	ARP Odyssey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ARP Odyssey was an analog synthesizer introduced in 1972.
		One potential appeal of the Odyssey is the fact that all parameters, including a resonant low-pass filter, a non-resonant high-pass filter, ADSR and AR envelopes, triangle (not sine) and square wave LFO and a sample-and-hold function, are editable with sliders and buttons on the front panel.
		Arp and Moog came to an amicable agreement and a small licensing fee was paid by ARP for units previously manufactured.

	ARP Odyssey
		The Odyssey was clearly derived from the 2600 and had two audio oscillators, a white/pink noise generator, a ring modulator, a resonant lowpass filter, a (non-resonant) highpass filter, an AR and an ADSR envelope, an LFO and a very flexible sample+hold unit which, more than anything, proved the Odyssey's modular heritage.
		You see, ARP had pretty much copied the famous Moog 'ladder' filter in their ARP4035 filter design and this was used in early versions of the the company's 2600 modular synth.
		ARP's market was dwindling under the onslaught of cheaper (but capable) synths from Roland, Yamaha and Korg as well as new models from old rivals Moog and whilst the competition were introducing new synths with ever more features and functionality, ARP were pretty much standing still.

	ARP2500
		Overview The ARP 2500 modular synthesizer was developed as direct competitor to Bob's Moog Modular, which had made such a massive impact in 1968 - 69 after "Switched on Bach" launched the analog synthesizer into the publics imagination.
		The ARP 2600 (1971) and Odyssey(1972) can trace their circuits back to 2500 modules, such as the Moog copy filter (4012 module) and the internal transistor clocks.
		For many years the ARP 2500 circuits were a mystery, and it is only recently that schematics have finally been located and made available on the web.

		The ARP 2600 was designed as an easy to use version of the 2500 aimed at schools and university music departments.
		The Odyssey had two syncable vco's and a dedicated low frequency oscillator which could be used as a pulse width modulation source.
		The Quadra was a cumbersome and expensive instrument developed at the end of the ARP companies existence.The Quadra was marketed to compete against a new generation of polyphonic synthesisers but was essentially a glossily packaged hybrid of an ARP Oni and a Solus.

	ARP Instruments, Inc. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		ARP Instruments, Inc. was an early electronic music company founded by Alan Robert Pearlman, best known for its line of synthesizers that emerged in the early 1970s.
		The ARP technician sent to install the unit, Phil Dodds, was cast as the musician who plays the alien tones on the synthesizer.

	ARP Odyssey
		ARP produced the Odyssey in response to the Minimoog, with the rivalry between Moog and ARP almost stage-managed.
		Rotary knobs on the Moog - sliders on the ARP.
		Indeed, the Odyssey's front panel could not be mistaken for a Moog instrument: it's a sea of minute switches and loosely calibrated sliders with plastic color-coded blobs the size of a Tic-Tacs.

	ARP Synthesizer Patents
		This is the patent for the two-voice ARP keyboards for the ARP 2500 and the 3620 keyboard for the ARP 2600.
		A very similiar circuit is used in the ARP Odyssey and the Moog 952 two-note keyboard for the Moog Modular.
		Later ARP models (such as the Odyssey II's and the 3620 2-note keyboards for the ARP 2600) used 2-bus keyboards supplying the control voltage and gate signals with the trigger signal being derived from the gate.

	Rhodes Chroma · The Rise and Fall of ARP
		Over the years, ARP produced a number of keyboards that were eagerly embraced by musicians, including the Odyssey, the Pro-Soloist, and the Omni, and one -- the 2600 -- that remains a classic.
		ARP had a promising first product, but it was entering a volatile and risky market in which it had no expertise.
		Instead, ARP embarked on the most ambitious and dangerous product-development project it had ever undertaken, one that intensified and underscored the rivalry within the executive committee.

	ARPFilters
		The core design was patented by ARP in 1976 and it appeared in the early white faced Odyssey, manufactured from 1974 - 1975.This filter has a very smooth behaviour, and unlike most 4-pole filters, does not attenuate the low end with increased resonance settings.
		ARP 4072 This is a 4-pole low pass filter based around a cascade of integrators.
		ARP 4075 This filter is nealy identical to the 4072, and it was the standard ARP filter in 1976 - 1977, appearing in the Mk3 Odyssey, Axxe, Omni, Avatar, Quadra, etc.

		The ARP 2500, whose most well-known appearance was in the motion picture Close Encounters of the Third Kind, was unique because it used a series of matrix switches instead of patchcables to define signal and voltage paths.
		The smaller ARP Odyssey synthesizer lacked patching capabilities but, thanks in part to its portability, became popular with many musicians.
		ARP folded shortly after releasing the ARP Avatar, a guitar synth which unfortunately didn't sell as well as they'd hoped.

		I'd strongly assume those modules are encapsulated like this because ARP "lended" the moog filter cascade, anyway it sounds a bit more "uncoloured" or less "typical moog" - some ppl say it is more "acoustic" in a way..
		ARP benötigt zum Auslösen des ADSR-ENV einen Triggerimpuls (kurzer Nadelimpuls 15 V), der den Hüllkurvenvorgang startet und einen Gate-Impuls (10 V), der letzendlich für die Dauer der Einschwingphase (Attack) und der primären Ausschwingphase (Decay) verantwortlich zeichnet.

		This gave rise to the Avatar, which in turn, was such a dud it practically sank the whole company before ARP finally sold off it's last and would-be greatest project - the Chroma - to CBS Musical Instruments.
		It has two oscillators and is very much like the ARP Odyssey in terms of its sounds, programming and interface.
		The Avatar makes a great alternative buy to the Odyssey since it is capable of all the same sounds that the Odyssey has provided for these artists and countless others.

		The Odyssey is first duophonic (ability to play two notes at the same time) synthesizer.
		A very popular keyboard for ARP, it was almost as popular with musical groups as the Minimoog.
		Also some of the earlier models have some of their circuitry encased in resin, a trick ARP used often in their earlier years to maintain temperature stability (or as some say, to guard trade secrets).

	I SATELLITE Vintage Analog Synths Moog Oberheim Sequential Roland ARP
		ARP 2600 (grey-face) - A nice sounding and great looking semi-modular synth, but I found it to be poorly constructed and a strange bulky shape that really didn't fit into my studio setup without taking up too much space (more like a suitcase than a synth).
		But even then, I found the white-faced ARP Odyssey could make a lot of the same basic sounds and for the money 2600's are going for these days ($2500+), the Odyssey was a much better bargain and much more compact.
		ARP Sequencer - Probably the best feature-laden hands-on analog sequencer I've ever had the pleasure of using, if it wasn't for the sliders and jacks that were so poorly constructed.

	Odyssey
		There were three versions of this synth: the first is colored white, and reportedly sounds the best because of the filter design (copied from Moog).

		In this picture, he is portrayed with a version 1 (white) Odyssey.

		I have a fl Odyssey with golden lettering for repair currently that has the new keyboard scanning electronics, the new filter and amp board, but the old oscillator board and a pitch bend knob.
