The ARP 1601 was a 2×8 or 1×16 step sequencer that could utilize three separate gate busses. It also had a built in quantizer so voltages which would ensure that output always in the 1 volt per Octave standard to keep everything sounding “in tune”. When released in the early to mid 1970s, it was considered state of the art in an analog world.
This is a true to the original clone of the classic 16 step sequencer that was designed to complement the ARP 2600 and other vintage ARP synthesizers. Configurable between 16 step mode and dual 8 step mode. 3 gate busses, with a variety of modulation options. 25 patch points and both quantized (0-2V) and non-quantized (0-10V) outputs give the sequencer an amazing array of interfacing options with a wide range of synthesizers, both vintage and modern.
Where the original ARP 1601 had fader caps the clone has LED faders. Full size compared with the original version.
