where I can find any of the above.  Please respond to PISCES::BOURQUE
   or call DTN: 237-2382 in Shrewsbury, Mass.
                                                  Thanks,
                                                   Dave

   P.S. This request also entered in SWAPPER.NOT and MUSIC.NOT

	According to a letter in this month's Keyboard magazine, a company called Music Dealer Services bought all of ARP's spare parts, service literature, etc. when ARP went out of business. The letter refers to the October 1984 issue of Keyboard, which is where the original question about ARP Omni-2 interfacing came up. I would suggest contacting Tom Darter, Keyboard magazine editor, to get the address of MDS, or get ahold of an October 1984 issue. Keyboard Magazine, 20085 Stevens Creek, Cupertino, CA 95014. Good luck, Derek
155.2	Looking for ARP module schmatics	HSKAPL::VERGHESE		`Wed Apr 11 1990 12:19`	10
	I'm desperately looking for schematics of ARP's synth modules, particularly VCF's, as used in the model 2600 and Quadra. I've got service manuals for the above synths, but there's no information on the modules themselves. Alternatively, does anyone have the address and/or FAX no. of Music Dealer Services?

155.3	An ex-Omni ?	BAHTAT::CARR	Dave Carr 845-2317	`Mon Jul 15 1991 08:05`	6
	I know it's a long way down the line, but I'd appreciate a copy of any circuit diagrams for the OMNI. I have a dead OMNI at home. After not being used for a couple of years, it produced a few notes and then died (not a Mains fuse problem). *Dave (in the UK)
155.4	I think Ron Ross mailed me a set years ago, so...	DYPSS1::SCHAFER	What's on YOUR mind?	`Mon Jul 15 1991 10:44`	8
	I think I have a set lying around. Let me see if I can find them. A slightly related aside - I was cleaning the attic a few weeks ago and ran across an OMNI-II demo record, and an old poster with Kerry Livgren on one side (b&w), and every ARP synth known to man on the other (in living color)! Talk about history ... +b (who used to own 3 different ARPs)
155.5	Please...	BAHTAT::CARR	Dave Carr 845-2317	`Tue Jul 16 1991 06:07`	6
	re .-1 � I think I have a set lying around. Let me see if I can find them. If you can, a copy to Dave Carr @LZO would be highly appreciated! Cheers, *DC
155.6	Omni vs. Omni 2 - differences?	BAHTAT::CARR	Dave Carr 845-2317	`Mon Jul 29 1991 10:34`	6
	Does anyone know if there are major differences between the Omni and Omni-2? Would the schematics for the Omni-2 be of help in trying to fix an Omni(1)? Thanks for any info, *DC
