Table of specific ARP Odyssey moments
Tracks and links of specific moments where the Odyssey can be seen / heard
| Artist | Track | Year | Notes & Reference | Media | |
| ARP Analog Synth Jazz Band | Take The A Train | 1980 | ‘Tap Dancer Getting Shot’. A TV spot featuring nine ARP synths, introduced by one a presenter in that ‘incredulous’ style, like they’ve never seen a piece of technology before. | arpsynth.com | YouTube |
| Chick Corea | Space Circus | 1974 | Trading licks with Bill Connors: | YouTube | YouTube |
| Deep Purple | Space Truckin’ (Live) | 1974 | Jon Lord lets rip on the Odyssey during this 15 minute classic Deep Purple jam. | YouTube | YouTube |
| George Duke | Cora Joberge | 1974 | Album: Feel. Synth Lead (28s). "Frank Zappa told me one day that I should play synthesizers. It was as simple as that! I finally settled on an ARP Odyssey purely to be different from Jan Hammer, who was playing the Minimoog, and had a head start on me in the mastery of synthesis. I was really drawn to the possibilities inherent therein." | GeorgeDuke.com | YouTube |
| Herbie Hancock | Chameleon | 1973 | Here he playing the Odyssey live (from 6:00): https://youtu.be/0hmVHhH96es?t=330. | ArpSynth.com | YouTube |
| Peter Howell | Doctor Who Theme | 1980 | Lead. This iconic TV programme has had its theme tune updated many times over the years; this was the version that regenerated (!) from the tape loop version by Delia Derbyshire. | ArpSynth.com | YouTube |
| Kraftwerk | Autobahn | 1981 | Duophonic chords at 6:50: Reference: Ernie Rideout, 'Keyboard Presents the Evolution of Dance Music' | Book Link | YouTube |
| Kraftwerk | The Robots | 1978 | Lead Melody (2:20). Generally believed to be the lead melody as is seen in the official video. This isn’t quite a rock solid guarantee that it was used on the actual recording (any stronger references happily received). | YouTube | YouTube |
| Nine Inch Nails | The Hand That Feeds | 2005 | Can be seen in the video too; Synth 1:38 | YouTube | YouTube |
| Gary Numan | Cars | 1979 | "I still like to use the ARP Odyssey because it has the best window-shaking bottom end of any synth." - Gary Numan | SOS 1986 | YouTube |
| Alberto Radius | America Good-Bye (album) | 1979 | Synthesizer – Luigi Tonet Album opens with some strong synthwork for the first 15 seconds! | Discogs | YouTube |
| Tito | Quetzalcoatl (album) | 1977 | "Synthesizer [Synthi AKS EMS, ARP Odyssey, Minimoog, Solina String Ensemble]. Prog Rock / Electronic / Experimental" | Discogs | YouTube |
| Ultravox! | Hiroshima Mon Amour (album version) | 1977 | Odyssey is seen being played in this Old Grey Whistle test at 3:03. | see Media clip >> | YouTube |
| Ultravox | Astradyne | 1982 | Solo (4:30) | [Need better proof - sounds like one though! | YouTube |
| Ultravox | Hymn | 1982 | "Solo (3:16). “The solo was done on Bill's ARP using the flanger with a Marshall Time Modulator and second oscillator switching octaves to give it our special sound for Ultravox.” - Midge Ure. | ARP synth. ArpSynth.com | YouTube |
| Ultravox | Just for a Moment | 1978 | "On the last song of the third (Ultravox) album I used an ARP sequencer to drive the Odyssey” - Billy Currie | SOS 1991 | YouTube |
| Ultravox (Billy Currie) | Quiet Men | 1980 | “I used an ARP sequencer to drive the Odyssey, which I'd already used in quite a violent way on pieces like 'The Quiet Man'. We wanted to make quite tough sounds, and often built up whole pieces from synth sounds used as rhythmic parts.” - Billy Currie. | SOS 1991 | YouTube |
| Stevie Wonder | Living In the City | 1973 | Live Video | YouTube | |
| Yellow Magic Orchestra | Thousand Knives | 1979 | "Bass & Lead (4:23). An Odyssey Rev2 and Rev3 are part of Ryuichi Sakamoto's setup. The synth solo in the second half of the song is played using the Odyssey Rev3's oscillator sync（4:23）, which is also frequently used for a lead sound in other songs. Haruomi Hosono's rig includes an Odyssey Rev2, which he uses for synth bass （0:45). | ArpSynth.com | YouTube |
