Korg ARP Odyssey Module Rev. 1 – Duophonic Analog Synthesizer Module

Korg ARP Odyssey Module (Rev 1) is a classic analog synthesizer module that recreates the legendary sound of the original ARP Odyssey in a compact, keyboard‑less tabletop format. Designed for modern studio and stage use, this duophonic analog synth delivers the iconic rich tones, dynamic modulation, and expressive analog behavior that made the ARP Odyssey a defining instrument in electronic music history.

Legendary Analog Sound Reborn

The ARP Odyssey Module contains true analog circuitry faithfully reproducing the original ARP design under the supervision of the co‑founder of ARP Instruments. Its two voltage‑controlled oscillators and robust sound architecture produce warm basses, sharp leads, and distinctive filter tones that stand out in any mix. The Rev 1 model features the classic white panel and original filter characteristics for an authentic historic experience. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Duophonic Architecture & Expressive Controls

This module supports duophonic performance (two voices) while also functioning as a highly expressive monophonic synthesizer. The front panel includes proportional pitch control pads, modulation pads, and transpose positions spanning two octaves up or down, allowing nuanced pitch and modulation expression. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Classic ARP Synthesis Features

• True analog VCOs with sawtooth, square, and dynamic pulse waveforms
• Noise generator with white and pink noise types
• Portamento with adjustable speed for smooth legato transitions
• Extensive modulation sources including sample‑and‑hold and LFO
• Selectable low‑pass filters as on the original ARP design

Flexible Connectivity for Modern Setups

The ARP Odyssey Module integrates easily into modern music environments with MIDI In, USB MIDI (Type B), CV/Gate In/Out, and Trigger In/Out connections. Line audio outputs include a high‑level XLR and standard output jack, while a headphone output provides direct monitoring. External audio input lets you process external sound sources through the synth’s filters and modulation network. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Performance‑Ready Design

With its sturdy steel chassis and desktop form factor, this module fits seamlessly into studio racks, desktop setups, or live rigs. The Rev 1 edition captures the visual and sonic essence of the original ARP Odyssey while offering modern performance features such as MIDI pitch bend support. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
