Thanks for the demo. The impression I'm getting is that people experienced with the original Arp get the most 2600-like sounds out of the B2600 and K2600.

[@RalphBaumgartl]

That's right! I went immediately to patch my sounds on the B2600, and I felt "at home" right away. Owning an original ARP2600 does definitely help to handle and appreciate the 2600 replicas. Greetings, Ralph

[@jppagetoo]

@@RalphBaumgartl Thank you so much for this info! I know you have a vintage unit so it means more to hear this evaluation from you rather somebody who does not. I play for fun, I can afford $600 for a new toy. A vintage unit not so much. And I think the Behringer will also be much cheaper to keep runnning. I should have mine here in the US about middle of February.

[@RalphBaumgartl]

@jppagetoo Vintage synths are nice but they usually need more maintenance than new units. I bought my ARP 2600 for relatively little money in the 1980s when Poly Synths were the flavor of day and in high demand. I doubt I would be willing to pay around 12000 USD for a vintage ARP2600 nowadays if I hadn't one already. But don't get me wrong, the original ARP 2600 has a unique vibe and feel. It's a great Synth. Cheers, Ralph

[@Adam-XL]

Great video! I have one on order and to be honest dont mind if it sounds and looks a bit different to an ARP original as it means it has its own vibe

Anything you can do on the Odyssey, you can do on the 2600 as well. The patch might be a bit more complicated and requires some cabling, but the 2600 is semi modular and thus offers more possibilities and options than the Odyssey. Greetings, Ralph

My personal opinion, not owning one and not hearing one in person yet is this: I think that *for the price* it's a pretty nice synthesizer. However, to my ears it does not sound like a 2600. The dry sound of it isn't that impressive to me at all if I am being honest... and I am not one of those Behringer haters! I want to love it but I just can't. The overall sound feels kinda muffled to me, like it has a lowpass filter on it somewhere... and that's not just this video, it's every video I've seen. It also seems to be missing a sort of fizzy, organic, metallic quality to it that the original had. I think that even the Arturia 2600 VST did a better job of nailing the sound.

I agree with you - it doesn't sound like a 2600. Go listen to the demos of he Korg 2600 and you can immediately hear the difference. Nonetheless I have one on order and am interested in trying it out.

@@phazerbrains call me crazy but I think the Odyssey (behringer and korg versions) sound better than this. Am I just going deaf?

[@VincentsVideoVisions]

@@phazerbrains it's a shame that the korg version is so crazy expensive. It sounds remarkably better than this Behringer version. I actually prefer the Behringer Odyssey to the Korg one due to the effects and sequencer since they sound about the same. With the 2600 though there's a huge difference in sound. I dont knowing korg is overpricing or if Behringer is using cheap crappy components.. all I know is the behringer 2600 doesn't sound nearly as good as the Korg.

@@phazerbrains But even the Korg 2600 does not sound like the ARP 2600. You can spot the difference in the envelopes which are weaker in the KORG.

btw, the author of this video left this comment further below... "I am really impressed by the sound of the B2600. The two mode filter is really awesome! In my personal opinion the sound of the B2600 matches up to my original ARP 2600. Greetings, Ralph" This guy owns the original one and can compare it 1:1 - not only judge in a YT video. But maybe you own the Tonus version with the 4012 filter which is for the most ARP lovers the best sounding version of the 2600 ?

Isn't it nice that we humans are sometimes so different from each other. The glittering lights on any Synth are a buying reason for me 😃

[@sub-jec-tiv]

@@RalphBaumgartl It looks almost the same as the original. The lights are different of course (I like!). But this synth was designed in a past era, i’m 50 so i remember it... a time when synths looked like luggage. And sounded freaking great! 🙃
