Behringer Odyssey Analog Synth w/ 37 Full-Size Keys, Dual VCOs & 3-Way Multi-Mode VCFs

Behringer's Odyssey is an affordable analogue synthesiser that channels the spirit of the 1970s ARP Odyssey – the gold standard of compact duophonic instruments. This 37-key controller pairs dual voltage-controlled oscillators with three-way multi-mode voltage-controlled filters, delivering the characterful, saturated tones synonymous with early synthesiser design. Unlike nostalgic reissues that simply recreate the past, Behringer has integrated modern conveniences: an arpeggiator, 32-step sequencer with 64 onboard storage locations, and Klark Teknik digital effects including reverb, chorus, flanging, delay, and pitch shifting.

The keyboard features 37 full-size, semi-weighted keys with velocity functionality, enabling expressive playing across two voices. Both oscillators generate sawtooth, square/pulse (with adjustable pulse-width modulation), and sine/square waveforms via low-frequency oscillator modulation. The 32-step sequencer allows real-time pattern programming and recall across 64 memory slots, whilst the built-in effects engine handles spatialisation and time-based processing. Construction quality is solid throughout, with authentic analogue signal paths that prioritise sonic character over digital convenience.

The dual-VCO duophonic architecture suits both standalone performance and integrated studio setups. Sequencer programming enables everything from repetitive arpeggiated phrases to evolving pad sequences, whilst the velocity-sensitive keys respond to touch dynamics for nuanced control. Whether exploring vintage synthesis techniques or layering analogue textures into contemporary production, the Odyssey rewards deep editing and experimentation.
