"The ARP Odyssey is a dual oscillator analog synthesizer and one of the first synths to feature duophonic capability. The Mark III was introduced in 1978. Mark III's are also the most common models of the Odyssey. The Mark III used ARP's four-pole "4075" filter.
While earlier models had used a simple rotary knob to control pitch bend, The Mark III introduced proportional pitch control (PPC). PPC used pressure-sensitive buttons to control bend up, bend down, and vibrato. ARP included PPC on other instruments, and also offered a kit to add PPC to earlier Odyssey synthesizers.
Mark III Odysseys also have unbalanced XLR outputs, in addition to unbalanced 1/4" outputs.
The Mark III was cosmetically overhauled to feature a redesigned chassis and orange and black color scheme, which was consistent with other contemporary ARP instruments.
Production of the Odyssey Mark III ceased when ARP Instruments declared bankruptcy in 1981.
Over all very good condition but the switch knobs are falling apart and all will need to be replaced. Comes as shown with paperwork. 1 owner non smoker its whole life. The best part about this synth its the first MKIII ARP ever made! #001 ! A real collectors item."
