"CV and GATE modification was just added...

First came the Odyssey Mk I (Model 2800) produced between 1972-1975. These used a smooth but tiny sounding 2-pole VCF filter design (model 4023) similar to those used in the Oberheim SEM modules. From 1972 to 1974 the Odyssey was produced with a white-faced front panel with black lettering. During 1974 to 1975 they switched to a redesigned black front panel with gold lettering. However, all Mk I's can be identified by the rotary knob they use for pitch bending. None had any interface jacks, but a factory modification was available to add interface jacks as well as a PPC pitch bender in place of the rotary knob.
