The Odyssey is a two-oscillator analog synth (the Minimoog has 3 oscillators and its sound is considered "fatter"). The Odyssey was the first analog synth with duophonic capabilities, meaning it could play two notes at once. The Odyssey comes well equipped with all the tweakable features one might expect: resonant low pass filter, a non-resonant hi pass filter, ADSR envelopes, sine or square wave LFO and even a sample-and-hold function. It is a very professional and expressive machine that can create nice analog basses, interesting leads and great effects and sweeping sounds or noises.
