ARP ODYSSEY FSQ REV3 Duophonic Synthesizer with Step Sequencer Module

Duophonic Synthesizer with Step Sequencer Module

The ARP ODYSSEY FSQ REV3 is a limited edition duophonic synthesizer with a 37 full-size key keyboard, bundled with a KORG SQ-1.
The ARP ODYSSEY FSQ REV3 was introduced in 2017 as a faithful reissue of the original ARP ODYSSEY, with perfectly replicated analog sound and circuitry, a full-size chassis, and keyboard. It was assembled in Japan and available in small limited quantities, made using components that are now depleting.
For this occasion, the KORG SQ-1 Step Sequencer is included, also produced in a limited edition with the characteristic ARP colors: orange silkscreen printing on a black panel.
Two mini-patch cables are also included to start using the Sequencer and the synthesizer, connecting them via CV/GATE and immediately taking advantage of the infinite synthesis possibilities of the ODYSSEY.
The technical specifications of the ARP ODYSSEY FSQ REV3 are identical to those of the ARP ODYSSEY FS, with the only exception being the assembly location (ARP ODYSSEY FS assembled in New York, ARP ODYSSEY FSQ in Japan).
With the sole exception of the color finishes and the two included patch cables, the specifications of the KORG SQ-1 ARP are identical to those of the standard SQ-1.
