It's exciting that it's so faithful to the originals - the only feature I wish I had in my old Rev. 3 is the multiple filter selection. I also love that they didn't try to force in the old knob control for pitch bend from the original Rev. 1 because once I got used to the pads they work pretty well. I think the rubber piece is a little looser in the reissue. Makes me really happy to see this synth celebrated and I'm glad we get to enjoy this old tech as if it was brand new!

This may not be relevant for your controller but may help a few people out there with regard to the annoying note priority issue: I'm waiting on the Odyssey module but I have the 2600M for a while and the low-note priority drove me crazy. I'm using a Keystep 37 as a controller and I realised that if I use chord mode on the controller to manually select a single note as my "chord" then any key press automatically overrides the lower (or higher) note and thus plays just like most modern synthesisers even if you're holding a lower key and hitting something higher. This should be exactly the same with the Odyssey as the controller is always sending the last MIDI note that is triggered. I assume that any MIDI controller that allows you to set your own one-key chords will give the same results so do play around with yours if you think this is an option :)

The only other thing I regret selling as much was the Roland SH-101 when I was a teenager, especially because it cost me £100. But apart from the relative value, I'd take an Odyssey over an SH-101, most of the time. Maybe the the original MFB Tanzbar, though drum machines are a bit more functional.

Less so that the core sound is identical, way less important.

Jorb, did you do any post processing after recording? I bought a keyboard version Korg ARP Odyssey in 2016 and quickly determined the tone did not resemble any vintage Odyssey I had ever played. The new model almost sounded like software, especially in the midrange. The vintage ones were pitch drifty, the brass very distinct, the ringmod potentially very aggressive and low resonant sounds had a nice pleasnt midrange. Most importantly the vintage compelled one to perform. This new one feels like work to get a lively sound to make music with or even get freaky-deeky. I've about given up on it, but was wondering if you did anything else to the signal. Maybe not all Korg models sound the same.
