Paul Hartnoll, Orbital on the ARP ODYSSEY 

he's slightly ahead of us in the future, like two and a half weeks ahead

Yep me too ...and as a result, I've just bought one :-)

@liantrosretrospectiva4134 Nothing less!

Klaus and those German musicians were the pioneers and definite masters of these Synths, a lot of the musicians that came after them were just the also rans and were here today gone tomorrow lightweight wannabes.

3:50 He gives you the “formula” =)

This guy really knows. Talent wins out. And unlike a lot of promo vids, you can tell he’s actually spent time MAKING MUSIC with the KARP Odyssey.

A Real OG

cuz you need to hear alot of the synth' parameters to one day have the muscle memory, making you capable of reaching places with the machine. There are certain edges and cliffs on synthesizer that make it sounds the way you want your synth to sound. only at that moment you can reach the intention of sonic yearning.

@@noordholland648 in other words practice more

Orbital is back together, according to the latest issue of MOJO Magazine.

I saw them live this month and it looks like they're working on a new album.

thanks Dimitar, you made me smile!

Check out their brand new album: Monsters Exist

Nothing apparently.

A soaring solo indeed

and he's using Ableton Live...

It's a modern re-issue, by Korg. Sonically it has more or less been found to be identical... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eUASXiJMnU4.html

Always delay, far more flexible than just reverb.

Dee Patrick I went with the Boss RE-20, it works with my ARP2600 nice without being so expensive. The Boss RE-20 Space Echo is a digital version of the Roland Space Echo, which isn't as good as the iconic analog Roland Space Echo, but it's very inexpensive in comparison and does also have reverb.

Search on 'Frequency Modulation synthesis' for tutorials/explanations. It's when you modify the tone coming out of an oscillator via modulation of the frequency as it produces a sound. This is contrasted with subtractive synthesis, which uses filters to modify the tone of an oscillator after the sound comes out.

Scott Boone ThAnks Scott that was a great explanation, an I can sort of understand. I appreciate it.

Scott Boone so it changes the sound frequency while it's being produced, instead of changing it after the sound is produced using a filter. I'm assuming which will cause a richer more intensive sound. probably why I loved one of my favorite electronic bands called ORBITAL. Because they produced such intensive frequency changes during their live shows I almost couldn't believe it.

Frequency Modulation Synthesis can produce a complex audible waveform. If you know how a low frequency oscillator modulates the pitch of an oscillator of audible frequency, the same occurs with FM, except that the frequency of the modulating oscillator is no longer Low. If you were to modulate a an audible oscillator' frequency with that of another audible oscillator running at the same frequency, the pitch would be rising and falling every waveform cycle for that audible oscillator. The effect is that you wouldn't really hear the rise and fall of pitch because it all happens within the span of a single cycle of that oscillator. Instead what happens is that the shape of the waveform is stretched and compressed very quickly in the space of one cycle causing a new waveform essentially. It is this new waveform that is the interesting aspect of FM because the waveform has a relationship not only to the frequency of the modulator but also to the modulation depth. Using simple sine wave oscillators, one for sound and one for modulating will produce a waveform of significant complexity and that's just with two sine waves -much much more complex than adding two sine wave oscillators together. I hope that description isn't too complicated.

Shit sound as DOPE as you could imagine

I happen to own both and I don't really see a point in comparing them. One is a 5kg wonderful thing to tweak your sound on the go. The other is four times the size with literally endless possibilites. ENDLESS. I think you're judgement on the MB is a bit harsh from spending time in a music store :)

Trip-E-O He said that you can't do it as easy as on the odyssey not that you can't at all

listening to half a sentence , oops we heard him!

👍🏻😂 Those fuckin' people.... it's a 1:1 clone with extras, but there's always some sausage-fingered mongoloid who claims to be able to hear the difference as clear as day, and shuns everyone for owning one. If only they spent a fraction of the time they normally spend lurking on gearslutz, *actually making music* they'd be just as broke and not famous as the rest of us!

Seriously, wtf are you talking about ?

Right. I thought I kinda understood it at first, but then I read it again and I'm lost.

Comment been removed for asking Wtf someone is talking about. The world is a gaping vagina.

+Jon Watkins Yes, it's unmistakably the Korg reissue, often refered to as the KARP. 1 of the dead giveaways is the 2 small toggleswitches near the VCF and output sections in the top right corner, for changing filter revision and VCA drive respectively - features the original didn't have. Also the 3rd revision with the orange and black colourscheme had protruding keys, the KARP reissue have a relatively deeper base chassis to protect the keys.

+Marc the Darc and the smaller kids.

And sometimes referred to as the KRAP Odyssey!

MisAnnThorpe no

I've been singing like a canary over the non-protruding keys since it came out. Singing louder now that the module is on the market. Haven't gotten either yet, but the module is almost self-oscillating at me. If I didn't already have six synths (two of them analog, one of them a modeling synth with a virtual patch matrix), I would already have one of these buggers in my rig.

no, an arp can sound like a moog model d, my ms20 cant do that... and the arp is way more flexible, but of course it could be cheaper

You cannot say is it better! I love my arp odyssey mk i too. Ms 20 have different capabilities. And it is 2nd best of. But Arp oscilators and modulations is make it the most modulations in a performance way then a modular could. You dont need modular, after Arp odyssey..it is pointless.

ray ramon the arp is easier to program.

And, the module is cheaper.
