Arp Odyssey & Arp Quadra Nord Sample Library

"We're proud to present these brilliant samples from two legendary Arp synthesizers from the seventies, namely the Arp Odyssey and the Arp Quadra - both with tons of personality! Now in the Nord Sample Library!

The Arp Odyssey was a 2-oscillator analog synthesizer released 1972 in response to the popular (and compact) Minimoog and was a huge success for Arp. The Odyssey went through several redesigns until production ended in 1981, improving on the filters and connectivity as well as the visual layout of the synth itself. Notable features were oscillator sync and pulse-width modulation and a duo-phonic mode.

The Arp Quadra was 4 analog synths in one, with dedicated sections for Bass, Strings, Poly and Lead sounds that could be layered – a quite unique feature when released in 1978. Other notable features were the thick phase-shifting effect from the Arp Omni II synthesizer and aftertouch-like features in the upper part of the keyboard (for leads) and two independent portamento rates for each VCO!

The Nord Sample Library is compatible with the Nord Electro 3/4, Nord Stage 2, Nord Wave and Nord Piano 2-series."

Tone Editing/Export/Import
Song Import/Export to MIDI
CD to Diskimage Export
Patch Import/Export
You get tone, song and patch import/export functionality all in one box.

Program it self has a long development history going back to 1996 when I have started on reverse engineering of Roland W30 native data format and released first version for MS-DOS. With coming of Windows NT4 I've made a first Windows version.

"classic piece of music gear. Please note that this is a midi controller for controlling midi sound sources such as keyboards, sound modules, drum machines, etc. It was not designed to make sound of its own. Approx.

dimensions: 18 1/2"w, 19 1/2"h, 5"d. Weight is approx. 22lbs. There are stick marks on the rails that flank the pads, but aside from that, it is sound cosmetically.

Will ship to continental US only.

Product features:

A pad to midi controller, the Portakit has 6 drum mic inputs as well as 7 built in dynamic pads. Up to 50  memories are on board, along with a pattern sequencer to memorize pad hits. The sequencer has a  memory

capacity of up to 10,000 events w/ auto quantize, programmable tempos, and overdub. Up to 12  sequences can be stored. Simmons is utilizing RForce sensing film technology to help eliminate  crosstalk between pads,

and there are ten dynamic curves to suit the player’s style. Also included are inputs  for bass drum and hi-hat pedals..."
