I don't need another monosynth and I don't have room for this. Can't wait to get mine!

[@daemonelectricity]

Same here. Just got a Prophet Rev 2. It's been a while before that even, since I bought a new synth, but I'm all about this. I don't even have any of the other Behringer synths yet.

[@SRV2013]

[@bcitral]

Well if it’s anywhere near as good as the odyssey it will be a winner

haha my sentiments exactly.. trying to figure out where this and the mono/poly are gonna go.

[@WestonStephens]

100% absolutely no justification for another mono .... but yes, this is mandatory 🙏

[@PhilipTerzis]

Behringer please listen to my prayers 🙏🙏❤️ What would be a GREAT idea for Behringer to do would be to make a new 4 track tape recorder (like tascam porta one). Everyone is dying to buy used tape recorders nowdays but you must be more than lucky to find a functional one in a reasonable price. No other company is doing this right now. It would sell like crazy!

[@leNotstrom]

8 Track! With EQ and Pitch (speed) Control!

[@PhilipTerzis]

@@leNotstrom yeah I thought about it later too. 8 track with some proper VU meters and pitch control would be dope.

[@atsukoC-m9k]

By the time you crowd 4 tracks on a cassette it is pretty well jammed. I vote for a 4 track OTARI system.

[@StevenWRichardson]

My dude, Uli, please, roll these out ASAP, I can think of nothing better than spending the remainder of quarantine with a Behringer 2600

Siunds great, always thought these were cool, If it's about 900 quid i'll buy it, but i ain't paying crazy prices like what korg want for an almost 50 year old bit of technology fuck that..

@Rhizosphere Fingers crossed buddy, as i say if its under a grand sure i'll snap one up, Behringer are absolutely killin it at the moment..

[@StevenWRichardson]

I’d love to have any working original or reissue or clone 2600, at a price I can afford. Best synth I’ve ever spent time with, absolutely amazing. If they were to be available for enough under a $1000 I’d buy at least 2 of them, I have a wall of synths and none of them can do what single 2600 so please for the love of humanity please unleash the Behringer 2600+ 2020 sucks, this would make isolation joyful

@Bootsandcats was shown yesterday

[@StevenWRichardson]

@Bootsandcats duders drum machines are cool and , han=ve some cool units, but for real , if you don't have on there are a bunch of awesome ones out there and most are greatish. NOTHING ELSE BEHRINGER is working on matters on the same Level as an affordable ARP 2600, played on one for several months years ago and realllllllly nothing else before or after compares at all in any way at all nothing else has ever ever been close....the EMS Synthi is its own other next level machine

[@maydaygoingdown5602]

@@GuyGamer1 I would deffinatly tell the difference straight away...as would every other who's used an original. The much thinner tonal difference for a start and the filters sound and act nothing like the original. This sounds like anyother analogue copy...it was the same with there Odyssey copy, infact this sounds the same as that there's no difference. And that's where it falls very short, both of the Behringer copies sound to clean, the signal in the original where far from that, they where gnarly. The filters where also gnarly, not clean crisp sweeps like these. The tone was massive, not weak. I can hear the difference between this and Korgs for example...Korg has pretty much nailed it, although even the Korgs filters are still slightly to nice compared to the original...but not much...but then you can't replicate the original filters 100% because the circuitry is not 100% excact. But yeah I tip my hat to Korg, I didn't think it would be possible for them to replicate the ARP 2600, not a chance, but they pretty much have. Behringer....well...sounds like they took there Odyssey attempt and placed it inside a different housing, sonically and tonaly there is no difference...both are way too thin sonically and tonaly to be considered replicas of the originals.

[@reedsutter8485]

You folks have resurrected my synth love. I finally layed hands on a Behringer synth for the first time this week and it was really something special. I’d been pursuing other hobbies in recent years and hadn’t seen much to demand my attention until you guys got in the game. Behringer has really breathed new life into the affordable synthesizer market.

[@PaulGBass]

They've done really well, great gear and great prices but this is largely a myth. Are you saying you couldn't afford Korg Volcas or Arturia Mini & Drumbrutes or the IK synth & drum machine or the KORG Mini & Monologue? Deepminds are cheap yes, but so are Minilogue and Prologue. Dreadbox Erebus and Novation Bass Station are also cheap. I own 4 of their synths and a drum machine but if they never existed the only thing I'd really be missing is the authentic Moog bass sound as no way would I pay £3500 for a Minimoog re-issue.

[@reedsutter8485]

PaulGBass Not saying that they are the only company doing good work, but I personally wasn’t that excited or interested in those other products. At least not enough to need to add them to my arsenal. Seeing and now playing some of the new Behringer gear has rekindled my interest and it is exciting to feel a connection to synth history for such a reasonable price. Original 2600’s, Minimoogs, Octave Cats, Sequential Pro Ones were always out of reach. I’ve still got my own old synth collection. Now I’m playing them again and trying to decide what to add to the arsenal again and it is totally Behringer’s fault. I’m grateful

[@KNHSynths]

@@PaulGBass a volca, a dreadbox, all these machines are not a Model D, a Pro One, a Wasp, not speaking about a 2600 or the System 100m or Moog Modular 55, 35 and 15... I can understand that Behringer changed the perception of synths for a lot of people. I love the dreadbox, the minilogue is really a cool machine, but if you're not in the loop, these machines don't make your heart beating like all Behringer repros. Behringer reissues bring back memories, feelings that can't be touched by a volca or a prologue, and that can change, no, that is clearly changing the way their instruments and synths in general are perceived by many people. Not everybody is living with synths for decades, some people were out of the game for a long time. And you must accept this situation, as well as nor Korg or Roland have bring back these people to the synths world. Berhinger did it.

The 2600 was ignored studiously by the many electronic music lab students at LCC back around 1984. I spent many a fantastic hour using the 2600 waiting my turn at the DX7 assignment. The lab teacher never used it a single day if I remember correctly. Making patches and asking the piano playing synth nuts there to try to make a noise with it, or even music Was really funny !!! Great for FX , samples or even a drone or blip or two! My Uncle used the 2600 on star trek to great effect.... Douglas you rocked!

BTW the Keystep is a prefect match sizewise. I think, this is why Behringer will release the Swing. They asked us customers whether they should provide a keyboard for the B2600. Looking now for a good looking rack. THANKS BEHRINGER, GREAT JOB!

Okay Behringer, I'm sold, but can we please, PLEEEASE have the prototype grey as a final production color option? It's so much more beautiful than the black. 🧡

this synth sounds stupid good! Behringer has really outdone themselves with this synth. Each one just keeps getting better. I hope they do V.2 of all their earlier synths to get the up to the quality of this bad bad puppy!

Yes! All envelopes should have different time settings. My new Blue Lantern envelope has that and it's amazing. Love that inclusion, good job Behringer. Knocked it out of the park on this one.

[@Zinfidel1]

It's the newer design. "Blue Lantern Modular Simple Envelope 2.1" has gold mushrooms on it. Feature-rich and affordable. Definitely buying another one.

I owned the original ARP 2600 back in the 1970s. It lacked a lot of the features of the Behringer clone and in 1974 cost me (seconhard) $1700, That's close to 10K in 2021 dollars; the Behringer is about $700 and has MIDI and a whole bunch of features the original lacked. No presets, no sequencer. But the power! Even without patches you can create a stunning variety of sounds and with patches only your imagination limits you. The deeper I get into DAWs and composition the less I use presets; most of them are useless, most of the remainder are indistinguishable brzzzt electronic noises that were fun in the 1970s when synths were new and we all wanted people to know we owned one (I own a lot more than one now), but now the overtly electronic noises sound kind of dated and I'm really not interested in doing 80s dance music. When I would seek a preset I would spend 15 minutes listening to one sample after another and I was in the As. With the 2600 I can create the sound I want in minutes.

[@payt01]

@@djJustJay Well to be fair the original has spring reverb too, so we can't count that as an extra feature.

[@djJustJay]

Payt Laros oh, i did not know that this whole time. Crazy. Well then the digital reverb is prolly a bit of a let down then. I had no clue the original had reverb, makes so much sense tho looking back....

[@payt01]

@@djJustJay Well the digital reverb seeks to replicate the characteristics of the original spring reverb. From what I can tell, it does a pretty good job. The advantage is that they can always change it in firmware updates. The disadvantage is that they'll probably never 100% replicate the real thing ;)

[@djJustJay]

Payt Laros im buying one either way, but i def see some minor sonic differences. With that being said its damn damn close, kinda feel like im splitting hairs saying that. Either way very fine machine!

[@ElektroHaus]

Amazing! Thanks Behringer for bringing amazing synth recreations to the masses at an affordable price! I own the Deepmind 12 and am looking forward to adding the behringer pro 1, 808, 909 and now the 2600 to my arsenal. Cheers!

[@timschulz9563]

Awesome! The next thing we need is an analog sequencer. And a delay module inside the 2600 would be pretty nice too (I'd rather have delay than reverb)

[@maydaygoingdown5602]

This sounds absolutely nothing remotely like the original my mate. Korg however have Nailed it. More expensive but you get the real deal.

[@RundFyrkant]

Wowawewa there's alot of famous people endorsing this clone by participating in the marketing. Very awesome to see them all aboard 👌

[@MarkIreland_carrierband]

I wish Behringer would offer all these different filters (Moog, Korg, Rolands, Cat, ARP etc) in the one module so I could simply switch between them

[@SourDiesel69]

Mark Ireland that would make it harder for them to keep costs down which is their business model

[@d-v-f]

Some nice additions in there, the extra dedicated LFO is good, the added option of both the 4012 and 4072 filter is also nice to have. I would ditch the multi colored LEDs and just have red but thats just personal taste has no bearing on the sound of the unit. Did you external clock sync the signal switch? That was not on the original so would also be a good feature. Sounds like you got it pretty close too. Demo the ring mod next time, would like to hear it just to be a stickler. 😀

[@niknayme3754]

If the LEDS are the same as on the Odyssey, you can probably change 'em for the colour you want. They're easy to take off. In fact it'd be good if Behringer sold coloured LED kits for the synths.

[@jean-louispech4921]

you have a knob at the rear of the synth where you set the the level of the LEDs.

[@InXLsisDeo]

I personally like the multicolor leds. Makes it easy to know which is which in the dark. And you know you WANT to be in the dark when you play with this. :D

[@niknayme3754]

@@InXLsisDeo Well, if it's as good as Behringer's version of the Odyssey, it'll be great. Being rackmount, suppose people will use it mostly at home (some of them in the dark)..... :)

[@garyturner5204]

I am betting that the LEDs are just like the Roland Boutique series. I found a set of replacement LEDs in blue for my Roland JU-06 - Roland put red LEDs and I quickly and easily switched them out for blue LEDs.

[@mpmi7588]

Not convinced as far as a comparison with the original based off other videos even against other 2600 remakes by various companies. Just sounds like typical synths. Either because of the person doing the demo or the actualy synth but I"d cop it based on the looks. Dope how it sits up or flat down.

[@KNHSynths]

You know, there's something unclear with all those reproductions. Each one telling that his machine is sounding like the real one. Even Korg when they made the MS-20 Mini failed to reproduce exactly the sound of a 1978 MS-20... and even at that time when I bought in 78 my MS-20, it was not exactly sounding like the ones that were done in 1980... We are focused on these comparisons and we like them, so youtube give us some... But the reality is that even in the 70's there was not 2 synths sounding the same, from same maker and same model. And worse, if you compare a "vintage" Arp 2600 today against the Korg 2600 or the Behringer, none will sound the same because in 30/40 years the original one sound has changed ! All components are aging, their values are changing, changing a lot the sound. So, of course comparing is a way to tell if you are nearer to a 2600 or a Model D or a DX7, but you can't say a lot more, really. Then the most important thing is what you're hearing : are you pleased by the behringer 2600 sound ? Can you imagine using it in your compositions ? If you can answer yes to these questions then no matter how the sound matches to an hypothetically "true" vintage 2600 that has never existed and that is not existing and will never exist... :-)

[@mpmi7588]

@@KNHSynths thats some good insight. As true as it is, i cant help but to think/feel as if these synth companies are all selling the same synth but decorated differently. Ibe gone back and watched videos just to see that they all have the same amount ofbosc & shapes (minus a few sometimes). Maybe some patches and amount of lfo/filters etc. Cool for newbies but not good for ppl with gas or dont know any better. Basically seems like all thats being done is soup out of one bowl and putting it into various better looking bowls with or without more seasoning. Maybe after all these years and different manufactures, analog has reached a point of everything has been done so now it all sounds the same no matter how you dress it. I wouldnt expect this to sound EXACTLY like an arp 2600 but it seems like they didnt even try to get it close to it other than the slight appearances.

[@KNHSynths]

​@@mpmi7588 ​That's not false. But one must not forget a synth is a music instrument. It's primarily goal is to be controllable and sounding good. Too much people are trying to make "astonishing" things because we're living in a fake world. KZbin, facebook, all the social networks are faking our senses, we see only beautiful and happy people. Of course it is fake, they are not so beautiful, so rich, so happy. There are tears behind the scene... But this fantastic fake world is making some people believing that they can also be fantastic and incredible 24/7... And they thing machines can help. In the synth world that means too much musicians are waiting for the synths to produce never heard sounds that are beautiful... It is a fool game. You can already produce beautiful sounds with 1970 machines... Of course some modern machines are very interesting. But the real goal is to make music, to create emotions and feelings. And any good machine vintage or not is able to do that because it all depends on the man who touch the keyboard and not the synth itself... Until a super AI will exist, Art is a human thing.
