In a weird turn-about (for me, anyway) I've discovered that, to get true analogue sounds, you need a genuine analogue synth - obvious I know, but I've priced this thing up and it comes in at a fraction of a second hand ARP2600, which I've based it on.
I think my emulation days are numbered!
Well, I've been at this thing for 5 weeks now... Yeah, I know it's sort of off topic, but I've been using it for the past few days, and it's WAY better than any Oddy emulator I own!
If CW had fixed the bugs, I wouldn't have been put into a situation where, to get true Odyssey sounds, I wouldn't have had to build this... but I'm glad I did!

I did seriously think about it... I may build a second and put it up on ebay, with a reserve of the actual cost of the beastie, and see what it goes for - that way, I wouldn't suffer any financial loss... It would be interesting to see if there was any interest.
It's taken about 5 weeks of work (an hour or two each night, 6/8 hours at weekends), but I can now understand why the Macbeth/Vostock et. al. costs so much... the components are cheap, but time

OK, new website:

Audio samples up (only a few at the 'mo), also seem to have created a bit of a stir here:

Your work is crazy ! good job... I really love the Prodyssey for the sounds you can get with whatever is your music style...
Remember that there was many ASB releases in a short time whereas the company (then called creamware) had some money problems. I personnally find amazing they could manage to launch so many products at the "same" time... Obviously, it was not easy to cope with the day-to-day problems. and gathering software and hardware is not the easiest way : bugs, supply problems, ... and key generation
! Only few things to fix actually... And for the price of 2 or 3 vstis you can get a hardware myth...

You might try tossing an email at InDSP about the ASB bugs as well.

Does the prodyssey have a button you hold down so you can line up the sliders to the Matching leds of a preset without the sound jumping when the faders are touched???
I thought I saw that somewheres....
