Korg Arp Odyssey

Description

Korg Arp Odyssey

ARP ODYSSEY is Korg's faithful reissue of this glorious 70s analog synthesizer, created in close collaboration with David Friend, one of the founders of ARP himself. The instrument is slightly more compact in size than the original model, made with high-quality materials, and with particular attention to the highly operational sliders and the Slim keyboard. The original circuitry of the three different editions of this instrument has been meticulously reconstructed in this synthesizer: Rev 1, 2 and 3, with all their peculiarities, in particular regarding the different characteristics of the filters and portamento. Of these versions, the Rev 1 and Rev 2 aesthetic variants, identical in finish to the originals, are also re-proposed in a limited edition. Thanks to current technology, new features not present in vintage models have also been implemented, such as the DRIVE function, or MIDI or USB ports. The instrument also comes with a dedicated semi-rigid case and patch cables.
