ARP, THE LEGEND REBORN
In 2015, ARP's history was thrust into the spotlight with the rebirth of the ARP Odyssey. Synthesizer fans around the world were ecstatic - authentic reissues of some of ARP's most iconic and legendary synthesizers were finally about to be revealed. From the ARP ODYSSEY FS, with its full-size keyboard, to the long-awaited ARP 2600 FS and ARP 2600 M, ARP synths were once again at the forefront of the modern music scene.
THE ORIGINAL SOUND
Now, with the release of the ARP ODYSSEY FS kit, musicians have the opportunity to take the ARP legend on the road. True to the ARP Odyssey FS, the kit uses the same analogue circuitry as the reissue released in 2015, preserving the original warm and rich sounds that made this iconic synth famous in the 1970s.
The kit also features all the original Rev. 3 characteristics with a full-size keyboard and a black panel with orange silkscreen. And to make assembling the Odyssey easier, an illustrated guide is included;
no technical knowledge or soldering is required and the necessary tools for assembly are provided.With this kit, not only can you get the coveted ARP sound that many legendary musicians have been using for over 50 years, but you can also assemble it with your own hands.
