copperOdy synth update
Posted: Sat Sep 14, 2019 8:28 pm
Additional features and a few tweaks to my copperOdy synth (~ARP Odyssey re-imaged with a custom brushed copper panel and added functions that reflect many of the popular mods that are done to the hardware Odyssey).
Features from the original copperOdy that the hardware Odyssey didn't have:
- The VCOs' coarse freq controls can toggle to semitone-stepped.
- Each VCO has a -1 octave Sub Oscillator that can be Sine or Square.
- LFO has two additional speed ranges - x 0.1 and x 10.
- LFO has adjustable waveforms - Tri morphs to Saw or Ramp, Square to adjustable Pulse (pos or neg).
- Low Pass filter switchable 2-pole or 4-pole.
- Adjustable filter feedback.
- Separate Velocity control over EGs assigned to VCF and VCA.
- A dedicated sine LFO for Vibrato (through mod wheel) - 'disguised' as the Odyssey's Proportional Pitch controls.
Added for copperOdy II:
- VCOs' waveform output switches replaced with knobs that cross fade Saw thru Peak to Sine, and Pulse through Tri to Sine.
- LFO's waveform control replaced with separate controls for Square and Tri outputs.
- Most importantly, the lower switch positions of the modulation input selectors are now drop-downs to select any of the available mod sources. These switch positions are labeled red as a reminder, and turn yellow when changed from the default sources.
- Noise gen replaced with Martin's proper white and pink sources.
Here's a track made with just copperOdy II's predecessor, copperOdy_os, by someone calling themselves 'Freep Lugins' :
