ARP Odyssey
£779
If you predicted that Korg would bring out a reissue of the ARP Odyssey before it was announced, we’re impressed. We certainly didn’t see this one coming.
Announced early last year and finally unveiled at this year’s NAMM trade show, the Odyssey is a painstaking recreation of the 1972 original. Launched as a rival to the Minimoog, the Odyssey remained in production until 1981, going through a number of tweaks over its lifespan. The Korg replica includes all three filter circuits from the three generations of Odyssey, allowing the user to switch between them at will for slightly different sounds.
Like the Korg MS-20 Mini, Korg’s Odyssey is slightly miniaturised, but it’s also updated slightly with the addition of modern standards including MIDI, an overdrive circuit and a headphone output. As for the sound, it’s just as funky and endearing as the original.
We were surprised by the reincarnation of the Odyssey, but already it’s got us itching for more. Korg, if you’re listening, how about a Solina or 2600 next?

Wow, so you can plug your guitar on ‘audio in’ and what comes out is the synth sound? Can the Moog Sub 37 do this? For midi sync, I would need midi connections right? Which is better Sub 37 or Pro 2?

First question Are you up to date with 2025/26 in regards to DJ experience in all formats, hence vinyl records education at events whether it be 100 or 1000 attendance and advice for multi genres in vinyl and digital mixing
They do differ In events
Not only in headphones advice but in the transition for mixes, different levels on a mixer
I feel this should be addressed more often for all ages esp up and coming DJs and in production as this is vital for all, not just digital mixing
Also,Consider countries outside the UK
No matter the economy! There is so much untapped gifted people with very little financially all over this planet
And like myself with 30 years experience DJLUSHNZ in New Zealand Spent 20 years in London until 4 years ago have noticed a growing divide in DJs and producer’s who just can’t and are so stubborn in reaching out to all this talent and their crews and promoter’s won’t budge on opening their hearts and acknowledging there is a heck of a lot to be improved on and not sticking to the same old line Up or safe bet
