    Well we should say, the ARP 

Odyssey

 had these features.

Because many hit records saw the use of the ARP 2600, which was
the modular, bigger brother to the Odyssey. Patch chords, telephone
switchboard to plug them into, modulating anything with anything -
that was the ARP 2600's game. Giant bubbling, burbling swooshing
space sounds were its forte. The skinny little lead sounds like those
Chick Corea used on the Return to Forever records - those were all
ARP Odyssey. In fact, this voice refers to one of Chick’s lead sounds
from the Return to Forever album 

Where have I Known You Before.

ARP Odyssey – “Black and Gold” version.

E15 – ARP Highpass Lead

   The ARP Odyssey did have one thing the Minimoog didn’t have – a
hi-pass filter, in addition to a low pass filter. Years after the Odyssey
was discontinued and ARP went out of business, the Odyssey’s high-
pass filtered lead sound found its way onto the first rap and hip-hop
records (thanks in no small part to numerous used Odysseys showing
up in pawn shops at cheap prices). The classic “Dr. Dre” lead sound
is typical ARP Odyssey.
