Description

The Essentials to Know About the Behringer ODYSSEY Synthesizer

  • 100% Analog Sound inspired by the iconic VCO, VCF, and VCA circuits of the 1970s, delivering a massive and immediate character.
  • Mono / Duo-Phonic with dual VCO for cutting leads, thick basses, and lively textures.
  • 32-step Sequencer with 64 slots + Arpeggiator for quick patterns in both studio and live settings.
  • Built-in Klark Teknik Effects (reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, pitch shifter, multi-effects) to finalize the sound without external gear.

A 1970s Classic Reimagined for Modern Setups

The Behringer ODYSSEY is an ultra-affordable tribute to the legendary ARP synthesizer of the 1970s, designed to recapture the "hands-on" spirit of vintage machines while integrating seamlessly into contemporary workflows. Its purely analog signal path and front panel controls reflect the philosophy of historic synths: shaping sound in real-time, by touch, without detours. The result is an expressive, vibrant instrument tailored for vintage-typical timbres as well as more modern sounds.

Who Is It For? An Expressive Synth for Studio, Stage, and Sound Creation

With its slider-rich interface and immediate response, the ODYSSEY targets both motivated beginners and experienced users seeking a true analog synth to manipulate. It excels in electro, techno, synthwave, pop, ambient, and sound design: sharp leads, punchy basses, modulation effects, sound effects, and hypnotic sequences. On stage, dedicated controls and pressure-sensitive buttons encourage expressive performance, while in the studio it connects easily via USB/MIDI.

Features and Innovations

The ODYSSEY is based on analog subtractive synthesis with 2 true analog oscillators and an architecture designed for modulation: sawtooth and square/pulse waveforms, pulse width modulation, and sinusoidal/square LFOs to animate the signal. The filter is especially versatile thanks to its 3 selectable VCF modes (MKI 2 poles 4023, MKII 4 poles 4035, MKIII 4 poles 4075), allowing a shift from a more open character to a tighter, more powerful response. The 32-step sequencer (with 64 memories) and arpeggiator multiply playing ideas, while the pink/white noise generator, Sample & Hold, and Lag processor provide an ideal playground for organic textures. To finalize the sound, the built-in Klark Teknik FX (reverb, chorus, flanger, delay, pitch shifter, multi-effects) add width, depth, and movement. Direct access is ensured by 35 sliders and 25 switches, complemented by 3 pressure-sensitive buttons dedicated to pitch and modulation for expressive control.
