Phil O'Keefe Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 So... who's tried out the new ARP Odyssey from Korg? Any interest in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members keybdwizrd Posted June 5, 2015 Members Share Posted June 5, 2015 The only store in Chicagoland that I could find that had one was the GC store downtown on Halsted. Last month I drove all the way down there to try it out, and the one they had on the sales floor was busted. Totally annoying. But I did find out that the mini-keys (or reduced-size keys) are really too small for my fingers and hands. And $999 for a synth without patch memory just isn't practical for me. But I do wish I'd been able to properly audition the sound of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members trevcda Posted June 9, 2015 Members Share Posted June 9, 2015 Nothing to add to the post, just a little reminiscing. I was very young when the original ARP Odyssey came out, but still very musically driven. I got ahold of a promotional sound sheet from Arp. Remember those things that you tore out of a magazine that had a spot to place a quarter so that you could play it on a turn table? Well apparently I kept repeatedly trying to play it on my step father's obscenely expensive turntable (which played through an equally obscene system) despite being forbidden to do so numerous times. I remember when rap music, specifically scratching, came to be a thing, that I should be credited for its invention as I'd been inadvertently doing that with his turntable for years. But man how I wanted that synthesizer, just from listening to that sound sheet. A little more on topic; I can't believe they wouldn't put some sort of patch memory on there. That's like putting an unstable tuning system in there just because that's the way it used to be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
