Oddity2

Oddity tries and completely nails the look and more importantly, the sound of the Arp Odyssey. The colored faux plastic tips on the sliders have even been reproduced. Interface wise Oddity is incredible, especially since it is in effect a model of a historic synthesizer.

Many do not remember the Arp synths the way they do the Moog but in their day they were the alternative, the Pepsi to Coca Cola, the Mac to PC. You get the idea.

Sound wise I sat there and remembered just how wonderful the Odyssey was. The character of the sound is different from Moog. It's a little thinner and more brittle. But it has features the Mini Moog didn't have.

The Oddity like it's namesake has the ability to play duophonically meaning you can create some interesting drone type leads. It was cutting edge in it's time and is still quite useful.

The filters sound great as does the sample and hold function. Need weird and wild sounds? This is one of the Oddity's best suits. The S&H is part of the LFO section which too can create expressive timbres.

The Arp sound is unique and once you hear and play this VSTi you will come to appreciate how flexible it really was. The most important aspect though is the logic to making sound and the interface is flawless. The Odyssey was a reasonably easy to program synth. So is Oddity.

The sound quality is incredible. There are many less expensive sounding synths that try to do what Oddity does. They sounded good but compared to Oddity...well, there is no comparison. Even the dirt has a pristine quality that translates well in a mix.

It's impossible to convey one's emotions in words. When I looked at Oddity I thought, 'wow! if this sounds close to the Odyssey I'll be impressed'.

Well, I'm impressed.

The level of detail is astonishing. Try this synth out, it may initally seem different but it is based on a classic, one who's sound you will hear trying the excellent presets.

Highly recommended.
