Description : Due to its sound palette, which varies from heavy drum n ‘bass to stunted arpeggiated lines of electronic bass, regardless of your chosen genre. The 2600 is truly a universal tool for creating sound that still takes its place in modern music. Due to the unique combination of semi-modular architecture and associated routing, the tool has become one of the most versatile synthesizers of the 1970s.
The legend returned : Arp 2600 had a cult sound, and Arturia was accurate in recreating this amazing synthesizer. From the sound of three oscillators to the original filter and the huge possibilities of modular routing. You get all this and more.
Sound Research : If you’re new to the synthesis – no problem: we’ve included hundreds of great presets so you can get started. Arp 2600 is a workhorse that can produce everything from clean leads and sequencing to insane sound effects. When you need something with a special nature of sound, Arp 2600 is just what you need!
Outside and back : Although the original instrument was amazing, we always find ways of innovation and improvement. Four revolutionary modulation generators add sound flexibility, and a step sequencer will allow you to animate your sounds. Multimode filter and sound effects add new features not found in the original … Did we mention that it is completely polyphonic?
A bit of history : Alan R. Pearlman, whose abbreviation later became the name of his company, was convinced of the possibility of using electronic devices as musical instruments back in 1948, when he was a student at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute. It was for him a means to connect his two passions: electronic music and piano. In 1969, he created ARP Instruments (originally called Tonus Inc.) with David Frends and Lewis G. Pollock. In Massachusetts, electronic products were developed, but most importantly, they designed and built a large ARP 2500 modular synthesizer. The machine used a matrix to connect various sections of the synthesizer in place of the traditional connecting cables found in the competitors’ modules. ARP 2500 found success in American universities. The development of ARP-tools was fast and in 1972 ARP 2600 was announced, probably the most legendary of the whole range. This semi-modular synthesizer, conceived with an educational purpose, was to become extremely successful after a shaky start. The ARP 2600 was very popular with Stevie Wonder, Joe Zawinul (Weather Report), Tony Banks (Genesis), Jean-Michel Jarre and Herbie Hancock, and others. ARP was the leader in the synthesizer market in the 1970s (about 40% market share). Ten years later, three versions of the ARP 2600 were introduced: the first was called “Blue Meanie” because of its blue steel finish. “Blue Meanie” was quickly replaced by a second version with gray trim and white silk lines (1972). In 1978, ARP decided to change the graphic finish for all of its machines: a black background with orange silk lines was introduced. The third and last version of ARP2600 was the most popular of all.
New features : ARP 2600 V Arturia revives this powerful analog synthesizer again. All original functions and proprietary sound are reproduced, not to mention MIDI control, polyphony and the ability to create, save and play presets. But that’s not all: the speaker panels hide innovative features that raise the original design of the ARP 2600 to a new level. Four revolutionary generators add sound flexibility, which is very advanced. Also available are modern effect devices, as well as the original ARP-sequencer. The combination of old and new features creates an exciting new virtual synthesizer. If you are new to the synthesis – no problem: we have included hundreds of excellent presets so you can start. If you are an experienced sound engineer, the ARP 2600 V will immediately add new dimensions to your music.
