The Behringer Odyssey is a clone of the famous retro classic ARP Odyssey, which was equipped with a few extras compared to the original. It has remained true to the duophonic synthesizer built from 1972-1981 and has all three filter revisions that were released at that time under one roof: 2-pole 4023, 4-pole 4035 and 4-pole 4075 are easily switchable in the filter section. In addition, a switchable overdrive was integrated between filter and VCA.
The most obvious feature of the Odyssey has always been the many sliders and switches, which simply offer a different way of handling the instrument. With two analog oscillators that feature sawtooth and square wave with pulse width modulation, a comprehensive sample & hold function, LFO, ring modulator, audio and CV mixer, lowpass filter with all three versions of that time, downstream highpass filter, overdrive, VCA and two envelopes, this reincarnation of a cult synth is amazingly versatile and fully equipped.
Besides countless bass and lead sounds, it is the sync sounds that have the biggest share in the cult factor of the Odyssey. In addition, the instrument still has to be credited with the fact that its many modulation possibilities allow for abstract sounds, for which a modular system would have to be used then as now.
A new addition to the Behringer Odyssey is a digital effects processor from Klark Teknik with 32 different programs from the areas of delay, reverb and modulation effects, which is a welcome addition both live and in the studio. In addition, there is now also a 32-step sequencer with 64 memory slots and an arpeggiator.
