ARP Solus arrived yesterday at 3:30pm... Had it all working by 6:45pm

Not quite as versatile as the Oddy, but still sounds great, and apart from not being able to modulate VCO 1 on it's own (I've a few modifications ready to go) it can do Billy's lead with no problem

Can Somebody please send me the patch sheet if they have it for the lead sound in question.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Mike, email sent

Andy.

Can you send me one too (jouni@salo.bz)?

I just got Oddity on my mac and I'm looking for a decent midi controller keyboard. Any recommendations?

I contacted Jouni offline and shared that Billy was using a Novation Remote SL Compact 49 to control most of his leads.

Midge was using the Novation SL 61 as his main board.

Hi guys (first post)

Could I ask very nicely if someone could share either a patch sheet or an oddity preset (or both, different attempts and views are helpful) for that classic billy currie lead?

I can't believe I only just found this forum...

Hi atonyb!

Please email me!

Jesper

I got the patch sheet!

Do someone here still have the
patch I did for the Oditty?
I don`t have it myself anymore.

Can't remember whether you ever sent it to me Jesper, I'll have a look though...

Jesper has very kindly already sent me his patch sheet, but I wonder if anyone has an oddity preset knocking around?

You are welcome atonyb!

Well Flip, you said you tried it out
earlier in this thread!!!

He's quite old now and does tend to forget things.

Bah, still nowhere near the sound - It would help if i had an idea of what it sounded like pre-fx, so far i've only heard the performances - I dont know just how much work the FX do.

Has anyone got any examples of what it should sound like before you put it through distortion/flanger?

Earlier in this thread = 4 YEARS ago... Excuse me but I can't remember what I was doing YESTERDAY!

Probably don't have it unfortunately - I lost most of my emails 2 years ago.

So Mr Jesper - why don't you still have it?!!! :p

Hehehehehe...okay okay okay then Mr Phil..you are forgiven!

I don`t have it anymore myself because I sold
my Oddity some time ago.

Regarding the lead sound. My opinion is that
the FX (overdrive/distortion/flanger) doesn`t
give that "Oh My God Big Difference" - it adds
some drive, bite and colour to the sound.
And I don`t think that you absolutely have to use the flanger.
Through the years I´ve tried to program that
lead sound on several hardware synths I had
- I always came close, but it was never there 100%. When I finally made it on the Oddity, the result was really close. I guess what I´m trying to say is, that if you want that 100% authentic
lead sound then your best bet actually is the
Oddity (it`s pretty much better than the Prodyssey if you ask me).....or get an ARP.
I know that Andy (MosLotion) who is THE Arp
Expert here, and one of the best in the world,
got a lot of praise for the Alesis Micron/Ion
when talking about the leadsound emulation.
I´ve never tried it myself.

Spent a while trying to get this with my Odyssey and a Line 6 Pod last night. Came away frustrated.

Pah. Will try again today but, in the mean time, any patch sheets would be appreciated.

Thanks
David

Dave,

You have mail sunna!

Did we lose a bunch of posts from this thread when the site was rebuilt? I know I got this patch sheet from here.

Ah yes, I made that and posted it a few years ago. Billy told me that's how his Odyssey settings were. I believe I still have his instructions somewhere but no idea where I left them
