ARP ODYSSEY MKIII Analog Synthesizer Vintage 1972 Sounds | HQ DEMO & TUTORIAL

Published on Apr 11, 2020 Andy Whitmore

Update: note the video does feature the later model, so there are no 1972 sounds in this video. See the comments in this post for some additional info.

"The ARP Odyssey is a classic monophonic / duophonic synthesizer. It came out 1972 and was the competitor of the Minimoog. It can be seen as a cutdown version of the ARP 2600 - although some features where added - the highpass filter and the oscillator synchronisation for example.
It has the best sync-lead-sounds I ever heard from a synthesizer! The Odyssey is a real classic - and it sounds classic!

The ARP has a lot of features, so it is very flexible: 2 oscillators (VCO 2 can be used as a second LFO), VCO synchronisation, 2 filters (resonant lowpass & non-resonant highpass), ring modulator, sample & hold, noise generator (white & pink noise), 1 LFO, 2 envelopes (ADSR and AR).

There were three versions of the Odyssey. In my video you see an ARP Odyssey MK III, which has the CV/gate jacks - and an external signal input.

The ARP Odyssey was used by many prominent musicians: Klaus Schulze, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Herbie Hancock, Gary Numan, Pink Floyd, ABBA, Chick Corea, Tony Banks (Genesis), the Carpenters...

Andy Whitmore started life as a top session keyboard player playing on over 50 hit records before turning his hand to music production. He went on to produce 14 top ten hits. He is a pro when it comes to synthesizers, and here explores the ARP Odyssey as part of a brand new series.
One of the most iconic synthesizers ever, Andy’s experience with this Arp classic dates back to the mid-‘90s, and he discusses the basics in his exploration of what makes the ARP Odyssey so great.

Minimoog Model D Reissue – 2016 - Sounds | Synth HQ DEMO & TUTORIAL

Published on Apr 11, 2020 Andy Whitmore

"Everyone says it, but it's true. This is the finest synthesizer ever built. As the LFO Rate knob by the pitch/mod wheels hints, this is the 2016 reissue Model D. The mother of all synths really doesn't need any introduction. You already know the sound so I didn't get too crazy with this video. By no means is this a complex synth, but like a Fender Precision bass, it does what it does extremely well. It simply has a thickness and warmth that few others can touch. R.I.P. Dr. Bob Moog.

What sets this synth apart from the vintage Minimoog is the Midi Implementation which is totally up to date & makes this a much more useable synth in the studio.
One issue with the Vintage Moog is that the midi only goes down to C1 – so to get lower notes through midi – I used to pitch bend the synth down 4 semi tones – then put a transpose on the computer & re-tune it – what a faff!!!"

Published on Apr 11, 2020 Andy Whitmore

"This synth for me has been the biggest surprise. I don’t use it much as I have so many 'superior' synths – but in fact it blew me away. The sound is awesome – top quality – classic – such an easy synth to program & sounds great in a finished mix.

Vintage synth demo by Andy Whitmore, Roland SH-101 Analog Synthesizer from the year 1983 The SH-101 is a very nice synth with a great analog sound. The sound is deep and powerful. The SH-101 is perfect for very nice bass and lead sounds. The internal step-sequencer is pure fun.

"For something different. Today i've been pairing my old friend the G2 with the Cirklon. the G2 really does have fantastic FM capabilities, i've always loved making FM patches. In this performance the Cirklon sequences everything. The G2 has kick and Snare on A, Claps, percussion and hats on B, FM synthesis on C and FX and processing on D slot."

"I performed using KORG Nu: Tekt NTS-1. The song is a chiptune with an Asian melody. Sequences and rhythms other than the melody were made by ableton live. KORG Nu: Tekt NTS-1 is fun to assemble,
You can get absorbed after assembling."
