Common ARP ODYSSEY Questions
How do I connect the ARP ODYSSEY to my computer via MIDI and get it recognized in my DAW?
Connect the ARP ODYSSEY to your computer via USB. Ensure your DAW's MIDI settings are configured to recognize the ARP ODYSSEY as a MIDI input/output device, and that the correct MIDI channel is selected.
Can I save my patches or sequences on the Korg ARP ODYSSEY?
The ARP ODYSSEY doesn't have internal memory for storing presets or sequences. You'll need to manually document your knob positions or record sequences externally with a sequencer or DAW.
How do I switch between duophonic and monophonic modes on the ARP ODYSSEY?
The ARP ODYSSEY switches between monophonic and duophonic mode based on the number of keys pressed; play one key for monophonic and two for duophonic.
My ARP ODYSSEY is making a loud buzzing sound, even when no keys are pressed. What could be the issue?
This can be caused by a misconfigured Ring Modulator or Oscillator Sync. Check the settings for those sections on the front panel and ensure they are appropriately adjusted for your sound design.
What does the 'transpose' function on the ARP ODYSSEY do, and how do I use it effectively?
The transpose function shifts the overall pitch of the synthesizer up or down in semitone steps, useful for quickly changing the key of your sequence or sound; use the transpose knob near the keyboard to adjust the pitch offset.
