[@tuknchuk]

You EXCELLENT delivery (storyline/production/intrigue created) did NOT go unnoticed. That was also super fun and well done. Thanks for all of your effort. BRAVO !!!

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks a lot.

[@garaughty]

Such a beautiful beast... excellent demo/overview !

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks Marti!

[@LocaliLLocano]

Didn’t know it comes with a road case. That’s definitely a good deal

[@OllieLoops]

Yeah. The hard case is a nice bonus!

[@mastaboog749]

gotta love tuning your oscillators! cool video

[@OllieLoops]

Get them tuned right!

[@EZBOT_]

This is awesome 😎

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks EZ!

[@MortChud]

That was definitely UPS delivering that package.

[@OllieLoops]

Haha.

[@plok3433]

Honestly this is why you should buy this brand new I wish I had that manual you are finding all those patch-bay techniques. Is there one online ?

[@OllieLoops]

Yes, search “ ARP 2600 Patch book”. Have fun!

[@mikemeengs5720]

A test A440 tone generator should be included on all the 2600 clones. Just sayin'...

[@OllieLoops]

Agreed.

[@jsieb]

It's pronounced Arp as in "harp", even their own promotional videos pronounce it as such. Great video though, it's a fun synth! 😊 I was waiting for the obligatory R2-D2 patch.. 😂

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks for letting me know.

[@mikemeengs5720]

I've never heard that in my life.

[@joelizquierdo8624]

I’d say that when you sample a synthesizer, you’re not using it to its fullest potential. Somehow the song sounds limited on dynamics. The best way is to record the whole track live. Great job though 🎹

[@OllieLoops]

Thanks for your comment.

[@sarkany888]

Honestly, I've yet to hear anything amazing from hardware synths. Don't get me wrong, I would love to fall in love with some gear that's special, but so far plugins like serum and infiltrator just kill the race with their versatility for me.

[@OllieLoops]

Good points. Thanks for sharing.

[@LozMyKeys]

its down to personal preference really. Serum is great for super digital/wavetable/fm stuff but it lacks the charm and unpredictability of analogue gear

[@OllieLoops]

@@LozMyKeys I agree. It's personal preference. Some people like the accessibility of working with physical devices while others prefer the convenience of working in the box. There are no wrong answers.

[@XanderEwald]

Listen to any record from before 1995 then, because it’s all hardware. Nothing amazing there?
