What is the ODYSSEY?

The ODYSSEY was manufactured from 1972 through 1981 by the ARP Corporation and was one of their best-known products. Broadly speaking, there are three versions according to their date of production, and these three differ in appearance, as well as in tonal character and functionality. Model 2800 is known as Rev. 1; this includes the initial white-panel model produced from 1972 to 1974 and the black-panel model produced from 1974 to about 1975. Models 2810–2813 are known as Rev. 2; these consist of the black panel models which were produced from 1975 to about 1976. Changes were made to the filter, and changes were also made to the oscillator of some models. External audio input and CV/GATE input jacks were also added, and later models changed the knobstyle pitch bender to a PPC (Proportional Pitch Control). Models 2820–2823 are known as Rev. 3, and were produced from 1978 to about 1981. The panel changed to a black panel with orange silkscreening, and the design also changed significantly from models 2800–2813. The audio output was also changed from RCA/PHONE to XLR/PHONE jacks.

Main Features

ARP ODYSSEi reproduces the traditional VCO, VCF, and VCA of the ARP ODYSSEY. It allows flexible synthesis with a high degree of improvisatory freedom.
Monophonic, Dubophonic, and polyphonic modes are provided. Duophonic mode sounds the oscillators at separate pitches when you play two keys simultaneously, and polyphonic mode lets you perform using the number of voices specified by the total voice parameter. (However, there is only a single filter and amp.)
Two types of envelope generators are provided: ADSR type and AR type.
Oscillator sync. This feature is valued for generating numerous high-frequency overtones and for its sharpness.
Modulation can be applied in a wide variety of ways.
Two types of noise are provided.
LFO and S&H are provided, and you can switch their routing.
The filters from the three different types of ARP ODYSSEY are provided and can be selected by a single switch.
The arpeggiator can be programmed in detail as a step sequencer, and seven types of effects are newly provided to modify the sound in a variety of ways.
The MIDI clock can be received from an external sequencer to synchronize the tempo of the LFO or the arpeggiator.
