| RESEARCH THIS PRODUCT: | ODDITY DESCRIPTION |
|
Astonishing Model Of the Classic ARP Odyssey! The GForce Oddity is modeled on the classic ARP Odyssey which was used by artists as diverse as Gary Numan, Herbie Hancock, Kraftwerk and Portishead. In much the same way as the M-Tron turned a whole new generation on to those sounds, we're certain the Oddity will do the same in terms of monophonic/duophonic synths. GForce Oddity at a Glance:
The GForce Oddity features two syncable oscillators - fully tunable across a six octave range, with sawtooth,sine, square and variable pulse width waveforms. White and pink noise. Monophonic or duophonic modes. Host syncable LFO. Ring modulator, Resonant lowpass filter, highpass filter. Sample & hold, portamento, two envelope generators and a wealth of modulation routing options. Further Oddity enhancements include velocity sensitivity, plus the famous Ohm Force patch-morphing and a unique "flying slider" feature whereby it's possible to grab faders with the mouse and throw them at varying speeds, recording these changes within your host application. The GUI also features a glissandi keyboard and all on-screen parameters can be simply mapped to external MIDI control. Much scientific analysis has been carried out to achieve this inspirational emulation of the classic mono/duophonic ARP Odyssey. Samples of the various Odyssey outputs were taken, with different settings, in order to understand the influence of each parameter on things like, the shape of the envelopes and filter responses etc. Also conducted were detailed analysis of the control paths (keyboard, LFO, etc) until finally there was enough information to model and code both the oscillators and filters. One of the most difficult tasks were things like the control signals which are quite strange. For example, each time a key is pressed, the envelopes and LFO are re-triggered. However if more than four keys are held, they aren't. Whether these things were a deliberate part of the original design is debatable, but in much the same way as the Mellotron's maximum note duration of eight seconds, it's this oddness that gives the original instrument bags of character, and these idiosyncrasies are faithfully included in The Oddity.
