Aside from Korg's Keystage, no one has been willing to go there, seemingly. Quality keybeds are reserved for flagships to push sales. The 12 is a beautiful beast that jumps that up 2 notches. Still, its hard to justify a $1000 controller that's attached to a $2-3K synth. One thing seems certain: that mechanism ain't cheap! Somewhere down the line, the 'mod matrix' for assigning what it does will probably become standardized enough to appear more often. Level 1 will be the simple basics, Level 2 a bit more and 3 will be like the one on the 12. The idea of using that to easily run whatever I'm using is a strong draw. -

Mmm, purdy! That fills a long-empty spot in the vintage emulation field. I'm going to drink in the site's demos for a while and cross-compare with YT demos of the real thing, but I'm a likely buyer. I get serious use from CA synths. My first thought: I want to run all of the pads through giant double reverbs and massage my Hearts O' Space gland for a while. Check out "Sounds of the Chroma Expanders" 14:07 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ha1WhAb5NA Its a stereo pair, no effects, just dry Chromas. That's the aroma of Serious Flagship. Since CA's version sensibly offers two, you can go to the same places. Yum.

Man, I told myself I was going to focus on banana format stuff and no more 1/8" Eurorack format, but that looks really nice...

I remember seeing the ads in Keyboard and a picture of the Odyssey on the Musicians Friend catalog. I really wanted one but ended up with the MiniMoog because it was available. In the late 70's you didn't have a lot of choices in a small rural town. Was very interested when this came out but reviews of the horrible touch pads scared me away. Wish it had more jacks for interfacing with the Behringer 2600. Still, maybe someday. Wonder how it compares to the Korg version? -
Carlo, you make that Oddy sound fabulous! I have a black-face Oddy and Axxe in my garage, have had both since the '80's, and both need new sliders, probably new caps, and a ton of cleaning. But hearing you play it made me feel nostalgic for that sound! Given the price of the Behringer, it'll probably be cheaper to just buy a new one than to fix mine. -

OT - just a comment on the original white face Oddy - I modified mine so I had an octave up/down switch. Also changed the pitch knob to one which had a notch sticking out so that I could curl my little finger round it and be confident that I could return it to the neutral position. And I managed to rewire the modulation slider on the first oscillator so that the second oscillator modulated too. It was all very ambitious of me, with not much real understanding of what I was doing, but it worked nicely. i hung onto it for years, only selling it off about 10 years ago. Nowadays I occasionally use the app on the iPad. It’s close enough for me.
