Purchased.. thanks for the heads up!

 

It sounds very good, but is the guy resizable?
I want to buy it, but it's hard to work with such small guy / letters

 

I just downloaded and tested the demo. 1 pictures of the GUI is attached. Thanks Olymoonn for your question, because it is unfortunately true, the synth is not usable for sound design, because the GUI is unreadable and the plugin does not meet the most modern requirements. Oddity 2 is not scalable. Font and buttons too illegible.

 

Looks great/crisp on 1440p (and 1080p), but I'd imagine if you're on a 4k monitor, it probably is pretty tiny and possibly blurry at other resolutions. I do not see any way to change the GUI size, no.

 

Beat16 screenshot looks much better than reality. Unlike when you open the screenshot in your browser, this GUI occupy less than a third of the screen.
My video settings are very low, 1920x1080, on a 27' screen, even so it's impossible to work with it, not for hours of sound design. (Not to speak about using it on a laptop screen)

The Picture is from a 4K Monitor 3840 x 2100.

That's weird, because on my 1080p monitor (and on my 1440p), the text is really crisp looking and easy to read for me. And I use 27" monitors. I'm definitely not doubting what you're saying though, of course. I just wonder if it's some sort of setting...

Do you have font scaling turned up or anything? My 1080p monitor is set to 100%.. the 1440p is set to 125%. Some software doesn't do well with scaling.

It probably does only take up around 30% of the screen though. And I should also note, the text is pretty small, but it's just super clear (better than the screenshot Beat16 too, and better than any screenshot I was able to upload anywhere).

Sorry, I tried uploading an image, but it got compressed, so didn't really represent what I saw very well.

 

Well, I may not have expressed myself the right way.
Yes, the font is crisp, but it's too small. So unless I get much closer to my monitor than my natural position, i would get tired because of the degree of concentration I'd need to read the parameters.

 

Purchased, but GForce Software developers are lazy: for Windows VST, it remains as v1.0.0 (since 15 December 2014). Default GUI is near unreadable (too small) @ 1920x1080, even on 32" display, its GUI cannot be resized... This deal is amazing, fortunately (default prices from official website are abusive, IMHO).

 

Original Arp Odyssey MKII Model 2813

The original Odysseys have been used by ABBA, Bomb The Bass, Ultravox, Gary Numan, LTJ Bukem, Air, Tangerine Dream, 808 State, Apollo 440, Astral Projection, Chick Corea, George Duke, Josef Zawinul, Elton John, Jethro Tull, R.E.M. and Herbie Hancock.

 

Ahh, gotcha. Yah, it is a pretty tiny font, and an overall small UI. On my 1080p monitor, I'm OK with the size, but on my (main) 1440p monitor it's a fair bit smaller and would give me problems too. I can't imagine trying to look at it on a 4k monitor.

 

Another reason why I didn't bought it, even at that price, I see no update since so long that I can't believe they give a dam so the GUI will stay that way. And, given the normal price, I can imagine how much they would ask for the update, if they do it.

Even that patch system is out of date ..yes sounds goods but not better than the Korg one and then you see more

 

ARP Odyssey Synth (Analogue / Subtractive) Plugin by Korg
www.kvraudio.com/product/arp-odyssey-by-korg

 

The Gforce one sounds way better. Shame the GUI sucks. But consideering Gforce released terrific plugins with update GUI lately, I still bought for this small price worth it just for the sound, and updated fresh GUI will surely come at some point.

Unfortunately it's the only good ARP vst emulation, Korg and Arturia suck.

Same goes their Minimonsta, still the old GUI, but dope Moog Mini sound emulation.

 

I use both (Korg and GForce). I love both. And no, Korg's Odyssey doesn't suck. But yes, I have a little preference for the sounds of GForce's Odyssey.

And yes, all the first plugins from GForce would deserve updates, for their GUIs but also for other purposes (a better preset browser, a better exploitation of the new CPUs and RAM amounts, etc.)

But I use GForce's Oddity2 (and Minimonsta and ImpOscar2) using a second monitor which is set to only 1280 px. And in fact I don't use this second monitor that much when I use these three awesome synths, having a BCR2000 where I have set all the MIDI changes for these synths.

But it's true that GForce should update these synths. They really would deserve it.
