Exploring Odessa 

Dont Worry

I thought it was an Odessa glitch filter.

Thank you for streaming!

Hey Matthew! Glad you got to try it out! It's by far the most unique sounding VCO I own right now, so many nice and sometimes weird tones.

I found this channel recently and I am playing these awesome ambiances at my d&d table, and I thought, well I would love to have the soundtracks made by you Matt as they are just so powerfully immersive, throwing you into the unknowns of an distant world. Thank you to the both of you !

Thanks! I probably wont do any more demos exclusive to Odessa, although I did another for Instagram. My rack is tied up for the next performance. Odessa and Mimeophon are really great modules though :)

Thanks, Cameron :)

Thanks, substan! I've only used additive synthesis in software before, but always liked it. Odessa really fills a timbre void in my rack, very pleased with it!

Awesome, have fun with it!

That's really nice to hear, thank you so much Briana!

Thanks, man. Appreciate it :) I sold my Odessa long ago, but it was very good at those certain sounds it's capable of!

Hope you enjoy it :)

I've had Batumi since the early days of getting into eurorack, I can definitely recommend that! I've had/used a bunch of their modules, none of them disappoint.

Hey Matthew! Yeah I have that too, it gets quite a bit of use. Gorgeous sounding phaser!

@@stateazure Very satisfying on many levels with a complexity that demands attention. Thank you ✌️

BIG THX :)

Thanks! Yes that's the Belgrad next to Odessa, although I didn't use it in this demo. It has a kind of built in LP filter called Tilt which will remove higher end partials, so it wasn't really necessary to use it. Odessa certainly has some lovely sounds!

Haha, thanks Spencer.

Thanks, John. The only sound coming from Odessa at the beginning is the low sine wave you here, all the background textures were probably a reel I made for Morphagene using synths in the DAW. I've never tried Odessa for chords as I don't own the expander for it, but as a single voice VCO it's great for sharp/metallic sounds

@@stateazure Ah thanks. I did wonder. That's helpful.

And Natural Gate, but I think it’s pretty obvious when the NG is being utilised. At the beginning the lpgs are fully open.

@@stateazure What do you use for Sequencing? Is that a Metropolis? Theres no multitracking in your DAW? Just the Odessa?

@@resonanzfilter6997 I was using the Vector to sequence Odessa. No multi-tracking. There is a background texture loop, it's just something I recorded into my Ditto as I like to test modules in a performance context.

Unfortunately not, it jumps and cuts too much due to my internet dropping out during the stream. On a positive note though, this was a patch in progress, so I'll do another similar live stream to this in about a week's time and record the audio during that. If no major issues, I'll upload that as a single-track album instead :)

@@stateazure I am very happy to hear that and all the best for you.

Thank you! I'm loving it so far, my rack is full of stuff for warm tones, analog stuff and wavetable, but it was really missing something like this. It's capable of some great crystalline, glassy and metallic but also some fairly warm stuff in the mid range with some Tilt dialled down and also does percussion really well. I uncovered a lot of very unique sounds too, which my rack has not been capable of until now and so many sweet spots I found during this little demo. Definitely has a very large range of sounds! For bass I've not been so impressed though, but that doesn't bother me.

That's the stereo delay, think it's set to ping-pong 8th (or 16th)dotted on the left side, probably a straight 8th/16th on the on the right. I use that kind of delay a lot on sequences.

@@stateazure Thanks for the answer my dude. Were you using the Odessa in stereo? The delay gain staging is absolutely perfect as well, almost seems to feel like part of the sound. I can never get my delays to sound that good :) They never feel part of it if you know what I mean.

Thanks. Background texture is the Waldorf Quantum

Bass from Pro-1

Thank u

Hmm..not sure how to take that!

The moderne Klaus Schulze tone. :-)
