Behringer Odyssey

Duphonic Synthesizer (2019)

Affordable SMD clone made in China from legendary American Arp Odyssey with some modern features

OVERVIEW 37 full-sized, semi-weighted keys, it basically keeps aspects of original machine, duophonic with mk3 outfit adding a display, arpeggiator+sequencer three modes filter and digital effects. Panel offerts 35 sliders and 25 switches for real-time tweak.

OSCILLATORS monophonic / duophonic analog synthesizer. Like the original, a voice is composed either 2 X VCO oscillators (saw/squaer) + 1 white or pink noise circuit.

ENVELOPE 2x EGS : EG1 with ADSR and EG2 with simpler AD

FILTER Behringer has been "inspired" by 3 original filter designs from ARP: The MKI filter was a 2-pole 4023 type,MKII was a 4-pole 4035 ladder filter and MKIII 4075 filter was also a 4-pole design. Also a drive saturator

EFFECTS digital dsp with reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter and multi-effects

SEQUENCER it is possibile to program up to 32 note/rest steps via either Keyboard or Step mode and save them as a pattern. You can record, save, and recall up to 64 patterns that can be stored in eight banks, with each bank holding up to eight patterns.

ARPEGGIATOR The onboard Arpeggiator offers eight patterns that you can trigger simply by playing a chord.
