keybdwizrd - Oddity Demo #1 (softsynth)

[GNeuman]

Nice! An original Odyssey is about the only synth that I lust after, shame their build quality wasn't great, man those sliders.:-(

[sgtMaxCollin]

one of the sickest vst in the world and/or galaxy

[audiotrax2000]

I love this. It's one of my favorite vst's. It really does sound like my old ARP avatar (same synth). Also, because it's an early vst, it barely uses any cpu cycles. Nice and gritty!

[mpresev]

very good Michael

[haibertdude]

this is de plug in benny benassi uses

[metabog]

Pretty good synth, really captures that old Vangelis/Pink Floyd (i'm not sure any of these used the odyssey, though, I just mean the sound) analog feeling.

[teelistrill]

This looks soooo cool but I have two questions :D

Does this cost anything to download?

And can you sample songs from files on this program?

[keybdwizrd]

I don't know if you can download it, but you can buy it online, typically for about $99. Google.

This is a synthesizer - doesn't have anything to do with sampling songs.

[electrictrampz]

Really good work what do you run your soft synths into? AD/DA Converters it's all sounding nice and fat I have a similar home set up running presonus and a soundcraft ghost desk.

[keybdwizrd]

To make these videos I am using a Canopus ADVC-100 converter because it is a combination of audio and video.

[milano1919]

what's the host?

Logic Pro, Cubase?

[keybdwizrd]

Digital Performer.

[milano1919]

for mac?

[keybdwizrd]

Yes, Digital Performer is a Mac product.

[BLAZE45]

werr do u get it

[keybdwizrd]

Plenty of online music stores, like Musicians Friend.

[BLAZE45]

ah i see

[escobarstatus]

How are the gforce synths???

Worth buying????

[Straessers]

It is worth buying. The oddity is very good. Try out .... its a good investment. This demonstration shows not all the possibilities of this fantastic software synth

[escobarstatus]

I actually just bought it..If anyone has it,when i try to set my input for midi controller,its tells me that i cannot change me midi device....Therefore i cannot use it

[Straessers]

How do you use it ? Standalone or inside a sequenzer-software ?

[escobarstatus]

Both..

[huiuiuiui]

They are great. Minimonsta is still one of my favorite softsynths!

[armalyte]

it doesnt sound anything like a real mk2 or even the mk3.

[xwm77]

OMG........rich and great sounds!!!!! I'm looking 2 get this... where does the Oddity hook up 2 in your computer??????

[keybdwizrd]

The Oddity is a software instrument.

[xwm77]

where tohugh? (like USB, etc.)

[keybdwizrd]

I still don't understand. The Oddity is software - the sound can be routed to your soundcard or to any external audio interface you have connected to your computer. You play it using a MIDI keyboard, which can be connected to your computer via USB or a standard MIDI interface.

[DJSwayde]

If you're asking questions like that, I don't think you should be getting the software...

[synth64]

very good sound!!

[WARDISWARD]

the psp plugins are superb lexicon software replicas ...the oddity is cool too ( from G media)...

Check out the softsynths from a dutch manufacturer called 'Fabfilter ' ...ubelievable filters and synths ......check it out ...you won't regret it ....

[Hexfusion32]

You are truley the king of kings!!

Just love your way to play synths Michael

[drsuds]

sounds pretty good for a soft synth.. I don't think anything beats the virus tho

[Hobbs360]

wow thats a nice softie i gotta say

[rg2027x]

hi, what's that Lexicon-looking delay thingie underneath the Oddity on screen? is it part of software package? you demo some good sounds here.. That's the way to do it, just play the sounds, go thru patches so we can hear the synth & leave the talk-show yammering & 'verbal commentary" <yawn> to the more musically-challenged. Action speaks louder than words..

[keybdwizrd]

It's the PSP 84 from PSP Audioware.  I am using it as a digital delay on the Oddity.

I started making these videos - just playing the sounds - because I, too, was tired of demo videos (especially those from the manufacturers) that had too many people yammering. I just want to hear the damn thing! :)

[mkbigmoz]

lol...you are a funny guy man....

I hate when the demo guy goes onto a 10 minute rant about some trivial effect that 2 people will use

[searchme45]

I Have An Arp Odyssey no amp.

[xXiamerrorXx]

is this an older version of Reason?

[keybdwizrd]

No, I am not using Reason at all. Oddity is a standalone synth running as an Audio Unit inside Digital Performer.

[fetze]

I like the sound you use at 1:50 ; is that a Preset or your own creation ?

[keybdwizrd]

As I recall, it's a preset, but I may have tweaked it a bit.

[oticram]

Blop,Blop,Blop,

Whee,Whee,Whee,
