Korg ARP Odyssey - In Depth Review!

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

I have had one for almost 6 months. Love it. I used to play it in my local music store every week for months until I had enough to buy it cash. Glad to have it now. It's definitely a keeper

[@WilliamFeryll]

I see these two in a vid with a new synth - MUST WATCH!!!! I love these two presenters and the gear they demo. I could watch a whole channel like this. Please keep up the great work! Long live the synths!!!!

[@jamesapfairlie]

The original Dr Who theme was recorded in 1963, almost 10 years before the ARP odyssey came out, and Delia Derbyshire hated synths, so I don’t think it was used on the original. It was probably used on the Peter Howell version which was the theme in the late 70s/early 80s (end of Tom Baker through to Colin Baker). I don’t know much about synths, but I do know my Dr Who.

[@jamesahanington]

james fairlie there's a video on KZbin from the '80s where Peter Howell talks through and demonstrates how he recorded the '80s theme and the Arp plays a big part in it!

[@h-voltage]

Also there is a video about how Delia Derbyshire created the main melody with a utility oscillator and a tape machine :D

[@mrguillemot]

Totally agree...the Radiophonic Workshop recorded it long before the ARP O was out.

[@RCAvhstape]

IIRC she did it mostly by splicing samples on tape. Saw a documentary about that, amazing how much patience it must take to do that.

Top vibe. You guys are great, and it's a joy to see a brand rep really getting into it and having a laugh too. This format rocks.

[@OriginalDarkMark]

I don't own a keyboard, and I can't play keys, but I really get a lot from these videos. What was an alien subject is now approachable and enjoyable. I would, however, enjoy a bit more chat about crisps.

[@digitaldiezel5870]

I wish we all could have this much at work!!! Nice sounds!

[@longfade]

Ah, you guys are great. Tons of fun but always focused and informative. Excellent.

[@kramhoogness]

Jack is the best thing for selling synths. Perhaps the best thing on the internet. Great work!

[@typhonsdrummer]

Thank you for these fantastic and entertaining reviews. I live in the northwest US. I promise on my next trip to the UK, I'll stop by and buy stuff. Cheers.

[@nickynocknoo]

Had the Karp for a few months, it is fantabulous. Great vid guys.

[@derekfernandez7701]

I've been binging all these Jack and Luke vids! So good! Love them! 💙

[@MrRickyTee]

You guys are completely mad as a box of frogs!! hilarious!!!!

[@TheKeyboardGuy-f3c]

I look at your videos as if I’m watching a talk show. I listen to you guys everyday. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Mark_Williams300]

Have to correct Luke. The original Doctor Who theme was done using oscillators and tape loops of ¨found sounds¨. The ARP Odyssey didn't even exist in 1963. In fact the first Moog synth didn't come to market until 1964.

[@heuxheux]

it's so nice to see two synth lovers come along in such a hillarious manner.. very entertaining video. I don't think theres much to say about the Odyssey

[@guyvonlino3685]

Quel grand moment ! La vidéo dans laquelle ils présentent le MS-20 mini est terrible! Merci J & L ! GVL

[@yobhsiFehT]

HA! I love the shoutout to Nick in the PWM moment! lol Also, I want every friggin piece of gear on this "buffet" =| I'm a singer/guitar player first, but Korg makes at least half the things tempting me to go down the synth-y rabbit hole! ARP Odyssey chief among them! Keep up the great work!

[@anyme3046]

This seems like a Reese bass monster I like 👍

[@urssounds]

Love this presentation!!! And the Odyssey!!! ohhh!

[@jamesahanington]

Can't wait for the MS-20 video!! (I'm assuming there's gonna be one as it's off to the side...please?)

[@vrod2144]

these two are my favorite happy nerds

[@mikehydropneumatic2583]

Best review of a synth ever!

[@marcomizzoni8323]

Arp odyssey was used on Elton John Rocketman and NIN less than. Good examples to hear this beast in action.

[@compfox]

Listen to Gary Numan: On Broadway, Ulravox: Astradyne. Billy Currie played it best.

[@HotStrange]

Comp Fox Vincent Clarke did make great use of the Odyssey. And everything else he touched really.

[@danadams8649]

in the song dance the body music by osibisa also use the arp if any pimps are interested

[@InkyDaCaT]

Great keyboard! And brilliantly funny video😊

[@mercury8117]

Thinking of buying this. Is it made in Japan ? I was going to buy the behringer DM12 until i discovered it is made in China.

[@troublesomecorsair]

The module version is boss. 44 keys is the way to synth.

[@HotStrange]

troublesomecorsair like a Minimoog you mean? Haha

[@troublesomecorsair]

Yup. The DSI Pro2 or Vermona '14, for instance. It's a nifty length. The Odyssey FS would have been a bullseye but the keys are equally flimsy compared to the mini version. The module is superb, imo.

[@mcblahflooper94]

You misspelled Odyssey in the description

[@enricolongo242]

Serious stuff.

[@javiceres]

I’m torn between this and the MS20. Worlds apart sonically but both fat and tweakable

[@beeftheheat]

boy-why don't they promote the keys/drum dudes' vids more?

[@phillydam]

Lmao! I clicked on this so quickly
