Deadmau5 on an Behringer 2600 // some of his MIDI files put through their paces.

[@dalejason]

… I keep coming back to this video… these are insanely addictive sounds / patches and arp sequences ❤️

[@evanweatherford1250]

Deadmaus’ arpeggiated progression is great, but your patch and the way you modulate it gives the tune urgency and takes me on a journey. Gets better every time I listen. ❤️

[@WingHouseCup]

This synth just sounds amazing in the right hands. It's a steal for what theyre asking for it.

[@fincorrigan7139]

I have a vision of an unkempt, unshaven, dishevelled Starsky emerging from his B2600 bunker in a years time with a grin that makes the Joker jealous 😂👍👍

[@StarskyCarr]

Not too far from the truth 😂

[@ogasi1798]

hahahahaaaaaaa

[@Charles-kl9ho]

This video is in my bookmarks since 1 year. I think i watch it every 2 months. The 3 first minutes are awesome.

[@chadsix4838]

This makes me want one of these things more than any other demo I've seen. Just wonderful

[@valleywoodstudio7345]

Excellent. I've one arriving tomorrow. I'm an old school piano, Rhodes, Hammond, guitar player and recording engineering thingie - but recently the synth thing has hit me as a chance to reinvigorate my creativity. It looks a ton of fun too...

[@EdEditz]

Behringer hit the ball straight out of the park with this one. I'm so glad I have one and can follow along :)

[@chadduncan9716]

Snagged the Odyssey and plan on pairing it with one of these as well

[@squirrelvalhalla9386]

Love that filter. When it slowly opens up... it makes my scalp tingle every time. Well played Mr Carr 🤏🏼

[@christianschroer1999]

The cool thing is that one of the original desingers of that original machine was also working on that behringer clone.

[@marsmediapro]

I ALWAYS enjoy your videos. I appreciate your straight forwardness, light heartedness, and still refer back to all your video tutorials on newer synths I have purchased in recent years. Thank you for ALL you do! (This is QUITE nice!!)

[@bauhnguefyische667]

The 2600 is an amazing audio work surface. It’s more about playing the synth than playing the keyboard. It was built for Arps, bass and lead and then the cooler stuff for patch kids.

[@argiopeMusic]

Dude, I use deadmau5’s midi arps to explore new synths too. Such a sweet resource. Thx for giving us this reference!

[@StarskyCarr]

Not sure if the license allows me to mention him.. so left to those in the know ;)

[@argiopeMusic]

@@StarskyCarr Dunno, but royalty free and he made it... nonetheless, I've kept Chimaera in my Ableton Places for years and remains the go-to for exploring synth presets and such. Hard to beat. My own stuff bores me! lol

[@AdamsBrew78]

Are you referring to Xfer Cthulu? I’ve been meaning to give that a try.

[@argiopeMusic]

@@AdamsBrew78 def worth it for both fun and learning from a master

[@MrJanHjohnson]

@argiope where can I find these midi files?

[@treasuremonkey]

Well that was delightful. Sitting here surrounded by an array of incredible synthesizers and feeling like a need another on now haha. Gorgeous!

[@RadiAsian]

yep that satisfies the craving. on the shopping list since last year but after hearing it today...its on the top of the list . The sound is beautiful. Thank you.

[@sea-saw2654]

Just over a year ago and being a bedroom guitarist for many years I stumbled upon one of your synth reviews and while not starting me on my synth interest it definitely accelerated me down the rabbit hole of which I happily fell, so now having a better understanding of how subtractive synth work it makes watching this so much more enjoyable and impressive. Knowing now how the sound is being produced ie filter envelopes cut off resonance lfos etc make it even more enjoyable .. long may you continue.. 👏👍

[@TheHouseofKushTV]

Just lovely. Is it me or was this tracked thru an old Neve? I track most of my synths thru an old pair and feel like I recognize that same crusty midrange saturation here. In any case, sweet sequences and I appreciate the sensitive touch!

[@StarskyCarr]

Thanks for stopping by... I'm quite a fan of your plugins, and have lusted after some of your hardware for years:) This does have a gritty quality, but not because of a Neve... it's just the right side of a little bit dirty. I tried to keep the signal path as clean as possible to get the raw sound in the demos.

[@TheHouseofKushTV]

@@StarskyCarr We're in a mutual admiration society then, your vids have informed half my synth purchases in the past few years :-) This one is extra impressive, the modern reissues and clones I have here always need a bit of love from an actual old circuit to get this level of vibe. Please feel free to hit me up thru kush support anytime, I'd love to to round out your plugin collection as a thanks for the killer content!

In addition to being a great video, what I also appreciate is your placement of the ads. This is probably the most the least interruptive ads experience I have seen on a video. It's much appreciated.

[@fakihkademoglu2806]

I broke the like button :) This is massive. Amazing video. Didn't know this clone sounded this great. Thanks alot !

[@tubemoog]

Bravo. Part of making such great patches is really knowing and understanding the instrument

[@less_concerned1221]

Mine should arrive today. I’m so excited!!! I love your video; I’ve watched it several times already.

[@christdolphin69]

that big arpeggio patch is fucking gorgeous. incredible work here, by far the best behringer arp2600 demo out there. thank you for this

[@cerebralkaos2385]

Starsky raving brilliant! Never get sick of this demo!

[@soundseven2514]

Starsky, absolute belter of a 2600 demo. Loved it. Like others, your videos help us at SOUND7 inform much of our synth purchases. These clones are nailing it. Keep going!

[@JamesO512]

I keep coming back to this. Such mind-melting sounds!

[@ethanoch]

Did I detect the Nosedive midsection in Part 1 there? Literally my favorite chord progression. 👍 I just purchased the Behringer 2600 Gray Meanie yesterday --- it's my first hardware synth ever, after working with software synths for years. I'm so excited to explore the sonic opportunities!

[@PeresD]

I just love real synths,modular or otherwise, writing the midi in Ableton then running them back through the synths and tweaking is so satisfying.

[@StarskyCarr]

I even sometimes write stuff with softsynths then fire the MIDi to hardware to record all the sweet tweaking loveliness :) just fine exactly that with my Prophet 600 using Repro5 at first. The track I’ll feature in my upcoming Prophet 609 vid was created like that.

[@PeresD]

@@StarskyCarr brilliant !

[@fakshen1973]

You're talking about performing. That's the thing... you CAN do that. You can even do it on your soft synths in Ableton if you map their functionality to controllers and record the automation. Just keep performing the song and then put together the best bits.

[@romeopalijan8485]

Damn you. I just bought 10 (yes 10) pieces of musical equipment in 2 weeks and had successfully convinced myself that should be enough for restarting making music. I was eyeing the 2600 as well but decided thatI have really enough gear now and should start rtfm the existing pieces. But now after listening to this I need this one as well.That is just such an amazing sound. So instead of a groove box, 1 synth and a small keyboard I am now equipped with 2 tables full of hardware synths I really have no clue yet how to use. But I am happy...

[@tranceemerson8325]

there's something we call GAS in the biz. lol

[@TheDavidPoole]

GAS attack? I'm in the middle of one, and I can't find the Andrews!

[@Its303AcidBass]

Just start with the most complex piece and work your way down.

[@Its303AcidBass]

Oh also, I highly recommend you take notes on programming and patches using Microsoft Onenote. Put all the digital instruction manuals in there too. It's a great app that can refresh your memory quick if you forget how to do something.

I want this synth badly but I came long ago for the review, since then, I always come and put it on for your insane musical journey dude! Thank you!

[@flutta_]

6:50 ah yep now i want one. lol

[@MrTom-Songwriter-Composer]

Brilliant demo', well done.. I am really happy you got this one. The sounds that you are making, brings back a lot of memories to me... for certain reasons. Have a great week, stay safe out there. Cheers.

[@MrSynthmania]

Wow, what an amazing demo. It really makes me cry, because of this beautyful sequences. Today I ordered one of this synth.

[@Nonpartisanmusic]

Yes the sequences are very catchy and meaningful. You might like some of Deadmau5 tunes (4ware) or Tron Legacy arpeggios...

[@bigbuddha6563]

Im a newbe with this lovely synth It blows my mind when i see your patches and controls 😮

[@EnricoDePaoli]

Your video could not have been more inspiring. Amazing. Thanks and congrats!

[@gneissguy4342]

Hell yeah!!!! I've been looking so forward to this vid!! Sounds incredible, the beginning could have been on an Orbital album or something!! Amazing, thanks for posting!!

[@stealthcopter7398]

beautiful demo 👌 this brings the behringer 2600 quite high on my list of "want to have" hardware synthesizers 😁

[@dennyaudio]

The 4012 filter "does it" for me! I have mine patched into my 'small sound system' (being a former FOH engineer who owned a sound company), using a pair of 'Renkus-Heinz' 12" two way 300W (each) powered speakers bi-amped with two subs - EV design "Thiele" TL-606 subs w/ EV-15L speakers. ( and yes - I have no neighbors close by me either.) I have wanted to get an ARP 2600 since first hearing this fantastic synth when it first came out. Now, I have it - with the B2600 - and have "paired" it with the Pittsburgh Modular SV-1b. (Talk about "slammin' low end")! Love it! Thank you for your videos! Much appreciated!

[@TehSpudz0r]

That third patch "Duo Mode v2" mwah, absolutely sold it for me. Such range from soft'n'sweet to gritty and in your face.

[@jarenfeeley3956]

this is my favorite video of the 2600, thank you so much for your skill and presentation

[@paulburkhart2619]

Not interested in actually buying it, but these patches sound incredible.

[@LesterH25]

6:55 that’s lovely and very clever.

[@MOOTANT1]

A very awesome synth. This is the type of instrument that will take years to find out all the sweet spots.

[@Meteotrance]

That gritty and smooth Juice from the osc en filtrer are lovely, i love odyssey hardware replica too and the software version from arturia too, but this 2600 is really another beast, for making progressive filtered sequence on trance music it's a must have.

[@nizer7147]

What a beast. Not to mention at a price lower than some eurorack modules. Killer demo and great melodies thanks for sharing!

[@nizer7147]

the melody at 7:48 is awesome. Screams of deadmau5 but is awesome on it's own!

[@TheTerracide]

Deadmau5 is such a hero... His progression are so incredible. Great there are midifiles floating around to use for things like these patches

Had mine for about two weeks now and still scratching on the surface, but love it so far ... it can produce some monster sounds as heard in this exquisite demo.

[@JonMurray]

2:54 sounded awesome to me man. As did this whole video! Love it mate ✌🏻

[@Wasserspeier07]

Nice demo. BTW, can you use different colours for the patch cables? Or show more of the lower part of the picture? That makes it easier to patch the sound.

[@StarskyCarr]

Yeah... I realised they weren’t visible after recording. It’s all pretty basic tbh. Patching mainly different VCO shapes... but point taken. I didn’t photo these either which is annoying as I could’ve posted the images.

[@thombroom5515]

amazing arps starts at 3:28....Lost Frequencies ...here we come.... Thanks Starsky...you made me fall in love with this piece

[@AdamSpade]

I have the ODDY and I concur. It is not the original. Behringer has its own sound, and it is different, but it sounds great.

[@justinbeck8459]

Ya, the original sounds darker and has a bit more detail in the high end resonance (to my ears at least)

[@mattierenton701]

one word and that word is "luuuuush" OMG im a sucker for that dreamy synth Deadmau5 sound

[@LarsBjerregaard]

MAN that sounded good! Analog bliss 🙏👏

Thank you Starsky I'm going to order one for myself great sounds mate 👍

[@jamiemorgan4146]

Really nice ! When I studied at Berklee, we had 2 original 2600’s ( knobs and patch chords ) . Loved playing with it.

[@StarskyCarr]

there's something really tweak able about it once you've got a sequence or arpeggio up and running.

[@greg-hunter]

Duo Mode v2 patch is tremendous! Very impressed with this video. She will be mine!

Can you maybe explain the first a little more in a future video, or comment? That first patch brought tears of joy via my ears.

[@TheDavidPoole]

Lovely sounds. Thank you. I'm in the sad position of having had this synth, along with the Bodyssey, Neutron, Crave, Deepmind 12 and TD-3 for a couple of months ( thank you pension), but they are sitting in their boxes until some work is finished in the house so I can have somewhere to set them up. I keep getting one or two of them out every so-often to have a play, but the wife and kids moan about me taking up room. I can't wait to get the 2600, neutron, TD-3 and crave all talking to each other with CV/Gate. That is going to be HUGE! Maybe you could do something along those lines. That would help ease my suffering 🙏.

[@blueworm99]

How is your new synth cave?

[@TheDavidPoole]

Don't ask! Still not there yet, but I'm hoping to have something sorted by the summer. I might even put up a video when it's done 😮 I will say that, since my original post, i have added the 2600, RD-6, Wasp, euphoria UMC 1820 and ADA 8200, and am desperately trying not to buy an RD-9. I also like the look of the Edge (DFAB?), But might wait for the almost inevitable "Bubharmonicom". I used to have an MC202 TR 606 and TR626 which I am sad not to have anymore, but I hear that Behringer are aiming to do a 202 clone which I must have for reasons. Now I have the Wasp Deluxe, I could get rid of the binbag containing all the bits to my old EDP Wasp, but I still might get around to fixing it. Maybe get a Kiwisix for my old Polysix too. God, writing this down I think the wife may actually do me in 😀

@StarskyCarr , you just sold me a 2600. Was a toss up between this and the Poly D, I think you've demonstrated wonderfully the expansive capabilities that far exceed that of the Poly D. Thank you so much! This vid is some fantastic work mate! Perhaps one question if I may - the Grey Meanie is said to have an actual real spring reverb - you think I should wait or does this one do the job?
