ODsay is an ARP Odissey emulation.
The ARP Odissey is a two-oscillator analog synth, and was the one of the first synthesizers with duophonic capabilities (the ability to play two notes at the same time).
The ARP Odissey is a two-oscillator analog synth, and was the one of the first synthesizers with duophonic capabilities (the ability to play two notes at the same time).
- Switchable between sawtooth, square, and pulse waveforms with oscillator sync, a ring modulator, and pink or white noise.
- Pulse-width can be modulated manually or with the LFO or the ADSR envelope generator. There is a (static) high-pass filter, as well as a voltage controlled low-pass self-oscillating filter.
- The filter can be controlled by either of the two envelope generators, an ADSR (attack, decay, sustain, release) and a simple AR (attack, release) and modulated by the LFO, sample-and-hold, the keyboard, or a separate CV (pedal) input on the back panel.
- The Sample/Hold input mixer can be used to route the output of the VCOs to the FM input of VCO 2 and the VCF, enabling audio.

I update my grading, because I discovered how to make this VST respond to MIDI CCs. I discovered that it could respond to MIDI CCs if you edit the "MIDIcontrollers.txt" in the "00" folder of this VST. Some midi CCs for this synth : FilterCutoff=102; Reso=103; Osc1PWM=25; Osc2PWM=16;ADSRenvelope=73-71-70-72; ARenveloppe=119-97.
Please share how to edit the config file in order to enable output to midi when used as VST in a DAW like Cakewalk by Bandlab?
It is not for this synth to output midi, but to recieve midi CCs for it to respond to midi controllers. 1) paste odsay.dll in your VST folder (it is better to organize things by putting it in a subfolder like Elektrostudio Odyssey). 2) Run the plugin in any DAW at least one. 3) Close the DAW. 4) There is now, in the VST folder (and eventually Electro Odyssey) a new subfolder named 00 with a file named "MIDIcontrollers.txt" (make a backup) and start editting this text file by putting your midi CCs beside the synth's midi CCs. Voilà !

For me, this is the best free emulation of the Odissey. It sounds great, and there is quite a few nice presets. The only negative is that, as other Elektrostudio plugins, the midi learn does'nt work, so it cannot be controlled by CCs (I tried on various versions of FL Studio). The 3 or 4 other Oddisey emulations don't have midi learn, don't sound as good, and don't have as much good presets.
It's a winner for dinner !
Go to add at the top left and scan plugins and click the box next to the name after it finishes
Does it work on FL STUDIO 20 ? I downloaded this plugin? but the programm doesnt see it.

Brilliant analogue sounding synth!!

Sounds very much like a vintage analogue synthesizer!
I'm using it with Cubase 9.5 64bit without problems. Of course, I used JBridge for bridging it to 64bit witout any problem. No side effects or latency, runs as smooth as it can.

Elektrostudio have made some great stuff and I love the old Arps so to have this emu among my synths is awesome. Plays a treat and makes a nice noise!
Fabulous piece of freeware. Need a floydian sound... look no further. Wish the was a Mac port too.
I love it but with the new Cubase, you must forget 32-bit... :-(
You can try jBridge, it allows you to run 32-bit VSTs in 64-bit DAWs. It just might work.

Looking for that 70s retro sound.. this one will stay in my arsenal! Use with a bit of delay and wow, who needs the big boys? and girls?

Great & pretty complete Synth! Presets sound great, and you can tweak a lot!

This is the best ARP Odyssey emulation!
This is a real winner in my book! Some decent free Odyssey emulations out there, but the warm vintage sound, built in effects and duo function put this one at the top. Pink Floyd, Joe Walsh (Life's Been Good)...it's in here. Thanks Mr. Kryzwicky!

N�her an den 1970ern als alles andere. Leider ist die Polyphonie nur 2-stimmig ... (Closer to the 1970s than all the other stuff. It's a pity that it only offers "duo" instead of "poly" ...)
An oldie but a goodie.

Indeed, can't see any reason why I shouldn't reward this masterpiece with 5 stars. I like its retrosound so much, it can give you warmth and presence together. If you plug your soundcard to a good amplifier/speaker, swit�ch your monitor off and start playing on a real keyboard (i.e. not clicking with your mouse here and there) you can easily forget you are using a softsynth. I LOVE THIS MASTERPIECE!

Trying to use it through a MIDI sequencer named DOMINO, this VSTi's bank would be accidentally changed, keep sounding and cannot stop. Maybe the MIDI setting up process doesn't work properly inside this VSTi.Pity.

Sounds really good, but DO NOT USE THIS VST in cakewalk! It crashes the whole program.
After the upgrade to the cakewalk X1 has arrived so it works perfectly. A damn good VST instrument. I love it! A VST that you must have! A fantastic VST synth!
