First Look: GForce Software Oddity2 Synthesizer [The Elusive ARP Centaur & ARP Poly Guitar Synth]


Published on Dec 16, 2014 sonicstate

"To coincide with the launch of the Oddty2 - the latest version of GForce Software's Arp Odyssey emulation, Dave Spiers came down to the studio to show us what it can do"

At 5:30 he mentions the ARP Centaur which was to be a polyphonic ARP Odyssey. He believes there are two in existence with one owned by Pete Townshend of The Who. He's never seen one before. I did a quick search and found only three posts mentioning the Centaur:

1977 ARP Brochure - no pic, and note it's referenced as the Centaur VI.

Modded ARP Odyssey - claims it has "the Centaur filter"

The Top 100 Synths According to the A-Z of Analog Synths - the ARP Centaur at #46.

If anyone knows where to find a pic of the Centaur, let us know. I did a quick image search and found this Poly ARP Guitar Synth on synthforum.nl (Googlish here). According to the thread this the only one out there.

Update: you'll find two pics and some info on the Centaur here.
