• VCO 2 (01:45) - In this video, you'll continue looking at the Oscillators of the Odyssey by examining how VCO2 differs from VCO1.

• S&H (Sample & Hold) (03:51) - Discover what the functionality of the Sample & Hold section of the Odyssey does, including allowing you to modulate certain parameters to create interesting random modulation.

• The LFO (04:19) - In this video, you'll go through the parameters of the Low Frequency Oscillator and the controls that you can use to affect it on the Odyssey.

• The Filter Section (05:12) - Larry now goes over the parameters of the Filter section including Frequency, Resonance and the different Filter Modes available. You'll also learn about the High Pass Filter, Drive parameters and the Modulation options for the Filter which makes for very cool movement in your sound.

• The Amp Section (02:21) - In this video, Larry covers the VCA section of the Odyssey where you can set your output level. The Mixer section is also studied, and you'll learn the features which allow you to blend between your different sound sources to create cool patches.

• The FX (05:41) - Larry now goes through the Klark-Teknik FX section of the Odyssey and how you can program the 3 accessible parameters.

• The Arp / Sequencer Pt. 1 (04:39) - In this video, Larry covers the arpeggiator and how to program the sequencer using Keyboard mode, implementing Accents, Ratchets, Rests and Gate Time along the way.

• The Sequencer Pt. 2 (03:13) - Learn how to input notes using the Step Method, including adding Accents, Ratchets, Rests and alter the Gate Time. At the end of this video, you'll see how to alter a simple sequence using the live performance aspects of the Odyssey Sequencer.

• Sound Design Pt. 1 (06:37) - In this video, you'll see how to make a couple of Bass patches, firstly a Funk style bass patch and then a Wobbly style patch utilizing the Talkbox FX and LFO Modulation. Then Larry combines this with the Eventide Rose Delay pedal for some extra vibe!

• Sound Design Pt. 2 (10:01) - In this final video, Larry shows you how to create 2 FX patches, the first one using the Oscillator Sync option and the second using VCO 1 as a S&H Mod Source. Once again these sounds are routed through the Eventide Rose delay for even more depth.
