Cherry Audio ODC-2800 review and sound demo: the polyphonic ARP Odyssey for your DAW - SYNTH ANATOMY

synthanatomy.com

Cherry Audio's ODC-2800 is a standout in the crowded field of ARP Odyssey emulations, packing impressive features and authentic sound. With polyphony, three oscillator setups, and multi-effects, it extends beyond the original hardware capabilities. The inclusion of all three classic filters is a nod to the Odyssey's history, though switching between them can be a bit noisy. Missing a sequencer, it compensates with a fun arpeggiator, offering solid playability and MIDI support. While some might prefer the GForce Oddity 3 for its sound, the ODC-2800's extensive options make it a compelling choice for synth enthusiasts seeking versatility at a reasonable price.

Keyboardist Gerald Woodruffe uses the Cherry Audio ODC 2800 Virtual Synthesizer Plug-in. In a video by Cherry Audio, Woodruffe stated, "As soon as I knew Mark Barton was working on this, I knew it was going to be sound perfection. What's so brilliant about this is the extra oscillator, the three fabulous lockable UIs, the fantastic effects section, and the expanded panel for it and the keys. Without a doubt, it's a real classic updated design that Alan Pearlman would be thrilled to have seen and heard." This confirms his use of the synthesizer.
