[sdiy] KORG to Remake ARP Odyssey

[Mattias Rickardsson]

This is even stranger than the new MS-20 kit... o_O

But it looks like another Mini-sized re-release?
Compare the keys of http://www.korg.com/us/news/2014/0217/
with the MS-20 Mini

and with their full-sized keybeds:

Also compare it with the original Odyssey:

Differences in various panel spacings, and... don't the switches look a bit big?
