KORG ARP 2600 v1.0.6 + Library

The iconic ARP 2600. This is the only synth you’ll see in any major studio. They command astronomical prices on the used market.
When KORG released a limited edition ARP 2600 FS in 2020, they immediately sold out worldwide.
Now KORG is excited to introduce the first truly accurate software recreation of this essential synth.

✔️ Extras information
KORG’s proprietary CMT technology faithfully reproduces the signature waveforms and filters, user-defined LFO and envelope shapes, many subtle non-linearities, and even patch panel behavior – unlike any other 2600 software instrument. Thanks to this obsessive attention to detail, you can open the original ARP 2600 patch book (available as a free PDF on the KORG website), plug in each of the 100 patches on-screen, and they’ll sound just like the real ARP 2600.

Preserving the fantastic sound quality, incredible flexibility, and uniqueness of the original was just the beginning. To truly honor the legacy of this legendary instrument, we asked ourselves: If ARP redesigned the 2600 today, what would it be like? In response, we’ve made a host of improvements, including a second filter, a drive section, new modulation sources, extensive MIDI control, a sophisticated sequencer, up to 16-voice polyphony, and more – all while maintaining the spirit of the original ARP 2600. design.

The ARP 2600 is the perfect way to learn analog synthesis. The primary signal path runs cleanly from left to right. Unlike a modular synth, cables are optional; you can create incredible sounds simply by moving sliders. Everything is right in front of you – no scrolling required. We wanted to extend this tradition of learning and ease of use. The new silkscreen uses color to differentiate between signal sources, signal processors, modulation sources, and control modules. (If you prefer, the original white-on-black silkscreen is also available.) When you choose to use cables, they show the direction of signal flow, and unusable patch points fade into the background. On-screen help provides information and helpful tips for every slider, knob, switch, and jack.
