Common Korg ARP Odyssey Questions
How do I connect the ARP Odyssey to my DAW using MIDI and control it with my MIDI keyboard?
Connect the ARP Odyssey via USB or MIDI DIN cables to your interface. In your DAW, select the ARP Odyssey as a MIDI input and output device; you may need to configure MIDI channel settings on both the Odyssey and in your DAW for proper communication.
Can I save patches or sequences on the ARP Odyssey? If so, how?
No, the ARP Odyssey does not have patch memory for saving presets or sequences. You'll need to document your knob positions or use external sequencing and effects to recreate desired sounds.
How do I use the duophonic mode on the ARP Odyssey?
Engage duophonic mode by setting the switch on the front panel to 'DUO'. In this mode, the VCOs are split, allowing you to play two independent pitches simultaneously.
Why is there no sound coming from my ARP Odyssey, even though the power is on and I've connected it to an amplifier?
Ensure the VCA's gain is turned up, the filter cutoff is open enough to hear the oscillator tones, and the output volume knob is at an audible level. Also, check the ADSR or AR envelope settings to confirm the sound isn't being gated.
What are the differences between the three filter revisions (MkI, MkII, MkIII) offered on the ARP Odyssey, and how do I select between them?
The ARP Odyssey offers three filter revisions (MkI, MkII, and MkIII) that provide distinct tonal characteristics. Use the filter type switch on the front panel to select your desired revision; MkI is known for its aggressive sound, MkII for its bright sound, and MkIII for its smooth sound.
