The Behringer Odyssey is a replica of the Odyssey analogue synthesizer, which was produced by ARP until 1982, and then production was taken over by the Japanese from Korg. It is a duophonic monster whose main feature is its sharp, piercing sound with a rich range of tonal variations. Variety of tones is achieved through the use of two oscillators with a variety of frequency and cross modulation capabilities, as well as a serious set of envelopes, LFOs and other modulators. By its age, the Odyssey had earned a reputation as a skilled analogue lead and bass machine.
45 built-in effects
As expected, Behringer Odyssey is an almost complete copy of the brainchild of ARP. This is the same duophonic synthesizer with two oscillators, each having 4 wave types and maintaining synchronization with each other. The picture is complemented immediately by 3 filters, LFO, a pair of envelopes and a noise generator. Other features of the instrument include a classic 64-pattern sequencer/arpeggiator and a built-in effects unit from Klark Teknik, also recently owned by Behringer. In total there are 45 effects that cover any need for special effects and include a pack of choruses, delays, phasers, etc. Moreover, the effect settings are stored in memory along with presets.
LED display
Compared to the original device from ARP, the Behringer synthesizer has acquired an LED display that simplifies device control. The keyboard has also been improved, which now boasts 37 full-size semi-weighted keys to the delight of all lovers of playing live. It is only strange that they did not add full-fledged polyphony, as was the case with a copy of Minimoog. The circuitry completely copies the original, so only an engineer or a musician with a well-trained ear will hear the difference in sound. They were especially successful in repeating the nature of the sound when synchronizing the oscillators. The only thing that let us down here is the quality of materials and assembly. The Behringer version doesn't seem to be as monolithic as the original.
