Behringer 2600ASM Overview

Conjure unbelievable synth tones with the Behringer 2600 , an authentic reproduction of the original ARP 2600, a three-oscillator analog synthesizer that has become one of the most sought-after instruments by musicians, producers, and sound designers. The original 2600 was favorited by illustrious artists such as Edgar Winter, Pete Townsend, Herbie Hancock, and Jean-Michel Jarre.

The 2600 features 3 VCOs, a multimode VCF, VCA, two envelope generators, and two LFOs. Several processing modules add a ton of power and include a ring modulator, lag processor, sample and hold, Schmitt trigger, envelope follower, a noise generator with continuously variable color, and a realistic-sounding digital spring reverb to add spaciousness and a sense of scale to your music.

The semimodular design allows you to create sounds straight out of the box without patch cables. However, the true power of the instrument lies with the 83 patch points, which provide the ultimate in configuration flexibility. Additionally, there are 58 faders and 15 buttons that give you hands-on, direct, and real-time access to all parameters. The synthesizer's enclosure features rack ears for mounting in an 8 RU case. The 2600 includes a power adapter.

Overview
  • Remarkable analog synthesizer with triple VCO design allows for massive music creation
  • Authentic reproduction of original ARP 2600 circuitry with matched transistors and JFETs

True to Original
  • Behringer has taken great care in engineering the 2600, utilizing true-to-the-original analog circuitry, semimodular architecture, and triple VCO designs that come together to recreate classic tones that are evocative of classic electronic music. 
  • This attention to detail is what gives the 2600 its ultraflexible sound-shaping capability, giving you the ability to create a lot of amazing tones from superfat bass and tasty leads, all the way to full on dreamy ambience from the far reaches of your imagination.
Ready to Rock
The 2600 is a semimodular synthesizer, which allows you to start making music without having to plug patch cables into different modules. However, the 2600 features 83 patch points allowing you to configure it anyway you wish.
Make Waves
The 2600 features 3 VCOs with FM inputs. You can even patch the VCOs' default waveforms to square, triangle, saw, sine or pulse which allows for an awe-inspiring palette of tonal possibilities. Any of the VCOs can also be switched to operate as a low frequency oscillator while the multi-mode VCF acts as the VCO mixer of the 2600 where VCO's one, two and three can be blended. Combine that with its integrated resonance control, filter mode switch and the ability to output to other areas of the synth and the 2600 becomes a fantastic and flexible tool for creating a diverse palette of tones that will truly blow away your audience.
Advanced Capabilities
The 2600 features an incredible range of modules and effects including a ring modulator, lag processor, sample and hold, Schmitt trigger, envelope follower, a noise generator with continuously variable color, and a highly realistic sounding digital spring reverb to add spaciousness and a sense of scale to your music.
Shape of Time
  • With the integrated ADSR and AR envelope generators of the 2600, you can create some truly dynamic progressions in your songs. Set the attack, decay, sustain, and release low to get short and softer-sounding notes, then adjust accordingly.
  • If simple ADSR controls are not enough, you can get creative by flipping the Time Factor switch to either x2, x1, or x0.5. This gives you more control over the shape of the envelope, so you can have notes that are short and percussive or long and atmospheric
Shape Your Tone
The VCA section of the 2600 offers even more tone-shaping possibilities alongside the VCF, which can then be blended in the Mixer section. Within the VCA section, you set the initial gain of the circuit, route signals to any of the input jacks, and adjust the gain using the sliders. The VCA also features differential inputs for both linear and exponential response, which accept control voltage signals via 3.5mm jacks.

Really nice, my son wanted to experiment with electronic sounds and electronic hardware. Erorack is the way to go. By using the 2600 you can learn the different components function before start building Eurorack modules.

Cannot review this item.

FedEx did not deliver this item on 10/30/2024 as scheduled. FedEx did not deliver this item the next day 10/31/2024, nor has FedEx delivered this item today 11/01/2024. Upon contacting FedEx it was discovered the item is in limbo in another state and I cannot get an answer as to where. In short, they lost or misdelivered it. Now I'll have to fight to get the money back I paid for it. Bad business, FedEx has really gone downhill!
