The Oddity is modelled on the classic ARP Odyssey synthesiser which was manufactured
between 1971 & 1976 and was used by artists as diverse as Gary Numan, Herbie Hancock,
Kraftwerk and Portishead. Its place in synth folklore is assured and deserved but due
to the small numbers produced, the chances of finding one in good working order for
less than a king's ransom is slim.

The Oddity takes all that was unique and great about this instrument and, thanks to
a painstaking emulative process, brings these qualities to an instrument of the 21st
century. Now you can finally have those famous Odyssey tones and the exclusive ARP
operational method married to reliable tuning, non-breakable sliders and, something
only dreamed about in the 1970's, memories.

In fact the Oddity takes the ability to store memories one step further and allows you
to morph between any of the saved patches within a bank. Simply pick a start patch,
a morphtime and a destination patch, and the Oddity will output some amazing and
inspirational sounds all of which can be recorded by your host sequencer. Additionally
the Oddity has a unique Flying Slider feature whereby you can grab one or more sliders
and throw them, recording their movements if desired.

Because the Oddity was created by Odyssey aficionados, as much of what gave the original
instrument its character and functionality was built-in too. For example, the way the
ring modulator and duophonic mode interact to create sublime aggressive tones was
carefully modelled, as was the effect the Lag Generator has on a keyboard triggered LFO
