Behringer if you are listening, could you do a 6 or even 8 voice synth built on this model, it would be so insanely good to make big chords with this sound quality. I mean there are lots of mono synths around now and even if I do like them as well they can only take you so far. We need something like a Prophet 6 or OB6 from Behringer to make it more playable. Thanks for releasing awesome products, this sounds really beautiful.
@@inevitablecraftslab They are not. In fact they market them with descriptions like: "An ultra-affordable homage to the legendary ARP synthesizer of the ’70s " and "True to the Original: Great care has been taken in engineering the ODYSSEY, including the true to the original analog circuitry, legendary VCO, VCF and VCA designs". Quotes taken from their website. I don't know if you noticed but Korg did exactely the same a few years ago (E.g. cloning the Arp Odyssey). I don't know about you, but I for one realize that with todays surface mount technology I don't have to pay premium prices for a hand-soldered through-hole component recreation when they are readily available at a fraction of the cost.
Have a friend trying to convince me to pick one up and start learning more synthesis. Have the basics down with my Behringer K2. This thing just looks insane!! And the sounds your getting out of it are amazing! Definitely enjoyed the video
@Snake Plissken Totally agree, I've seen plenty of Synthpunk's videos and they are all complete garbage. He can't play, he just presses random keys & twists knobs and sounds the same on every expensive synth he buys. He's an elitist Moog fanatic and trolls other people who can't afford the best equipment. The only reason he says Behringer synths are crap is because they gave him the boot cos he is mentally unstable & bad for their company. (or any company for that matter). So he takes his frustration & anger out on other people for his own failures.
Cheers man! I actually made a video a while back where I talk a bit more in-depth about making sounds on the Odyssey>> ua-cam.com/video/POThA9ktyNo/v-deo.html
Excellent video! You get a very divers range of sounds out of this machine which you don't see in other demo videos. I'm awaiting delivery of mine. Should be in tomorrow or day after. Can't wait, I have the 2600 too. :)
@@TheUnperson The 2600 is amazing. You can get such a divers range of sounds out of it. I now have the Odyssey too and that is easier to get good sounding music out of quicker because of its simpler setup but you can't beat the 2600 for diversity. It helps if you download the original ARP2600 patch book and try those out. You can translate them directly to the Behringer version and it'll sound pretty much the same. You won't regret getting a 2600. They had the Gray Meanie in stock at Bax Music so I got that one. They're still in stock now.
@@EdEditz do you still find the 2600 + Barp Odyssey a good combination? I have the 2600 but don't always want to open up Ableton to get some arps+sequences going...but love all the modular possibilities. There's a good deal on an Odyssey locally so I'm thinking of getting it to use them both together, and the keyboard+arp+sequencer for my 2600. Cheers
@@humorustrout. Yes it's a great combination. If you can get a good deal on the Odyssey then you should get one. You won't regret it! Mind you it takes some getting used to. The Odyssey is set up a little differently than other synthesizers but you'll soon get the hang of it. It sounds great as you can see in the video above.
Both the oscillators are tuned using the course and fine tune. I'm also using a delay pedal quite often in the video and that can have a big affect on the sound.
@Astro Telomeres was in a band that played lots of Hawkwind covers, used a Minilogue for ages and that was great for playing the filter sine with the lfo. I now have a deepmind and the things this synth can do are amazing. I hear the prophets and the oberheims and I think 'the Deepmind can get me 95% of that sound!'
I've never had a shot of the grandmother but it looks really classy! The Odyssey is quite a difficult synth to understand.. I'm still confused by half of it. I think they are both gonna be fun synths tho. I'd also consider the arturia synths. Microbrute is amazing. Minibrute 2 is good too!
take the grandmother. easy to understand and lots of possibilities with patching as soon as you get deeper with it. i also god the gm as my first synth.
I didn't watch the entire thing, but the delay is the main part of the first sound more than the Odyssey is. Not a fan. I have a Korg Odyssey and it doesn't sound anything like this. I prefer it with only reverb, though I have a real Deluxe Memory Man I like using on other synths. The buzzy tone and the osc sync is what makes the Odyssey cool, imo. It's really not very complicated, but there are a lot of sweet spots.
We really enjoyed this journey! Awesome job with the Odyssey! :-) - Dan
Cheers Dan! :D

@@messiahshow I was thinking about one of the odyssey VST's that are polyphonic but I would probably not like a VST of this synth.
I find it funny how behringer is marketing those synths as if they did anything more than copying schematics and designs LOL What a bunch of clowns

Great video! The Odyssey is one of my favorite synths of all time. It has been a good travel companion indeed :)
cheers man! It's the best sounding mono synth I've played. Really tempted by the 2600 tho which seems like an odyssey on steroids :)
You can get lost for hours in the Odyssey. I've got the Behringer type with built in effects and sequencer. Totally bonkers analogue madness!

Man... this was amazing. I would love to pick your brain sometime on a few techniques.

Awesome creation, very inspiring, thank you!
Thank you! ☺️
Great demo, this video flipped my wallet :D ... and I love this synth!
Sorry to hear about your wallet - I'm sure you'll have no regrets tho! :D
@@TheUnperson No regrets at all. I loved your musical exploration and now I can enjoy it as well :D Thank you!
You can say that again..
Great video! Thank to this, mine arrives tomorrow!
So awesome. I REALLLLLLY WANT ONE.
Cheers! Get one! 😆
@@TheUnperson 100% Yes.
Good way to communicate
Sounds amazing.
Thank you :)
Awe Man you have an Arion DDS-1, fantastic delay that!!
great vid
yeaaa i love it! I think I made a video about it actually ....
....i did!

Beautiful my friend.................
cheers man!
This is great
Thanks!
Fantastic! Congrats on the shout-out from Behringer!
cheers man!
Mega Delia Derbyshire vibes
Nice Gojira sticker on the VTM there
Well spotted!
@@TheUnperson I have their red Meatboy/Meathead fuzz, fantastic pedal
Hi! Great sound you got there! Would you recommend buying Odyssey or Minibrute 2 for a first time synth?
Hey! For a first synth I’d go with the microbrute 2. It’s more versatile and has a really great sequencer/arpeggiator.
@@TheUnperson Thanks)
That noise at 16:07, that unlocked a memory I din’t know I have, can I ask where is that from?
Sounds like a pacman sound
@@monkeyinaspaceship defo must be something ancient, like something I used to play on commodore or amiga...
❤❤❤
I love this Synthesizer
Me too ~ it sounds so classic and vintage
Did you manage to stop the VTM going into the red? I had one but was worried I was doing something wrong. Nice vid too
it goes into the red quite a lot. I just ignore it and hope that it's adding some nice saturation lol
@@TheUnperson Cool, I'll need to hunt online for an overpriced one now
I tried these patches but my Odyssey sounds nothing like those. Did you tune yours to get that sound?
Both the oscillators are tuned using the course and fine tune. I'm also using a delay pedal quite often in the video and that can have a big affect on the sound.
this or the 2600 for space rock/prog rock fx?
i reaaaally want a 2600... I reckon they are both very capable space rock machines tho!
@@TheUnperson Hehe,, yes I think I agree with you.
I have both they are different in their own way, Odyssey is simpler and powerful, 2600 is like pandora's box.
@Astro Telomeres was in a band that played lots of Hawkwind covers, used a Minilogue for ages and that was great for playing the filter sine with the lfo. I now have a deepmind and the things this synth can do are amazing. I hear the prophets and the oberheims and I think 'the Deepmind can get me 95% of that sound!'
Would you recommend this or the grandmother for my first synth?
I've never had a shot of the grandmother but it looks really classy! The Odyssey is quite a difficult synth to understand.. I'm still confused by half of it. I think they are both gonna be fun synths tho. I'd also consider the arturia synths. Microbrute is amazing. Minibrute 2 is good too!

Delay and analogue synths are meant to be together 😆
