ARP Odyssey Modded

images at this auction
"Slightly modified by synth whiz GRANT RICHTER [of Wiard] for even greater playability. These mods do NOT affect the internal modules. They are extra control-voltage controllers.

Mod 1: a JOYSTICK has been added at the upper right of the panel, (see picture) which can control BOTH oscxillators at once, or one oscillator and the VCF at once. Incredible frequency swoops, or swirl the filter while playing. The joystick simply comes in where the foot-pedal jack used to come in.

Mod 2: a PITCHBENDER strip has been added to the upper left of the panel (see picture). Slide your finger up and down, and bend the pitch. Tap your finger on and off it, and you can even "toggle" between two notes.

Mod 3: a RHYTHM SEQUECER has been added just above the keyboard (See picture, more detailed instructions included). This does not disrupt normal functioning of the Odyssey if not used.
Program it by holding down the black keys in a certain patterns while pressing the "step" button. 8 channels of 5 volt trigger outputs, by 8 patterns, by 16 beats per pattern. Use it to trigger drum effects, dimmer packs, or what have you in performances! Includes a tempo control.

To activate during a performance, touch the metal touch pad, then one of the first 8 white keys. No note will sound, but the sequence will start. Subsequent notes will sound normally.

For an extra $30, the auction winner can add two high-quality analog drum synths (see picture)... an awesome bass drum, and snare drum, in a mini-rack. All drum parameters adjustable, and it plugs right into the Odyssey and is triggered by the sequencer.

INCLUDES THE HARD-TO FIND ORIGINAL ARP ODYSSEY PATCH BOOK, WITH 75 PAGES OF PATCHES AND SETTINGS."
