ARP ODYSSEY

Connecting a computer

Use a USB cable to directly connect the ODYSSEY to a computer that's equipped
with a USB port in order to receive MIDI messages in the same way as with the MIDI
connectors. (see "Connections" on page 14)
The MIDI messages that can be transmitted and received via the USB port are fixed
at 1; note messages (with velocity fixed at 64 for transmission, and ignored for
reception) can be transmitted and received.
The only MIDI messages that are transmitted are note messages transmitted
Tip:
when the keyboard is played. Messages such as PROPORTIONAL PITCH
CONTROL are not transmitted.
When connecting via USB, the KORG USB‐MIDI driver must be installed.
Tip:
Download the KORG USB‐MIDI driver from the Korg Web site ( http://www.
korg.com/ ), and then install it according to the instructions in the document
included with the driver.

About the MIDI implementation chart

The MIDI implementation chart lists the MIDI messages that can be transmitted and
received. When using a MIDI device, compare the MIDI implementation charts to
check that the MIDI messages are compatible.
Detailed MIDI specifications are provided under MIDI implementation. For more

Troubleshooting

Power won't turn on .
- Is the AC adapter connected correctly?
No sound .
- Try setting the panel controls to the settings described in the "Basic settings"
section (page 16).
- Is the ODYSSEY correctly connected to the input jack of your amp, mixer, or
headphones?
- Is your amp or mixer powered‐on, and is the volume raided on that device?
- Could the VCA level slider (red; page 11) or the VCA GAIN slider (black; page 10) be
set to "0"?
Does not respond to MIDI data sent from an external device .
- Is the MIDI cable or USB cable connected correctly? (see "Connections" on page 14)
- Does the MIDI channel of the data being sent from the external MIDI device match
the global MIDI channel of the ODYSSEY? (see "MIDI channel" on page 17)
Can't input sound from an external audio source .
- Is the source being correctly input to the rear panel EXT AUDIO INPUT jack?
