ARP Odyssey CV range

Do the Korg/ARP Odyssey CV/TTIG/GATE/PEDAL inputs safely accept the standard 0V-10V CV range? Sorry for the simple question, I can’t seem to find confirmation of this in any specs somehow.

Yes. Up to 10V input is OK. The supply rails are at +/-15V, so should accept up to 10V without risking potentially destructive latch-up in the internal circuits. The Trig Out and Gate Out jacks supply 10V, so another connected Arp Odyssey should be able to handle that. The VCOs are specified at 20Hz to 20kHz. Since C10 is 16,744Hz, based on A 440Hz standard pitch, 10V in should be fine.

Thank you! If I recall correctly, the Odyssey keyboard ranges from C1-C8 including the +/- 2 octave switch; so what you’re saying also implies that an external CV can provide oscillator (upper) pitch ranges that the Odyssey keyboard CVs cannot?
