Common ARP ODYSSEY FSQ Questions
How do I sync the ARP ODYSSEY FSQ's sequencer to an external MIDI clock source like my DAW?
Navigate to the Global Settings menu and set the MIDI Clock Source to 'External'. Ensure your DAW is sending MIDI clock and that the ARP ODYSSEY FSQ's MIDI In port is correctly configured in your DAW's MIDI settings.
How do I save a Pattern I've created on the ARP ODYSSEY FSQ?
Press the 'Save' button, select an empty or desired memory location using the 'Memory Select' buttons, and then press 'Save' again to confirm. Remember that Patterns are saved independently of Presets/Kits.
What's the quickest way to transpose the ARP ODYSSEY FSQ's sequencer pattern up or down by an octave?
Hold the 'Transpose' button and use the octave up/down buttons to shift the sequence in octave increments; note the display for the current transposition value.
My ARP ODYSSEY FSQ is producing no sound, even though I'm playing the keyboard. What should I check?
First, verify that the 'Volume' knob isn't set to minimum and that the 'Audio Out' is properly connected to your mixer/interface; secondly, check the 'HPF Cutoff' and 'Resonance' knobs, as extreme settings can silence the output.
What is the 'Formant Sequencing' feature and how do I use it on the ARP ODYSSEY FSQ?
Formant Sequencing allows you to modulate the filter's resonance peaks according to a pre-defined or user-created sequence, accessible via the dedicated 'Formant Seq' section; Use the 'Formant' knobs to design the formant shapes and then activate the sequencer for dynamic tonal shifts.
