ARP ODYSSEi

Everything about this synth is great aside from there being no auv3 support.. I only use auv3 at this point so this synth is no longer used at all. Please consider updating it with auv3.. Audio units and Audiobus are such outdated garbage systems.

Altså heh.. 2 timer siden jeg lasta ned og er nå straks tom for strø. Tenkte den burde være bra til den prisen, men jeg trodde faktisk ikke at jeg ville bli så positivt overrasket over måten ting er lagt opp, lett å sette seg inn i, (umulig å rive seg ut av ;) har tweaket alt som er av parameters x100 og har følt meg som en gal vitenskapsmann samtidig som jeg har laget 12 egne preset som vil bli brukt. Har aldri vært borti dette som hardware, dog Korg er fantastisk på nostalgi fronten

this is one of the best synths on iPad. Incredible sounds and easy to program. So thick and lush.

I love everything about this instrument except for one huge (IMO) flaw, that being the lack of AUV3 support. That really needs to be fixed.

The ARP Odyssey was my first synth, back in 1978. As someone who had the original hardware, and used it for many years, I can report that this thing sounds great. All the switches and sliders do what they’re supposed to, and the bits that KORG added (effects & sequencer) are fabulous. But there are some serious problems, which I have requested fixes for, and have never been addressed. #1: the EQUAL/ANALOG switch. This has no business being there at all; all the ANALOG setting does is simulate an out-of-calibration Odyssey. This is not “the unique character of the Odyssey”, it’s a flaw, which I spent considerable $$ to keep in adjustment while I had my Odyssey. In itself, this is not a problem; I just leave that switch on EQUAL. But that switch does not exist in the Lexington gadget, and it is locked into the ANALOG mode, with the result that any 2-oscillator sounds are progressively more out of tune the further you get from the center of the keyboard. #2: NO MIDI Program change capability. #3 NO AUv3 capability. If this stuff ever gets fixed, I’ll change my rating to 5 stars immediately. In the meantime I’ll try to make do. It still sounds fantastic… UPDATE 4/3/2024: We just got the AUv3 update for Korg’s iM1, which is fantastic, and I am hopeful the ARP ODYSSEi will also get this update soon. Also hopefully my other issues mentioned above will be fixed. In the meantime, the ARP ODYSSEi is still a brilliant recreation of my all-time favorite synthesizer; I’m looking forward to using it much more, both within Gadget, and as an AUv3. Thanks, Korg!!!

Love the sound of the ARP ODYSSEi with it’s faithful re-creation of the ARP SEQUENCER but it’s high time KORG gives this beauty AUv3 support so we can plug it into a real DAW.

Korg, there are independent players that do a better job of designing apps on iOS than you do - honestly this is kind of embarrassing. I love these apps but it’s 2024 practically - ain’t no way I’m not gonna complain about the obsolete state of audio transmission that these substantially expensive apps have. Sorry, but if you’re looking for a serious synth this is probably not the best one to start with - unless you really want this specific korg model. No AUv3 support = not a serious app for musicians. Sorry, but it’s literally the truth.

Still waiting for MIDI Learn function

One of the best emulations out there. It’s time to make it compatible with the new DAWs coming on line that are turning iPad into serious music recording/production equipment.

my band uses this on several songs live and in studio. nuff said
