Cherry Audio ODC 2800Cherry Audio's ODC 2800 is an exceptional three-in-one virtual instrument that pays tribute to the legendary synth pioneer Alan R. Pearlman on the momentous 100th anniversary of his birth. This powerful synthesizer plugin draws inspiration from the revolutionary Odyssey analog duophonic synthesizer, launched by ARP Instruments in 1972. With precision-crafted and circuit-modeled DSP designs from the award-winning developer Mark Barton, ODC 2800 goes beyond merely emulating ARP's "Model 2800" synthesizer. ODC 2800 not only provides an authentic reproduction of the sound and appearance of all three versions of the original hardware, but also enhances the experience with expanded polyphony, an additional oscillator and LFO, extensive modulation options, and support for both velocity and polyphonic aftertouch. Furthermore, it features a redesigned and intuitive integrated effects suite that simplifies the sound design process and improves usability. ODC 2800 offers the ultimate sonic journey through time, connecting the past of synthesis innovation with today's essential tools for music production. ODC 2800's user interface includes matching designs for Models 2800, 2810, and 2820. You can lock the design to your favorite, and hide a lower panel for the keyboard and effects, now easily accessible through a new tray. The duophonic architecture has been upgraded to support Monophonic, Mono Legato, Duophonic, and Polyphonic modes. Users can choose from 1, 4, 8, or 16 voices, along with a unison mode. The synth supports velocity, channel aftertouch, and polyphonic aftertouch with three assignable controls. It also includes adjustable portamento settings and a CS-80-like "smart portamento" for enhanced musicality. The syncable dynamic arpeggiator includes Swing, Chance, and Feel to add degrees of randomness and a human touch to arpeggiated patterns. ODC 2800 has also been expanded to include three complete VCOs with sawtooth and square/pulse waveforms, with quantizable frequency control and extended oscillator sync routing. Each VCO has three frequency modulators (FM), including an assignable modulator offering 35 source options. Ring modulation is straightforward, and cross-modulation is now possible through assignable FM menus. The LFO options have been significantly expanded, now featuring two separate LFOs with five waveforms and options for mono and poly modes, key reset, sync, pulse width, and delay. The Sample/Hold Mixer allows for assignable modulation of the VCF and VCA, with 35 predefined modulation sources. ODC 2800's VCF emulation features three filters: the Mk I 4023 (12 dB/Oct, 2-pole), the Mk II 4035 (24 dB/Oct, 4-pole ladder), and the Mk 4075 (24 dB/Oct, 4-pole cascade). Each offers lowpass, bandpass, and highpass responses, with optional gain compensation to prevent bass loss at high resonance. A separate highpass filter is also included. The envelopes have also been expanded, with two complete ADSR envelope generators with velocity control and trimmer-style drift controls for VCO, VCF, and EG to further emulate the analog vibe. ODC 2800 features a resourceful new effects strip with accessible controls for toggling effects, soloing tracks, and adjusting the dry/wet mix. Global controls allow for enabling all effects, changing the overall level, and expanding the stereo width. The expanded effects tray includes five studio-quality pedal-style options: Distortion/EQ, Dual Phaser, Flanger/Chorus, three Delays, and five Reverbs. ODC 2800 also includes comprehensive MIDI mapping for controllers, seamless DAW integration, and over 330 professional presets across 13 categories, making it an essential virtual instrument for vintage synth lovers and modern music producers. Features: All aspects of the classic ARP Instruments Odyssey synthesizers — the 1972 Mk I 2800 series, the 1975 Mk II 2810 series, and the 1978 Mk III 2820 series — have been meticulously replicated with precise detail. Additionally, ODC 2800 has been significantly enhanced with expanded functionality and modulation options, making it the ultimate expression of the legendary synth that inspired it. Award-winning synth designer Mark Barton's proprietary DSP coding perfectly reproduces every sonic nuance and response of the original synthesizers. Introduces a new look for Cherry Audio virtual instruments with the integration of an expandable panel for more immediate access to effects settings. Over 330 professionally-designed presets in 13 categories. Monophonic, Mono Legato, Duophonic, and Polyphonic modes with 1, 4, 8, or 16 voices, and unison. Three complete VCOs, each with sawtooth and square/pulse waveforms. VCO frequency with quantize options. Extended oscillator sync routing for VCO-2 to VCO-1 or VCO-3, and VCO-2 to VCO-1 or VCO-2. Three Frequency Modulators (FM) for each VCO, including an extra assignable modulator with 35 source options. Portamento with adjustable VCO-2 and VCO-3 delay settings. Smart portamento enhances polyphonic performance in a more musical fashion. Customizable options for PPC (Proportional Pitch Control) for Pitch Bend (+/-12 semitone range) and PPC modulation (+/-7 semitone range). Noise generator with white and pink, with additional violet and brown noise colors. Ring mod, and now cross-modulation between the VCOs possible through the assignable FM menus. Greatly expanded LFO options with two discrete LFOs, each with sine, triangle, square, sawtooth, and ramp waveforms, and options for mono or poly, key reset, and sync. Additional waveshaping options with pulse width and delay amount. Sample/Hold Mixer with assignable modulation sources. VCF filter emulation based on the three versions: Rev 1 4023 (12 dB/Oct, 2-pole) from the 2800; Rev 2 4035 (24 dB/Oct, 4-pole, ladder) from the 2810; and Rev 3 4075 (24 dB/Oct, 4-pole cascade) from the 2820. Highpass filter. Lowpass, bandpass, and highpass responses on all three VCFs. Selectable gain compensation on both 4-pole filters so you don't lose bass at high resonance. Adjustable VCA drive. Individually assignable modulation controls in the mixer for VCF and VCA with 35 possible sources. Two full ADSR Envelope Generators with velocity control. Trimmer-style Drift controls for VCO, VCF, and EG. Matching UI panel designs for Models 2800, 2810, and 2820 with UI lock option and hideable panel for keyboard and effects. Syncable dynamic arpeggiator with Swing, Chance, and Feel to add degrees of randomness to arpeggiated patterns in regular, order, or random play modes. Support for velocity, channel aftertouch, and polyphonic aftertouch with compatible USB/MIDI controllers. Three distinct assignable aftertouch controls with 24 destinations. New Effects panel with persistently accessible UI controls for on/off, solo, bipolar modulator amount slider, and dry/wet mix for each effect. Global FX on/off, level, and stereo expand. Integrated studio-quality pedal-style Effects: Distortion/EQ effect, Dual 4/8-stage Phaser, Flanger/Chorus, three Echo delays, and five Reverb types. Syncable discrete Effects Modulator (FX LFO) with ramp, saw, triangle, sine, square, and random waveforms and delay. Master Volume with Limiter, and Master Tune. Standalone virtual instrument and plug-in versions included. Super accurate DAW sync. Highly optimized coding for optimal performance with ultra-low CPU load. User-adjustable oversampling control. Complete MIDI control and DAW automation for all controls, with easy-to-use MIDI learn and mapping (Preset and Global). Cherry Audio's popular Focus zoom-in feature, as well as standard UI zoom and resize via drag. Complete documentation available directly online from the instrument or in downloadable PDF format.
