ARP Odyssey

Um, I mean, all just-- obviously just kind of a perfect record.

But, you know, as a keyboard player, it says, you know, Herbie Hancock plays Fender Rhodes, Hohner Clavinet, ARP Odyssey, ARP String Ensemble, et cetera.

You know, and you're like, "Oh, that's what that sound is.

How do I get that?"

Uh-huh.

He, he played that ARP Odyssey like, like it was Jimi Hendrix playing his Strat.

Yeah.

It screamed and it wailed.

which gave them room to layer horns and synths without muddying the mix.

The ARP Odyssey and Moog Minimoog brought those spacey, analog synth textures that became signatures of the P-Funk sound.

And when hip-hop producers in the late 80s and early 90s started sampling from Parliament's vinyl, they were literally borrowing those same grooves for a new generation.

Culturally, P-Funk was more than music.
