ARP Odyssey – What a monster!

I recently got my beloved ARP Odyssey back from restoration after more than two years! But it was so worth the wait.

The Oddy (pun intended) can be a bit intimidating at first glance: No pitch and modwheels, sliders instead of knobs, a bit of a quirky layout... combined with its surprisingly complex modulation capabilities, this puts the ambitious synthesist on the quest for the "taming of the unruly".

After spending some quality time with this now fully restored beauty, I get in touch with her soul deeper and deeper and I just performed a little improvised sound meditation, pushing the amazing 4023 filter of this rare whiteface mk I to places where no Behringer clone will ever go... ;-)

It touches my heart how she sings and dances with the Juno! Let me know what these sounds evoke in you!
