5. Betjeningsvejledning

The Behringer ODYSSEY is an analog synthesizer designed for sound creation and performance. Its intuitive layout allows for direct manipulation of sound parameters.

5.1 Oscillators (VCOs)

The ODYSSEY features two true analog Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) for generating core waveforms. Each VCO offers sawtooth, square/pulse with pulse-width modulation, and sine/square wave LFO options. Adjust the frequency, fine-tune, and pulse width controls to shape the initial sound.

5.2 Filters (VCFs)

Explore the 3-way multi-mode Voltage Controlled Filters (VCFs) to sculpt the timbre of your sound. These filters allow you to control the cutoff frequency and resonance, providing a wide range of tonal possibilities from subtle warmth to aggressive sweeps.

5.3 Envelope Generators (ADSR)

Two dedicated ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) envelope generators control the amplitude and filter modulation. Adjust these parameters to create dynamic sounds, from sharp percussive hits to long, evolving pads.

5.4 Sequencer og arpeggiator

The built-in 32-step sequencer allows you to program melodic patterns, while the arpeggiator generates rhythmic sequences from held notes. These tools enhance performance and composition capabilities.

5.5 Klark Teknik FX

Integrate the Klark Teknik FX processor to add professional-grade effects to your sound, enhancing depth and character.

7. Vedligeholdelse

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your synthesizer.

• Rensning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the synthesizer. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Opbevaring: Store the synthesizer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
• Beskyttelse: When not in use, cover the synthesizer to protect it from dust and debris.

8. Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your Behringer ODYSSEY, try the following basic troubleshooting steps:

• Ingen strøm: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the synthesizer and a working power outlet. Check the power switch position.
• Ingen lyd: Verify that audio cables are correctly connected to the output and your sound system. Check volume levels on both the synthesizer and your audio equipment. Ensure the VCA Gain is not set to zero.
• MIDI-problemer: Confirm MIDI cables are properly connected (MIDI OUT of controller to MIDI IN of synthesizer). Check MIDI channel settings on both devices.
• Kontroller, der ikke reagerer: Power cycle the unit. If issues persist, consult the full user manual or contact customer support.
