Back for another watch of this - wow, what a great review video! You are really good at these Jamie! I know you said that you weren't really into doing them, but you do them so well! You show the synth at it's best but don't shy away from it's failings either. A fabulous job!

excellent training and tour of the Odyssey. I've been so happy with it and it has soooo much to offer.

Of all the Odyssey videos, yours sounds the best and you get great tone the quickest

Thanks for the good overview. My Odyssey is arriving in a couple of days. :)

Great review. Nice to hear it used musically rather than just blips and beeps that so many synth reviews contain. I’m very tempted by this synth but it is big and I’ll have to see what space I’ve got when my new studio is up and running. Thank you.

Great to see you on the Odyssey again. I loved your tutorials on the Korg Odyssey so I expected your Behringer Odyssey run through to be very good and I'm not disappointed. I'm definitely getting one

I’m really enjoying your video review of the Behringer Odyssey. Very very informative! It has such awesome analog lead and bass sounds. I’ve always wanted an Odyssey ever since hearing how wonderfully George Duke and Tom Coster (from Santana) made them sound. I can’t wait to get one. It’s going to pair great with my Behringer Poly D. Both offer so much band for the buck! Thanks again for such a great video. Much respect from Queens, NY!!

Just want to say thank you for your videos! I am a guitar player and learned alot from your videos. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to seeing how you use the MS-20 clone coming up...

Great presentation Jamie. Keep them coming.

I think I've seen every Behringer Odyssey demo on here, but I really love this one. I placed my pre-order the very day it became available in the States, a few weeks ago. I'm afraid I'm gonna have to wait another month or so though; I don't think they're shipping here yet. Anyway, great presentation.

Just got mine in the mail a couple days ago and I absolutely love it. Built like a tank and way bigger than I thought it would be. The key action isn’t my favorite, but at least they’re full size. The built in effects are gorgeous.

Nice sound... My compliments for your review Greets from Rome

Mine arrives tomorrow!!! I can't wait. Almost everyone in the USA has a wait list through mid-December.

The saw wave on ARP synths has always been my favorite synth sound. Sure Moogs sounded smoooooooth but ARP had such character.

This thing sounds great and seems to be user friendly for programming patches...thanks Jamie for the review.

Wasn't planning on getting one of these, but yeah you've sold me on one Jamie!

Fab review mate, thanks

It's a beast!! Thanks Jamie!! Rix:)

A month ago I bought the wavestate and the Behr Odyssey They are both tons of fun This video is great and certainly helped my decisions Thanks

Sounds good, and I like the price. I like how it's bigger than then Karp also..

Great Job : just unboxed today . Now learning how too setup Head Room , with Mackie PA System with Sub . Dialing these two takes time and good cables !

Great Review, sounds excellent.

Great revaiew as always Jamie. If you are planning on making a few sounds to demo, any chance of some classic Billy Currie / Ultravox leads?

Best demo yet.. Sounds amazing.

Nice. Subbed and liked. Just few questions. Can you tempo sync the Odyssey straight up with the MIDI, or from the other inputs in the back? Or Can you for example plug it on external sequencer like the Korg SQ 1 and use tempo sync through the SQ 1s sync jack? My current setup is pretty much built around Korg Monologue, Korg Minilogue XD and Korg Electribe Sampler, which all are tempo synced via the sync jakcs.

This is just about the fattest, most beautiful sound I ve heard this year! This, the Moog One and the Moog Matriarch! I love it. I have a preorder in on the Wavestate, and the more I listen to it, the thinner it sounds. I think I’ll cancel that preorder and buy one of these!

Great review!

I'd like to thank you for producing this video. Before I watched it I would not have taken this instrument for serious. For me this was just another clone of the original. Now my opinion has completely changed. This is a perfect instrument for live performances (the illuminated faders are very welcome). Behringer has added some well-thought-out features, although the effects could have been more on the high-end.

Amazing Review.. I really had my sights on the MS-1 but after this review, there’s no question which one sounds better.. The Odyssey and the RD-8 will make a powerful combination.. Now, if only Behringer would get their S**T together...

how dos this compare to the novation bass station 2? (aside from it the BS2 focuses on mainly bass, obviously, but which delivers better quality sound? i believe they're only $100 apart.)

Since you’ve got experience with both the Korg and the Behringer. Did you notice a difference in sound?

Sounds really really nice. Will probably pick up one of these before the 2600. Depends on price I suppose. Cannot wait for Behringer's awesome looking 2500 modules! Man, they went all out on Arp clones: Odyssey, 2600, Cat (i'm counting it), 2500... very cool

Great job. Learned some things about mine.

Does the sequencer output notes from the MIDI out, or is it only key presses? How's the MIDI implementation in general? Any CCs output or accepted?

I don't understand why at the end of the video portamento makes no effect, if it's at the top?

Can I please ask you for dimensions of Behringer Odyssey? Its not stated in any of the stores, or in the technical info!

21:41 nice save

What a great review in every way.

Excellent. I really want one of those babies.

Thanks this review was very informative, not necessarily cause I’m interested in owning one but because I’ve frankly never understood the fuss around ARP mono synths - this gave a great introduction to their sonic capabilities.

What do we say kids................THANK YOU ULI BEHRINGER! Don't forget about Jamie..........THANK YOU JAMIE!

@21:00 almost 'time out for fun'😁

I notice a bit of gain noise when my Odyssey's FX section is turned on. I was curious if you have noticed this as well.

The Behringer definitely seems to win on features, but which one would you say sounds better overall?

Would be interesting if you could make a synthesizer masterclass... :)

Great review many thanks. Glad i cancelled the ms 1 and preordered this. Quite a beast.

Would you recommend the odyssey or the wavestate?

It has been driving me crazy on how to get my BOdyssey to be fully monophonic instead of duophonic. Thanks for the cv in to cv out patch cable suggestion!

Patches Book, please!! Your Prophet6 and System8 patches are the best, so far.

Great vid. Question, does the Arp/sequencer have a latch mode?

Just got one it’s great

My odyssey is always making an annoying popping sound when pressing the key. Also after recording, it is clearly hearable when you turn the oscillators volume down, then it's only making the popping noice.. always being affected by speed and filter when replaying a record. otherwise on every key press :/ can anybody help please?

Thanks for the play through, Jamie. The effects being mono is kind of disappointing...don't know why they would limit it like that. Other than that the Odyssey sounds great. I like the multiple filters.

I have the Neutron and can't find a benefit to having the Odyssey too. Both duo phonic, both 3340 VCO, filters, envelopes are the same. Neutron just gives you crazy patching abilities. The sliders are nice though. Thanks for the excellent walk through GEOSynths.

Anybody compared this to the Arturia 2600v?

I got the VC340 and I am very impressed by Behringer. Now... I just want to explode my credit card... getting more and more...

I just ordered a Reon Driftbox R as I’m into the off the wall extremes of late, this looks very interesting for what it is, I do prefer sliders like on my SH 7 & Deepmind

Well this made me think about the next purchase. If you could buy only this or MS01 what would get?

Don't have the Odyssey, but I was really impressed with the weight of my MS-1

This video explains all the things the manual fails to tell.

How do you think this compare to the korg version and does this have all the 3 filters also like the korg? I haven't checked the entire video yet, don't have time right now but would appreciate a response, thanks for the video.

There's no native switch between mono/duophonic? Need to use a cable? Seems odd.

Hi, the VCA gain produces a hold note, is it right? Or a deffect? Mine just got here and I am in doubt. Thanks.

maybe balance levels of your voice and the synth. when you play its like "bang!"

Starting at the 14:00 mark and up I was sold on this machine lol

How does the speed of the envelopes compare to the Korg? I tried the Korg version once and was disappointed by how slow the attack seemed even at its fastest setting but the envelope attack sounds fairly decent here e.g. at 19:32

@GEOSynths (James) have you had the chance to check the PolyD out? Thx for your videos!

Any idea how to switch off LOCAL?

@GEOSynths - do you still have this synth? I know you had to send it back for repair but was wondering about the long term reliability before I finally buy one 😊

Awesome synth

love that Evil B*stard sound!

The best berhinger synth in my opinion

16:50 or so is when I died and came back

I am a big fan of early Numan stuff and like to make my own demo's of his stuff. to this end I have a Fostex 4 track, a Voyager Minimoog Old School and a Karp keyboard. I also have the Behringer Model D, to get the grittier sounds of the Moog that the Voyager have removed from their models. This though is the first keyboard from Behringer that I think will be a flop! The Odyssey is such a niche market and the Karp connected to a master keyboard as mine is, such a better product. Sequencer? I have a dark time. Effects Roland analogue chorus and delay. Mr Uli has not paid a penny to ARP. KORG has. So I am going to wait for the Pro One or the CS80. For the extra couple of centimetres, for me it's not worth it.

Brilliant I doaht a dehringer odyssey 3 days ago I payed £355 witch is great for a synth that big

**starts to play 'Popcorn' then decides against it**

OMG, that thing is heavier than a MODX7 (8.1 vs. 7.4 kg)! Sold anyway.

Really love this. Any chance that you may do something similar with the Poly D? I still don't quite understand about signal flow between the different sections of the synth. Thank you!

Why don't they make poly synths that sound this good? I love the sounds of the Matriarch, Erebus, Poly D, Sub 37. Poly's just don't seem to get that beautiful warmth and dirt whilst still sounding smooth.

Mono effects ? Why Behringer, why ???

I really fancied one of these but there is no way of saving your patches and no presets I believe.

I think you are giving Nick over at Sonic State a good run for the money;). Brilliant

ive got original 1972 white odyssey it sounds amazin ill get 1 soon better than korg odyssey

THUNDERRRR

4:59 Popcorn!?

I have too much of everything but I need this too

Fabulous!!

anyone else have a constant drone issue or is this me being a twit? no the lfo repeat is not on

Well, crap. Just when you think you’ve got it beat, the GAS is back, full attack. Thanks a lot.

The Arp that it's copying didn't have a metal body, it was made from plastic back in the good old days. They weigh enough as it is.

I'm torn between this or the deepmind 12d. Love these old or old like synths. Great video.

Still, I would rather have the Neutron....nice synth though.

Blue LEDs....... WHY BERINGER?!!! WHYYYYYYY!!!

my washing machine is also made of metal.

The Barp blows the Karp out of the water. Behringer is destroying Korg in the cheap synths world

I'm not a player, so i still prefer korg module). Behringer may sound as good as korg, but it is a bit ugly, looks like frankenstein with cropped faceplate. Behringer needs a good designer for sure.

How hard can it be to offer stereo FX this day in age...pretty basic thing

best review most of vids garbage

I guess for this reason sinths are not for me. They all sound the same to me. I love the idea of carrying something compact, but the fact they all have the same basic bassy sounds, makes them boring to me.
