ARP ODYSSEY - External Audio

EXTERNAL
AUDIO INPUT
I^F^ERFACE JACKS
On
ihe
back of
your ODYSSEY
you will see a jack lahelad
"EXTERNAL AUDIO
INPUT.'
' This jack is used
to briftg
an externa]
signal,
such as the
output of an
Organ, electric
piano, other srynthesizciy,
etc.
, into the Audio Mixer
and
VCF In
your
ODYSSEY. The
EXTERNAL
AUDIO
INPUT has a fiKed
sensitivity.
The sensitivity
is Adequate
for
use with most electronic
instruments.
However, some
very low levej
signals, like dynamic::
micirophones
and
low
level guitar
pickups, may have
to
J>e
preamplified
before
entering
the ODYSSEY.
Many guitar amphfiem
have a separat*
preamp
output that can be used for
this
purpose.
Once an external
signal has been brought into the
ODYSSEY, it can be
processed
through the VCF, The
footpedal
is
especially
useful
in
processing
ejrtemal
signals
sinoe the VCF
can
be made to perform like a wah-wah
pedal, with adjustable range
and resonance.
Ac
the
same time you are
processing an external signal,
you can
also
add in signals from
the
VCO's and noise
generator, so it
is
possible
to create a rich and complex
texture
by combining both the
external
signal and a signal
generated
by the
ODYSSEY VCO's or
NOISE
GENERATOR,
and then fLlcering
the combined signal
with
the
VCF.
Your
ODYSSEY is one member of
a
whole family
of ARP
synthesizers and
synthesizer
accessories.
As
such, it is
equipped with input and
output
jacks that allow your
ODYSSEY
to
control other ARP
synthesizers or to be
controlled by other
ARPs.
For instance, you
can use two
ODYSSEYs together and
play both of them from one
keyboard.
Or
you can hook up your
ODYSSEY
to control
an AXXE, LITTLE
BROTHER, or 2600 model.
Similarly,
if
you
already
own a 2600 or
String
Ensemble, you can
remotely slave
your ODYSSEY lo the
2600's
keyboard.
The
possibilities created
by the ARP INTERFACE
JACKS
are endless.
If you wish
to
hook up two ODYSSEYs in a
nxaster-slave
telationship
where one
is controlled
by the other's
keyboard,
?imply
connect the
jacks labeled
"CV OUT,"
'•CV IN," "GATE
IN," and "TRIG [N'' jacks on the
Slave.
If
you wish to slave more
than
One ODYSSEY from
another, the
second
slave ODYSSEY
is hooked
up to the
first stave
in the same
way that
the first is hooked up to
the master, i.e.,
CV, GATE, and TRIG
OUT to CV,
GATE, and
TRIG IN, See diagram
on
the following
page.
Generally the Audio
Outputs of Little Brothers are
tx>nnacted
to
the input of some other unit.
