12 Classic MONO SYNTH Patches and Techniques!!

[@stevenbatke2475]

Mono synths are my favourite. And I’m really enjoying this Odyssey. They force you to be more melodic and creative, with their limitations.

[@TheUnperson]

Absolutely man, it makes you explore!

[@J_Carter]

I will likely never own this synth, but I learned tons about crafting sounds from watching. Thanks always for all the details included.

[@TheUnperson]

Glad you enjoyed it! Everything will work on any mono synth pretty much!

[@TheDavidPoole]

Last I looked, they were still pretty cheap (sub £400 new) for what is a real good quality synth. I've never really used the inbuilt FX in mine, but listening to someone else using them they sound alright. Might have to rethink.

[@holygeneration7]

@@TheDavidPoole He is not using the built FX here....just saying in case you didnt know.

[@peasantstudio2]

really fun to work through this at my grandmother with you man

[@TheUnperson]

Cheers man! And that's so cool that your grandmother is into synths too :P

[@willveda]

Awesome demo. I love my B-Odyssey and this video showed so many new sounds. Thanks.

[@sidetrackwalker]

I really enjoyed watching this. A great list with lots of truly classic sounds. It makes me want to re-explore my Odyssey thoroughly! And Square Blocks blew my mind, I have to try this out ASAP. Thanks!

[@TheUnperson]

I love square blocks! Lol

[@AnimalChinz]

your other video on the odyssey made me get one, thanks! Its the most fun since the td-3. Awesome stuff man, thanks again! :)

[@TheUnperson]

Glad you're enjoying it! It's still my fav mono synth :)

[@rickhopkinson]

WOW!! Made my mine up on getting one of these.... and also I totally agree with what you say at the start of the video about your thoughts on a one note at a time mono synth being..... well too limited... That's where I'm at now and it is so clearly NOT limited at all. Only my knowledge on mono synths is. Those coloured LEDS too!

[@craigturb]

That was really amazing. Fab video!

[@TheUnperson]

Cheers man!

[@dasarvy]

27:24 That's the sounds I like to play at 3 AM while my neighbours trying to sleep LOL

[@TheUnperson]

Haha I bet they love you lol

[@phill1830]

Very inspiring! Thanks for the tutorial.

[@TheUnperson]

cheers Phil!

[@JohnMcGFrance]

Loved this. Just my Odyssey and this will really help me get started. Thank you.

[@TheUnperson]

Cheers man! Hope you're enjoying the Odyssey!!

[@planetplex]

Absolutely love it! Thanks for this I’m such a newb at synth stuff even though I recognize all these sounds from various things growing up it was awesome to find out how these sounds were made. You know as I am watching these videos of yours I can’t help but be curious to hear more about you and your history with music. I hope you share more about that kind of stuff sometime!

[@TheUnperson]

so glad you enjoyed it dude! :D

[@jeremiefrancois6159]

Wow thanks a lot for your video, one of the most helpful to understant this beast I've just received! Clear and quick explanations!

[@TheUnperson]

glad you enjoyed it - cheers man!

[@62borneo]

Best tutorial on this Singh I’ve ever seen! I own this synth and hardly ever use it. You just made me to dig into it harder! Thanks mate!

[@TheUnperson]

cheers man! This synth definitely rewards exploration :D

[@hdsubstance1]

Excellent examples, making thing easy and usable, sometimes you don't have to over modulate or overwork things to get decent sounds.

[@TheUnperson]

Thank you! Yea a good sounding oscillator and filter can be all you need ☺️

[@jansonrawlings8169]

Got a lot from this video. I’ve had the Korg version for years and get around synthesizers pretty decently, but this particular synth has always been difficult for me to navigate for some odd reason. Thanks for making this

[@TheUnperson]

Thanks! Yea it’s an odd-ball for sure ~ I just love the way it sounds tho :)

[@barryjefferies3201]

I don't use my behringer Odyssey nearly as much as I should but when I do I always end up returning to 1 of your Odyssey jams as I think there the best out there 🎉😊 I even scawered Ebay for months trying to get my mitts on a behringer Time Machine "" after an Unbelievable patch you came up with in your other video, A Dark tremolo effected wobbling Drone that I simply can't replicate even after countless hours of trying 😢 Anyway,, Thanks for the inspirational vids 😊

[@TheUnperson]

Thanks for the lovely comment! There is a decent VST version of the Time Machine (which is a clone of the EHX Memory Man). The Arturia Memory Brigade.

[@barryjefferies3201]

@@TheUnperson Thanks Bro. I did manage to get a ,,Time Machine,, !!!!!

[@mr.zeitmaschine6878]

I love this synth so much

[@TheUnperson]

Me toooo ☺️

[@eddavenport1970]

Awesome....Thanks Ally for all the tips and info...great job. :)

[@TheUnperson]

cheers man!

[@nielshulgard3722]

Awesome, thanks for the video! The tune is Chameleon by Herbie Hancock

[@TheUnperson]

ahh thats the one! I'm listening to it now... synth sounds different than I remembered lol

[@nielshulgard3722]

@@TheUnperson I was thinking the same thing. When you played the part of the tune, I was like yeah this is the one, but on checking it out I also found it to be a bit different, haha

[@ashleyjones553]

incredible!! dream synth right there XD

[@TheDavidPoole]

I heard, I think it was The Wizard himself, a story that someone had bought a new MiniMoog and just gave it to him just because it was "broken" as far as the original owner was concerned, or at least useless as it was only monophonic. Wish I had friends like that 😂

[@TheUnperson]

I dream of this happening to me lol

[@angelocarbone6433]

Hey, really great video. I've had my Behringer Ody for a little while now and I keep inadvertently making more bad sounds than good ones! I think this video might fix that! Thank you.

[@TheUnperson]

Hahah that can easily happen with the Ody!

[@psywarltd.1984]

Excellent tutorial! You have a good understanding of the Odyssey and you make it sound great! Can you do a video about making good techno and ambient sequences with the Odyssey sequencer? I would appreciate it.

[@TheUnperson]

Thank you! I haven't done an Odyssey video in quite a while so I will likely do another one soon and will touch on sequencer :)

[@eliezerbrandao]

Awesome!

[@ignasgalbogis4598]

great vid, very Inspiring!

[@TheUnperson]

Cheers!

[@jansolarevic507]

thank you youtube man for teach for teach even mnore of synthgod

haha thank you!! :D

[@xpump876]

nice demo!

[@adrienmelchior8413]

Great video !!

[@TheUnperson]

cheers man!!

[@dvuemedia]

At the end you have made some nice sound effects! At 29:30 you could use that sound for some nice D'N'B!

[@TheUnperson]

nice idea! a cool way to get unique sounds! :)

[@Probbie]

Thanks so much 🙌

[@TheUnperson]

cheers! :D

[@AutoReport1]

A glockenspiel is a "bell play", a xylophone is a "wood sound".

[@TheUnperson]

Aha! That makes perfect sense then!

[@AutoReport1]

@@TheUnperson glockenspiels are sometimes referred to as metallophones, but this also includes more complex instruments like steel marimbas with resonators and vibraphonee with resonators, motors and sustain pedals. Marimbas are usually xylophones with resonators (gourds or pipes), but it's still a marimba even if it's not a xylophone (if it has stone, ceramic or metal bars). And of course a toy piano is a glockenspiel hidden inside a miniature piano body. If you're not going to balk at calling that a piano why wouldn't you call a toy glockenspiel a xylophone as well.

[@tomphillpotts]

I appreciate understanding sound design and how to get the sound you want. But for speed of production in the studio (and for live performance going through different tracks), patch memory is fantastic. Any suggestions from you for a synth with sound character like the odyssey but with patch memory?

[@TheUnperson]

Maybe the Korg Monologue or a Moog Sub25 might have a similar sound :)

[@kevingamache1512]

Great sounds Do you not like the onboard effects?

[@TheUnperson]

Cheers! I actually always forget about them. I remember the harmoniser being pretty cool 😎

[@kevingamache1512]

@@TheUnperson Right on I use some outboards too I remember that plastic odyssey back in the day. This Behringer is great and so was your video. Have a good one

[@АлексейЛ-д6х]

Can you please tell how you've made a sequence from intro jam? I try to use Arps for this kinda vibe, but can't quite get why my results are way more boring and don't sound as interesting.

[@TheUnperson]

For this type of jam I prefer to using a sequencer over an arp. Try copy the notes of my sequence and you’ll get similar results ☺️
