ARP Odyssey analogue synthesiser - lead sound with FM


YouTube via buchla300
"ARP Odyssey - A simple lead sound but using the s/h mixer to modulate VCO2 with itself. Also shows the ring modulator and FM of the filter with VCO 2
The odyssey is a superb little synth. In my opinion underrated compared to the Minimoog
It has quite a few functions that are missing on the Minimoog (S&H, Ring Mod, PWM, Duophonic, LFO trigger of the envelopes, initial gain, Hi Pass filter, VCO Sync etc) and is certainly well worth the money they go for. Usually my first suggestion for people looking for a decent analogue synthesizer.
Mine is pretty rare as it has a factory fitted second filter which is superb. It can do lopass, lopass 4 pole, notch, bandpass and vc high pass as well as the inbuilt hipass.
Quite a few different versions of these but I think they all sound good."
