ODDITY2

ODDITY2 - A METICULOUS EMULATION OF THE LEGENDARY ARP^® ODYSSEY AND SUCCESSOR TO THE MULTI-AWARD WINNING ODDITY

Oddity2 takes the character and operational architecture of 3 generations of a classic and via a wave of enhancements, transports its spirit into a new dimension.

While the duophonic and monophonic modes have been retained, Oddity2 now also offers a monophonic legato mode, plus a POLYPHONIC MODE. Everything from spiky and resonant textures to lush and warm pads sounds can either be programmed from Oddity2’s intuitive controls or simply dialled up via the 1000+ categorised patches.

Via three filter modes and an additional oscillator, Oddity2 can sound as versatile and punchy as its main rival, the Mini, back in the day. Furthermore, dedicated LFO & ADSR, called XLFO & XASDR respectively, for modulation of almost every parameter make it the most programmable one.

TOUR

XLFO & XADSR SECTION

This is where the classic is taken to a brand new level of sound design possibilities with independent LFOs and ADSRs (called XLFOs and XASDRs respectively) for most panel parameters.

FILTER & MIXER SECTION

Oddity2 sports the three filter types found in the original MKI, MKII and MKIII. Modelling of these was a critical part of the development process allowing Oddity2 to replicated the tones of each variant accurately.

SUB OSC, OSC 1 & OSC 2 CONTROLS

The OSC1 and OSC2 sections meticulously emulate the original as does the white and pink noise generator. We’ve added a SUB oscillator for those deep bass frequencies without compromising the dual VCOs.

LFO & S/H SECTION

The original LFO and Sample & Hold section can be greatly extended by use of the new XLFO and XADSR section (at he top of the UI) that provides a huge range of modulation permutations for most panel controls.

ENVELOPES & TRIGGERING

Two envelopes, ADSR and AR with with various routing options. New keyboard velocity controls for amplitude and filter.

SETTINGS SECTION

While the duophonic and monophonic modes have been retained, Oddity2 now also offers monophonic legato mode and full polyphony (max 32 voices).

DELAY & OUTPUT SECTIONS

Add width to your sound with Pan Spread and complement it with the Stereo Delay.

PATCH & MORPH CONTROLS

Quickly find the right sound from the 1000+ specially curated patches thanks to the 24 categorised banks of 64 patches. If you want to take your sound further, you can even morph two patches together.

UNRIVALLED PROGRAMMABILITY

In order to overcome the original instrument’s limitation of a single LFO, we’ve also added the ability to apply an additional LFO and ADSR to almost any of the main Oddity2 sliders, which gives the instrument almost unrivalled versatility and depth when it comes to sound design options.

Additional improvements over its predecessor include an on-board delay, spread or random pan modes, patch morphing via beats or seconds, program change recognition and implementation of the two octave transpose switch for dynamic real-time performances.

Put simply, Oddity2 further builds on the significance and lineage of the original hardware and software instruments, by taking its fundamental sonic character and, via a raft of carefully considered musical enhancements, transplants it into the hands of those musicians ready to take it to both familiar and new horizons.
