Customising Features
a. Voice Mutes - Allows the engineers to mute a voice if they choose.
b. Noise gate - Eliminates low-frequency echo sounds.
c. Vibrato - Alters the sounds by periodic changes in pitch.
d. Tremolo - Makes the sound soft, with periodic change in amplitude.
e. Control - Modifies the sound by changing the pitch of the input signals.
1. Master Tune: Tunes whole instrument.
2. Transpose: Moves up or Down the whole instrument by an octave.
3. PWM Source: Select either the ADSR or LFO sine wave to pulse width modulate.
4. VCO I Waveform Mix: Either sawtooth wave or pulse wave.
5. VCO II: Tune, transpose and waveform mix controls independently.
6. LFO: Affects vibrato, tremolo, and trills.
7. Trigger Switch: Enables single or multi triggering.
8. Portamento: Creates glissando effect.
9. Vibrato Depth: Determines effects of pitch modulation.
10. Pitch Bend: Modifies pitch for bending purposes.
11. Ring Modulator: For combining kau and platian sounds.
12. Voltage Controlled Amplifier.
13. All-in-one systems interface ports for ARP synths.
14. Filter effect pedal input for additional pedal control.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What type of keyboard is installed in the ARP Solus?
A: The implemented keyboard of the ARP Solus is a full three-octave range keyboard.
Q: How many oscillators does the Solus have?
A: Solus is equipped with two voltage controlled oscillators.
Q: What other types of waveforms can be generated by the oscillators?
A: As regards oscillators, they produce saw and pulse waveforms.
Q: Is it possible to transpose the entire the instrument?
A: Yes, it is possible to transpose it once or down by an octave.
Q: And in this case which is more practical trancebass, does the ADSR Envelope Generator perform some function?
A: The ADSR Envelope Generator defines the embouchure of the sound, ie the time depending on attack, decay, sustain and release.
Q. Is there pitch bending?
A: Yes, the pitch bend is present in Solus.
Q: What outputs are provided by Solus?
A: Solus has Lo-Fi and Hi-Fi audio outputs as well as external audio input ports.
Q: Are there modulation and effects in this instrument?
A: Yes, there is rotation modulation, four pole filter capable of vibrato and can be modulated.
Q: What is the weight of the Solus ARP Solus?
A: The ARP Solus weighs 10 Kg or approximately 22 lbs.
Q: Where can I find the audio output impedances specifications?
A: The high-level output has a specified 1 K ohm impedance, the low-level output is specified to have 8 K ohm impedance and the external audio input is specified to have 68 K ohm impedance.
