Paul Hartnoll, Orbital on the ARP ODYSSEY
Музыка
Paul Hartnoll was one half of electronic dance act Orbital who had huge success both critically and commercially.
Orbital owned the 90’s dance scene but it was their headline appearance at the Glastonbury Festival on 25 June 1994 that brought them most attention. Q magazine classed it as one of the top 50 gigs of all time, and in 2002 included Orbital in their list of "50 Bands to See Before You Die". In this video we visit Paul at his Brighton studio where he is busy working on some solo projects with the ARP ODYSSEY.

Paul makes every single synth sound like Orbital. I think he's got a secret special adaptor that he fits on every synth that comes through the studio door.....

This was hands down the best demo I've seen of the Odyssey, at least for my tastes.

Great Orbital show in Glasgow last night!
That sounds so damn good. I definitely want an Odyssey now.
What a killer bass loop the odyssey is a beast
This needs to be twice as long!
I'd buy that tune. And the synth.
One of the best albums I’ve ever heard featuring the ARP2600 & Odyssey is Klaus Schulze - Timewind . Now that has some wicked sequences. Bayreuth Return is awesome.

Klaus and those German musicians were the pioneers and definite masters of these Synths, a lot of the musicians that came after them were just the also rans and were here today gone tomorrow lightweight wannabes.
So happy to own a vintage one from 1974 - still working and soundig fresh. Very nice review here, well done!
Hey Paul, Thanx for all the inspiration,..
I can't get my Odyssey to sound anywhere near this expressive and loose, but hearing this is a nice reminder that it's indeed possible.

cuz you need to hear alot of the synth' parameters to one day have the muscle memory, making you capable of reaching places with the machine. There are certain edges and cliffs on synthesizer that make it sounds the way you want your synth to sound. only at that moment you can reach the intention of sonic yearning.

It's significant that Paul Hartnoll compares the Odyssey to the early Roland models, since I've got a JX-8p with a PG-800 programmer, the panel of which loosely resembles the Odyssey because of the sliders and non-linear layout. Obviously not loaded with identical features to the Odyssey, but it motivated me to buy a secondhand Axxe Mk II. (I can't express enough how thankful I am that the reissued Odyssey has twice excluded the protruding keyboard whose presence in the late 70s ARP models resulted in my Axxe coming to me - sold as is - with a damaged A key.) Now for a loaded question: since you've got the USB port installed in the back panel, is there a way that a computer, tablet or phone could be used to create external patch memory storage? Or, would that kind of implementation have interfered with the Odyssey's architecture?

you can do massive kick and snare with the " drive " button and a very short attack and decay, it's a little monster, i think i buy it soon because it's been a long time i need a real analog synth.
Is this ARP Odyssey an original (1970s) machine, or a modern re-issue? Did ARP re-introduce it?

Dee Patrick I went with the Boss RE-20, it works with my ARP2600 nice without being so expensive. The Boss RE-20 Space Echo is a digital version of the Roland Space Echo, which isn't as good as the iconic analog Roland Space Echo, but it's very inexpensive in comparison and does also have reverb.
I've been hearing slot about this "FM" sound. I know it's not about the radio but don't quite know what it really means, someone please explain.

Search on 'Frequency Modulation synthesis' for tutorials/explanations. It's when you modify the tone coming out of an oscillator via modulation of the frequency as it produces a sound. This is contrasted with subtractive synthesis, which uses filters to modify the tone of an oscillator after the sound comes out.

Scott Boone so it changes the sound frequency while it's being produced, instead of changing it after the sound is produced using a filter. I'm assuming which will cause a richer more intensive sound. probably why I loved one of my favorite electronic bands called ORBITAL. Because they produced such intensive frequency changes during their live shows I almost couldn't believe it.

Frequency Modulation Synthesis can produce a complex audible waveform. If you know how a low frequency oscillator modulates the pitch of an oscillator of audible frequency, the same occurs with FM, except that the frequency of the modulating oscillator is no longer Low. If you were to modulate a an audible oscillator' frequency with that of another audible oscillator running at the same frequency, the pitch would be rising and falling every waveform cycle for that audible oscillator. The effect is that you wouldn't really hear the rise and fall of pitch because it all happens within the span of a single cycle of that oscillator. Instead what happens is that the shape of the waveform is stretched and compressed very quickly in the space of one cycle causing a new waveform essentially. It is this new waveform that is the interesting aspect of FM because the waveform has a relationship not only to the frequency of the modulator but also to the modulation depth. Using simple sine wave oscillators, one for sound and one for modulating will produce a waveform of significant complexity and that's just with two sine waves -much much more complex than adding two sine wave oscillators together. I hope that description isn't too complicated.
is this the reissue?
how do you do to make shitty patches with an Odyssey ???
In my opinion the ARP Odyssey sounds better than the Matrixbrute. I don't own either (yet) but when I test them both regularly in my music store the ARP always wins for sounds and ease of use. I can get some great harmonics from the Matrixbrute but I can get some better ones from the ARP. Matrix brute looks good, ARP Odyssey sounds good

I happen to own both and I don't really see a point in comparing them. One is a 5kg wonderful thing to tweak your sound on the go. The other is four times the size with literally endless possibilites. ENDLESS. I think you're judgement on the MB is a bit harsh from spending time in a music store :)
I love the edginess of the filter. Unlike the typical warm sound of Moog filters, with the Arp you get mean and nasty.
nice intro: never had an odyssey, but the new one sounds close the old one....
For comping I wonder what yet to come of arpeggio and playing key modes. The difference between this and my Korg Triton Workstation is rather astounding in.. this concept they have to make playing keys your go to menu strategy, but now I'm getting into synthesis and the aspect of playing is very important to me. So the current station is configurable, if you call anything similar to the Minilogue as such. The Odyssey I am curious only of it's module model so to route in my workstation, then adjust for accompanying hand arrangements. My mastering machine is the MV-8800, and right away I already hear murmuring comprehension in the firm apprehension to digital beatmakers. But I've found the pad media capabilities are ahead of time, in the good way.

Sorry Paul, but you CAN have pulse width modulation on your ARP 2600. You just have to route a control signal (an envelope or the LFO) into the oscillator 2 pulse pwm input (prewired to the noise generator). You can't have PWM on any oscillator other than #2, though...

+Jon Watkins Yes, it's unmistakably the Korg reissue, often refered to as the KARP. 1 of the dead giveaways is the 2 small toggleswitches near the VCF and output sections in the top right corner, for changing filter revision and VCA drive respectively - features the original didn't have. Also the 3rd revision with the orange and black colourscheme had protruding keys, the KARP reissue have a relatively deeper base chassis to protect the keys.

I've been singing like a canary over the non-protruding keys since it came out. Singing louder now that the module is on the market. Haven't gotten either yet, but the module is almost self-oscillating at me. If I didn't already have six synths (two of them analog, one of them a modeling synth with a virtual patch matrix), I would already have one of these buggers in my rig.
Shame they fucked up with the FS version. It would be easier to get hold of rocking horse shit.
