ARP ODYSSEY ARP ODYSSEY Module

Connecting a computer

Use a USB cable to directly connect the ARP ODYSSEY to a computer that's equipped
with a USB port in order to receive MIDI messages in the same way as with the
MIDI connectors. (see "Connections" on page 14) The MIDI messages that can be
transmitted and received via the USB port are fixed at 1; note messages (with velocity
fixed at 64 for transmission, and ignored for reception) can be transmitted and received.
Since the ARP ODYSSEY Module has no keyboard, it cannot transmit note messages.
The ARP ODYSSEY Module can receive MIDI pitch bend messages (±2 semitones).
The only MIDI messages that are transmitted are note messages transmitted
Tip:
when the keyboard is played. Messages such as PROPORTIONAL PITCH
CONTROL are not transmitted.
When connecting via USB, the KORG USB‐MIDI driver must be installed.
Tip:
Download the KORG USB‐MIDI driver from the Korg Web site ( http://www.
korg.com/ ), and then install it according to the instructions in the document
included with the driver.

About the MIDI implementation chart

The MIDI implementation chart lists the MIDI messages that can be transmitted
and received. When using a MIDI device, compare the MIDI implementation charts
to check that the MIDI messages are compatible. You can download the MIDI
implementation chart for this device from the Korg website.
Detailed MIDI specifications are provided under MIDI implementation. For more

Troubleshooting

Power won't turn on .
‐ Is the AC adapter connected correctly?
No sound .
‐ Try setting the panel controls to the settings described in the "Basic settings"
section (page 16).
‐ Is the ARP ODYSSEY correctly connected to the input jack of your amp, mixer, or
headphones?
‐ Is your amp or mixer powered‐on, and is the volume raided on that device?
‐ Could the VCA level slider (red; page 11) or the VCA GAIN slider (black; page
10) be set to "0"?
Does not respond to MIDI data sent from an external device .
‐ Is the MIDI cable or USB cable connected correctly? (see "Connections" on page
14)
‐ Does the MIDI channel of the data being sent from the external MIDI device match
the global MIDI channel of the ARP ODYSSEY? (see "MIDI channel" on page 17)
Can't input sound from an external audio source .
‐ Is the source being correctly input to the rear panel EXT AUDIO INPUT jack?
Can't reset pitch bend on the ARP ODYSSEY Module .
‐ Pitch bend can be reset by receiving a MIDI message such as Reset All Controllers.
If you want to reset by operating this unit, you can turn the power off and on again,
or you can operate a MODE SWITCH to temporarily change the MIDI channel.
