The ARP String Synthesizer, also known as the ARP Solina String Synthesizer or sometimes the Solina String Synthesizer, is an ARP Instruments, Inc. synthesizer. It is a hybrid model which combined both the ARP String Ensemble and the ARP Explorer monophonic synthesizer. It was built in Bodegraven, Netherlands. Supposedly only about 100 were ever produced.[1] The addition of the ARP Explorer to the Solina string sounds made for a very powerful combination.
This synth had four keyboard modes:
- Strings Only
- Strings through the Explorer low-pass filter
- Explorer voice combined with the lower Solina keyboard (contrabass and cello)
- Explorer voice combined with the upper Solina keyboard (viola, violin, trumpet, horn)
Variations
The manufacturer of Solina series, Eminent B.V., also shipped a home organ model, named Solina C112 (with "Explore I" logo), which included the ARP String Synthesizer.[citation needed]
