Odessa : Amazing tone control

6 years ago

This is really a beautiful module with an incredible amount of control. Essentially you manipulate the occurrence and amplitude of different harmonics in a very playable way. They can all be externally modulated.

Some ideas if you're wondering what it can do: One of my favourite features is that the odd and even harmonics have separate outputs and this is really a genius move. By putting them out in stereo and modulating the Bank length the effect is a kind of sparkle that pans from left to right underneath the main tone.

It's fun to use the FM inputs with audible frequencies but also the Exp FM slider is just about smooth enough that, with a square LFO to modulate it, you can dial in a specific interval (with a bit of trial and error) and have your sequence move in a really melodic way.

Waiting for the Hel module to arrive so can't comment on how well they play together.
