I have had one for almost 6 months. Love it. I used to play it in my local music store every week for months until I had enough to buy it cash. Glad to have it now. It's definitely a keeper
I see these two in a vid with a new synth - MUST WATCH!!!! I love these two presenters and the gear they demo. I could watch a whole channel like this. Please keep up the great work! Long live the synths!!!!
I don't own a keyboard, and I can't play keys, but I really get a lot from these videos. What was an alien subject is now approachable and enjoyable. I would, however, enjoy a bit more chat about crisps.
The original Dr Who theme was recorded in 1963, almost 10 years before the ARP odyssey came out, and Delia Derbyshire hated synths, so I don’t think it was used on the original. It was probably used on the Peter Howell version which was the theme in the late 70s/early 80s (end of Tom Baker through to Colin Baker). I don’t know much about synths, but I do know my Dr Who.
james fairlie there's a video on RU-vid from the '80s where Peter Howell talks through and demonstrates how he recorded the '80s theme and the Arp plays a big part in it!
it's so nice to see two synth lovers come along in such a hillarious manner.. very entertaining video. I don't think theres much to say about the Odyssey
HA! I love the shoutout to Nick in the PWM moment! lol Also, I want every friggin piece of gear on this "buffet" =| I'm a singer/guitar player first, but Korg makes at least half the things tempting me to go down the synth-y rabbit hole! ARP Odyssey chief among them! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for these fantastic and entertaining reviews. I live in the northwest US. I promise on my next trip to the UK, I'll stop by and buy stuff. Cheers.
Have to correct Luke. The original Doctor Who theme was done using oscillators and tape loops of ¨found sounds¨. The ARP Odyssey didn't even exist in 1963. In fact the first Moog synth didn't come to market until 1964.
Yup. The DSI Pro2 or Vermona '14, for instance. It's a nifty length. The Odyssey FS would have been a bullseye but the keys are equally flimsy compared to the mini version. The module is superb, imo.
