On Arp's own website, Engineer Ryota Hayashida recounts the provenance of D.A.F.'s Arp Odyssey Rev 2 (from Conny Plank, no less) and recreates the bassline from Der Mussolini:
"They were encouraged to use the ARP Odyssey by their producer, Conny Plank, through a bass amp, adding to the signature tone. The key to achieving this sound is to apply a very small amount of detune to the two VCOs, and add some of the overtones from the RING MOD circuit. High-pass filter is also applied. Some of you may be wondering why I would use a high-pass filter when I want a thick-sounding synth bass, but you should try using it aggressively to get the sound you want. Depeche Mode was also fond of this type of synth bass and used it frequently on their earlier material."
