ARP : Odyssey Analog Synthesizer ARP

37-key Duophonic Analog Synthesizer with Slimkey keybed, 2 VCOs, LFO, Sample & Hold, VCF, HPF, Ring Mod; ADSR and AR EGs, Noise Generator, CV/Gate/Trig Patch Points, MIDI In (DIN), and USB (Type B)

The historic ARP Odyssey. From those seriously funk-laden Herbie Hancock bass lines to George Duke's snarling, in-your-face leads with Zappa, the Odyssey was amazingly versatile. Billy Currie (Ultravox) called it the first punk synthesizer, with an aggressive sound that cut through raucous guitars like a hot knife through butter. It's about time for a re-creation of this duophonic analog synth legend, which nails the circuitry, sound, and feel of the original - at 86% of the size. How is it better than the original? Well, they added USB, for one, along with a new Drive switch and headphone output. Read more about the ARP Odyssey to find out why you really, really need one.
