ARP Odyssey Rev2 Mini Analog Keyboard Synthesizer

Back in the 70s, this legendary duophonic beast powered iconic leads and basslines from artists like Herbie Hancock, its sharp, aggressive tone cutting through mixes like a laser. Korg's Rev2 Mini faithfully recreates that Rev2 24dB/oct lowpass filter with its fat lows and stability, all packed into a compact 5kg frame that's 86% the size of the original.

Two analog VCOs dish out sawtooth, square, and pulse waves with sync, ring mod, and PWM, plus white/pink noise for extra grit. Dual envelope generators—ADSR and AR—shape everything from VCF to VCA, while a powerful LFO, sample & hold, and new DRIVE switch unleash wild modulation and distortion. The 37 slimkeys lack velocity or aftertouch but feel playable with transpose for seven octaves, smooth sliders for tweaks, and unique PPC pads for pitch bend and vibrato. Patchbay CV/Gate/Trig I/O, MIDI/USB in, balanced XLR outs, and headphone jack make it modular-ready and stage-friendly.

Players love its authentic bite and hands-on workflow, though some wish for velocity on the mini keys—still, it's a staple for Odyssey fans chasing vintage vibe in a portable powerhouse.
