Oddment Audio ODD-1 Granular Synthesizer Now Available To Pre-order
Superbooth 2026: Oddment Audio ODD-1 is a new desktop hardware granular Synthesizer with a hands-on user interface and CV connectivity: almost ready to ship.
The ODD-1 granular Synthesizer has been in development for over two years. Oddment Audio is also showcasing the ODD-1 at Superbooth (W206) this year.
It is a granular Synthesizer with up to 8-voice polyphony, shared across 2 multitimbral layers, and eight simultaneous stereo samples up to 60s at 48kHz. You have four independent playheads per layer with flexible assignment to the four samples.
You can use the synth as a multi-timbral synth, expressive sampler, multi-track looper, or even a real-time effect processor.
Features:
- Desktop lab for sound synthesis featuring a one-of-a-kind, limitless patching system.
- Custom microsonic (aka granular) processing designed for the powerful quad-core ARM A72 CPUs achieves thousands of small pieces of sound (grains) per second with high-quality over-sampling.
- Create movement and depth with per-grain spatial audio rendering and ear-inspired filtering
- 18 infinite encoders with integrated switches and LEDs enable a knob-per-function feel in a travel-friendly size, with as much depth as any granular synthesizer on the market.
- Thoughtfully-designed interactions on the 2.8” capacitive touch screen enable depth without menu diving.
- 8 simultaneous stereo samples up to 60s at 48kHz.
- 8-voice polyphony shared across 2 multi-timbral layers.
- 2 layers can independently behave as a multi-timbral synth, expressive sampler, multi-track looper or real-time effect processor
- 4 independent playheads per layer with flexible assignment to the 4 samples.
- Stretch a sound to infinity without losing its natural articulation using our one-of-a-kind, variable-speed Time Path.
- Patch without limits – Connect 4 LFOs, 3 Envelopes, 4 Macros, 4 Control signals, and any MIDI control to any parameter on the device just by holding it down.
- MPE capable for expressive control.
- 4 control signal inputs for connecting modular gear, expression and sustain pedals.
- Hundreds of amazing factory patches
- 2GB library of custom samples, created exclusively for the ODD-1 by musicians like Joshua Van Tassel and Lee Clarke.
- 4GB of user storage for samples and patches.
- Capture new stereo samples from analog input, microphone input or USB audio input.
- Connect as a USB drive to transfer samples, patches and painless firmware upgrades.
- Dual stereo filters per-voice with classic resonant filter designs. Can be set in series or parallel.
- Saturation per-voice and per-layer with distortion, bit crush, and compression.
- Two echo units per-layer include distortion and filtering in the feedback loop to achieve anywhere from crisp digital delay to warm feedback.
- Design and achieve your own effects sounds by modulating the core synthesis, filtering, delay elements. Chorus, phasor, flanger, tremolo, tape emulation, and on from there.
- Custom sample analysis enables unique pitch and timing control modes.
- Capture the audio of a performance or experimentation session directly on device.
- Powder-coated aluminum enclosure is as durable as it is beautiful.
- Companion ODD-1V plug-in with identical sound processing and factory library, for those times when you’ve accidentally left home without your ODD-1.
The good news is that development is in its final stages. It’s great to see that the ODD-1 is now almost finished.
According to the developers, the ODD-1 will ship in August 2026 and is still available for pre-order for $999.
