Anyone going to pair the electribe 2 or sampler with Korg Od

[Ted3000]

Is anyone excited to add Korg's upcoming Arp Odyssey to their rig, or are electribe players more interested in the One Box To Rule Them All theory?

Entering notes with external keys can be easier... and having a brand new classic analog synth to do it with seems like a rare treat, and keeps it in the Korg family...

Do you know a price on that yet Ted?

No, not yet. I'm hoping Korg makes it around MS-20 Mini price or under.

At the moment just focusing on the Electribe on its own, though I might pair it wi the sampler once I find out more about it. No real interest in the Arp here, not really my thing.

ARP ODYSSEY
DUOPHONIC SYNTHESIZER

Forty years later, a complete revival

The ARP Odyssey was an analog synthesizer originally produced in 1972 by the American manufacturer ARP Instruments, Inc. that quickly garnered a faithful following among musicians. Well respected for its high value, ease to play and portability, the ARP Odyssey had undergone several improvements during its history and continued to be a long-seller until manufacturing stopped in 1981 due to economic hardships and the digital surge. Loved by a wide range of musicians as a historical classic, its sound can be heard on numerous classic songs.

Now in 2015, Korg has brought back the ARP Odyssey for today. With the advisory assistance of David Friend, the co-founder of ARP Instruments, Korg has completely reproduced the original circuitry for artists looking to recreate classic sounds and explore new ones. Together the engineers at Korg and Arp were able to nail the sound and feel of the original. Every detail has been carefully considered to stay true to the quality of the original, down to the sophisticated semi-hard case.



● Complete reconstruction of three generations of circuitry, with the founder as advisor

o The distinctive synthesis of the ARP Odyssey has been reproduced from the circuit level up
o Filters of all three generations are provided
o Portamento behaviors of both Rev1 and Rev2/3 are provided

● An evolved ARP Odyssey that preserves the basic design of the original

o Compact body, highly operable sliders, and a slim keyboard that's easy to play
o DRIVE switch (new function) is provided
o Connectors include MIDI and headphone output
o Patch cables included
● Dedicated semi-hard case included

Some time in the mid-nineties we had an Arp Odyssey and an Arp Solus. The Odyssey started freaking out during an improv recording session, shrieking and going crazy, then it caught on fire and smoked up the entire house. We got the entire episode recorded and it made it to the final release. Good times.

The filter specs are better than expected (mk I, II and III filters, so essentially a Moog ladder filter option is in there) but the "compact body" and "slim keyboard" - is this another 79% scaled synth?

The price, hmm. Coming in a little higher than I wanted, that goes double if it's mini or scaled.

Talked to a tech a few years ago about the guts of the Odyssey - he told me "there's hardly anything in there, it would cost very little to clone the board." While I don't know if that is totally true, I'd guess there's a very healthy profit margin on these things.

Here's looking at you, Behringer!
