Odyssey Black Friday pricing runs 77% off, $34, until Nov 26, 2026, on a synth plugin from AIR Music Technology, developed by WayOutWare and built on the ARP Odyssey.
WayOutWare also made timeWARP2600 and Kick Axe. The maker says timeWARP was the only ARP 2600 emulation endorsed by its creator, Alan R. Pearlman.
Odyssey is the same team's take on the ARP Odyssey. The maker says circuit modelling and signal processing capture the behaviour, character and charm of the original.
The sound engine centres on dual oscillators, an LFO, Sample and Hold, ring modulation, and high-pass and low-pass filters. The oscillators and the filter are circuit modelled.
Play it mono, duo-phonic, or polyphonic with up to 4 simultaneous voices.
Expression pedal modulation, velocity and channel pressure are all supported. The plugin also includes a reproduction of the classic 1970s movable head tape delay.
The presets cover synth leads, ambient pads, drum percussion sounds and more. The maker says the extensive control layout lets you tweak and automate parameters for sound design of your own.
The Desktop Player app comes with the plugin purchase. Connect a MIDI controller by USB or Bluetooth and you can play the standalone version live.
Odyssey began as an Akai Professional MPC and Force exclusive. AIR then brought it to AU, VST and AAX, so it runs in your host or as a desktop app. Standalone projects can move into your host, or travel with MPC OS devices.
The interface can be scaled up or down to suit your screen. Presets can be saved and loaded from the plugin toolbar, including in the standalone app.
On Mac, it supports macOS 10.10 through macOS 12 Monterey, 64-bit only, and is native on Apple Silicon. You need an Intel Core i5 or i7 at 2.3GHz or higher, 4 GB RAM (8 GB recommended) and 1 GB of free disk space.
On Windows, it supports Windows 7 through Windows 11, 64-bit only. The processor, RAM and disk figures match the Mac list, and an ASIO sound driver is required.
Yes. The Odyssey Black Friday deal takes 77% off AIR Music Technology's synth plugin, bringing it to $34. The offer ends Nov 26, 2026.
Odyssey comes in VST, AU and AAX formats for use in your host. It also ships with the Desktop Player app for standalone use, and the maker says it began as an Akai Professional MPC and Force exclusive.
Odyssey offers three playing modes: a single-voice monosynth setup, a two-note duophonic setup, and full polyphony that handles as many as four notes at the same time. The sound engine has dual oscillators, an LFO, Sample and Hold, ring modulation, and high-pass and low-pass filters.
Odyssey comes with over 150 presets, including synth leads, ambient pads and drum percussion sounds. It also has a movable head tape delay, a touch interface, and the Desktop Player app for performing with a MIDI controller by USB or Bluetooth.
