Title link takes you to shots pulled via this auction.Details:
"The Odyssey has two oscillators that produce either saw tooth or square/pulse wave forms. Two notes can be triggered at once on the keyboard with one oscillator per note or both oscillators will be triggered when one note is played on the keyboard. There is a noise generator, random sample and hold, and portamento. A nice feature on this model is the PPC controller. The three white rubber pads on the left side above the keyboard will flatten, raise or introduce vibrato to the note depending on how much pressure is applied to the pads."
Actually, I think the presence of the PPC pads means this is a Mk III Odyssey. If I remember right, the lineage runs like:
ReplyDeleteMk I: Whiteface, 4012 filter (Moog ladder copy)
Mk II: Blackface, 4072 filter (post-Moog suit, 'compromised' design), pitchbend knob.
Mk III: Blackface, 4072 filter, PPC pads.
Can't quite recall if there were any Mk I blackfaces or Mk II whitefaces, though, but I do know there's definitely that distinction as per the filter difference. Maybe someone can shed a little more light on that...?
Mk III have the orange boxes and lines - this one's definitely got the Mk II stylings.
ReplyDeleteI have this make of Oddy, it is a mk II probably with a 4023 filter. Its hard to tell which filters the mk IIs have sometimes even when you crack them open. The 4023 has no markings on the back of the board which is what I think distinguishes it as a 4023. It still sounds pretty awesome and they don't seem to pop up for sale quite as often as any of the other models even though they seem to usually sell for a bit less.

oops I ment 4075 not 4023

The 4012 was not a Moog filter copy and there was no lawsuit.
ReplyDeleteThe sample and hold is not random if you sample a waveform too.
