Description
Condition: Excellent. Light signs of use with no cosmetic defects aside from some slight rack rash. Power cable included.
Whiteface is based on the legendary ARP4023 VCF module often found in the “whiteface” ARP Odyssey Mk1.
FC have engineered out the rare parts and the need for matched transistors for the CV input section by using a Roland-inspired circuit there instead, no change to the vibe though!
The audio path remains pure ARP, with one exception – built as specified on the schematic, the resonance would clip in a way which is neither musical or desirable when set too high. FC have come across a couple of other versions which have this ‘don’t turn it up past 8’ trait, but they went further and engineered that out – a single resistor value change. In Whiteface, the resonance is usable and musical over the entire range!
As they’re bringing part of a hardwired synth to modular, it’s also necessary to buffer the output. FC have used an inverting buffer, which also adds a bit of gain to bring it up to modular levels. A nice side effect of the inverting buffer is that if you mix the input signal with the filter output, and find the sweet spot, you can do highpass filtering too!
