(EN) Step 3: Getting

started
OVERVIEW
This "getting started" guide will help you set up the
ODYSSEY analog synthesizer and briefly introduce
its capabilities.
CONNECTION
To connect the ODYSSEY to your system,
please consult the connection guide earlier in
this document.
Caution: If used, do not overload the
3.5 mm inputs. They can only accept
the correct level of voltages as shown in the
specification tables.
SOFTWARE SETUP
The ODYSSEY is a USB Class Compliant MIDI device,
and so no driver installation is required. The
ODYSSEY does not require any additional drivers to
work with Windows and MacOS.
HARDWARE SETUP
Make all the connections in your system.
Apply power to the ODYSSEY using the supplied
power adapter only. Ensure your sound system is
turned down. Turn on the rear panel power switch.
WARM UP TIME
We recommend leaving 15 minutes or more time
for the ODYSSEY to warm up before recording or live
performance. (Longer if it has been brought in from
the cold.) This will allow the precision analog circuits
time to reach their normal operating temperature
and tuned performance.
INITIAL SETUP
The following steps will help you get started making
sound with the ODYSSEY.
1. With the power off, connect a pair of
headphones, and turn down the rear panel
headphones knob.
2. In the AUDIO MIXER section, turn up the
VCO-1 fader, with its switch set to sawtooth
waveform. Turn down all the other faders.
(If all these faders are down, then there will
be no sources to listen to.)
3. In the VCF section, turn up the VCF FREQ
fader. (If the fader is down, then the cutoff
frequency of the low pass filter may be
too low.)
4. In the VCA section, turn up the VCA fader.
(If its switch is set to ADSR, then make sure to
initially turn up the D (decay) fader or the S
(sustain) fader.)
5. Turn on the ODYSSEY and play notes on
the keyboard, and adjust the rear panel
headphone knob for a comfortable
listening level.
6. If you hear no sound, hold SHIFT + <KYBD in
the Sequencer section, to make sure you are in
Keyboard mode and not Step mode. Check the
REC switch LED is Off.
AUDIO MIXER SECTION
The ODYSSEY has level faders for VCO-1, VCO-2,
and Noise. VCO-1 and VCO-2 can be sawtooth or
pulse waveforms. These three faders, and any
combination, can be adjusted to create an audio mix.
VCO-1 and VCO-2 SECTIONS
Adjust the FREQUENCY faders as you play, and you
will hear the frequency increase or decrease through
the various octaves.
Each VCO can be FM modulated either by the LFO
(pulse or sinewave) or the S/H or ADSR envelope.
The FM faders allow you to create just the right FM
modulation for each VCO.
Use the PULSE WIDTH fader to adjust the pulse
width. The MOD fader allows the pulse width
to be modulated by the LFO sinewave or the
ADSR Envelope.
SAMPLE and HOLD SECTION
The S/H can be used for random FM modulation
of VCO-1 and VCO-2, and the VCF. Look for the S/H
switches in each of these sections.
The S/H MIXER section allows you to make a mix
of the source used for the S/H, from VCO-1 (saw or
pulse), and Noise or VCO-2 pulse. Vary the faders and
listen to the effect.
If no S/H switches are selected, or their faders are
down, or if both S-H Mixer faders are down, then
there will be no effect.
Try switching the VCO-1 FM modulation switch to
S/H, with its fader up, and then increase the S/H
MIXER fader for VCO-1 (saw or pulse).
Try setting the S/H to trigger by the LFO, then adjust
the LFO frequency.
