KORG ARPODYSSEY-KIT FS Duophonic Synthesizer Kit
Become A Part Of The Legacy With The ARP Odyssey FS Kit.
Above all, with the Korg ARPODYSSEY-KIT, musicians are empowered to take the ARP legacy into their own hands.
ARPODYSSEY-KIT Rich Analog Sounds
The ARPODYSSEY-KIT uses the exact analog circuitry, preserving the original warm and rich sounds we’ve all grown to love. The kit also features all the original specs of the Rev. 3 model with a full-size keyboard. Also, it has a black panel design with orange lettering. Furthermore, to facilitate assembly of the Odyssey, use the pictorial guide.
Create It With Your Own Hands
In fact, the Korg ARPODYSSEY-KIT is a one-of-a-kind collectors’ instrument. To commemorate the unique experience of building it yourself, it distinguishes itself from any other ARP Odyssey. Also, it has its own serial number engraved into an elegant metal plate.
With this kit, you will be able to get the coveted ARP sound. Additionally, you will also be able to create it with your own hands.
A Full-Sized ARP ODYSSEY With A Standard Keyboard
Featuring a spacious panel layout with faders that are smooth to operate, and a standard-sized keyboard for excellent playability. Most of all, its weight and essence are the precise image of the original ARP Odyssey. In fact, with analog sound that has already established a firm reputation, it is fair to say that this is a true resurrection of the ARP ODYSSEY.
The ARP ODYSSEY is perfect in every area including sound, stability, appearance, and size.
The Distinctive Synthesis Of The ARP Odyssey
The original ARP Odyssey was a 2VCO duo-phonic instrument. Furthermore, its most distinctive feature was its sharp, penetrating sound and its rich range of tonal variation. Also, with a variety of functions and modulation possibilities provided by oscillator sync, sample & hold, pulse width modulation, high-pass filter, two types of envelope generator, and pitch bend using the PPC, it was able to create a versatile range of sounds.
The ARP Odyssey reproduces the sounds of these components at the circuit level.
Filters Of All Three Generations Are Provided
Broadly speaking, there were three versions of the original ARP Odyssey, divided by the date of production, with the major difference being the filter circuit. The ARP Odyssey provides all three of these different filter circuits, and allows you to select one of them with a single switch.
TYPE I (Rev1) is a 12 dB/Oct circuit that produces a sharp, punchy sound. TYPE II (Rev2) is a 24 dB/Oct filter with great-sounding lows. TYPE III (Rev3) maintains excellent stability even when resonance is raised. These distinctive filters are made just as they originally were.
About the Alan R. Pearlman Foundation & ARPODYSSEY-KIT
Alan R. Pearlman’s nickname was “ARP” as a kid growing up in New York City, so it seemed the perfect name for a company he co-founded when he was later designing electronic musical instruments. After leaving NASA, Pearlman Established ARP as an outlet for the creation of instruments known for their sound quality.
Pearlman created the ARP 2500 in 1970 and then the classic ARP Odyssey and ARP 2600. In fact, one of Pearlman’s key skills was that he was able to build oscillators that stayed in tune and even developed a cordless patching technique using a matrix of switches. Arp Instruments built a legacy as a great leader in the growth and development of the electronic musical market.
Founded in 2019, the Alan R. Pearlman Foundation was created by Dina Pearlman, Alan Pearlman’s daughter, to honour the legacy of her father. Specifically, the mission of the ARP Foundation is to celebrate Pearlman by making his inventions publicly accessible, and inspiring future generations to imagine and create.
