ARP ODYSSEY FS REV3 37-Key Duophonic Synthesizer

37-key duophonic synthesizer

The ARP ODYSSEY FS REV3 is a 37-key duophonic synthesizer with the same dimensions as the original. This new model is built with particular care, showcasing great solidity, resulting in an instrument with great playability and a truly charismatic stage presence.
Just like the original version, and to maintain its original spirit, the ARP ODYSSEY FS REV3 is assembled in the United States. This new instrument features a spacious panel with smooth-action faders and a standard keyboard with great playability. This is the true re-edition, complete in all aspects, of this historic synthesizer, faithful to the original in every part in terms of sound, stability, appearance, and dimensions, but with the reliability of a modern instrument.
The ARP ODYSSEY FS REV3 is shipped worldwide after its assembly in New York, United States of America. The final assembly is skillfully and meticulously performed by a small team of expert technicians.
The ARP ODYSSEY FS REV3 is then finished and subjected to repeated tests to ensure the highest level of product quality, as befits the prestige imposed by the instrument's name. The soul of the ARP Odyssey re-emerges fully after forty years, with all its constructive quality and its distinctive analog sound.
The ARP ODYSSEY FS REV3 with a black panel and orange silkscreen is based on the original ARP ODYSSEY Model 2820-2823, produced from 1978 to 1981.
