Behringer Odyssey Analog Synthesizer

Description

Behringers Odyssey is a faithfully reborn version of the rarefied classic that played a pivotal role in synthesizer evolution and forever redirected the course of popular music. Behringers Odyssey is also loaded with features and connectivity options that simply werent available during the originals 1972-1981 lifespan. More than anything else, Behringers Odyssey is a highly affordable, usable, and capable gateway to your own personal analog voyage of creativity.

Specifications-wise, Behringers Odyssey is a dead ringer for the original dual VCO, duophonic architecture–capable of delivering the ripping hooks heard on hits by The Cars, sweeping soundscapes of Tangerine Dream, and even the voice of RD-D2. Behringers Odyssey is also equipped with a three-position switch that gives you instant access to all three VCF filter designs used during the original run: the MKI 4023 2-pole, 4035 4-pole ladder style MKII, and final MKIII 4075 4-pole revision, plus an added drive switch for harder edged sounds.

Above the 37 full-sized, velocity-sensitive semi-weighted key-bed, youll find a vintage accurate control surface with 35 sliders, 25 switches, and three pressure-sensitive pitch and modulation pads, but dont let that intimidate you. Along with its raucous and ripping sonic potential, Odyssey earned the titles of the 1ST Punk Rock synth and the Performance-Style synth due to its intuitively laid-out, easy-to-learn layoutPlus, Behringer added LED illumination to each slide control for easy identification on dark stages or mood-lit studio environments.

Beyond the vintage sound and experience, Behringer added modern essentials like a 32-step sequencer, arpeggiator, and Klark Teknik 24-bit, studio-grade FX suite that dramatically enhances this reborn Icons sound-crafting potential. Behringer also has you covered with all the modern and essential connectivity youll need for integration and workflow with your modern digital set-up, including–MIDI I/O over USB and DIN connections, sustain and portamento footswitch jacks, external audio In, CV I/O, Gate I/O, balanced XLR and 1/4″ Main outputs, and 1/4″ Headphone jack.
