My High School music department had one in the 70s. I used to get stoned in the woods out back with my friends and then spend two late class periods back to back doing "extra-curricular studies" in that synth room. My first experience of really freely creating music and improvising was not on my guitar or on our piano. It was on the Arp. I LOVED THAT THING SO MUCH that seeing this video has me all choked up.

My entire life I wanted a ARP 2600 but never could afford one. Now I have a modular setup that tops the 2600 ten fold but would still love to have a 2600 sitting in my studio just because it is a classic synth. All R2D2 sounds were done on a Arp 2600.

[@phillytee9106]

I think it has featured on a lot of sci-fi films in the late 70's and early 80's it's great for making bleepy/laser fx sounds as far as I've seen on other videos.

[@SleutelbosMusic]

Well, good news: Korg is about to release a full-size version Q1 2020, and Behringer is about to release a rack-sized clone later in 2020. :)

[@klaasj7808]

In the early eighties you could get this cheap, the stores were annoyed by the shitload of space that analog crap from the seventies took. A friend of mine got one and still has it, and not this late model but the blue one. the real deal.

[@DestroyER82]

This and CS-30. Kings of monosynths! Amazing quality. Huge warmth/character in VCO's and sweet & musical VCF.

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

The coolest thing about this video demo is that it’s inspiring me to use my Odyssey reissue more frequently. Got to give a salute for your MJ reference at the end.

[@phillytee9106]

Wow that ARP 2600 looks minty fresh! Someone has looked after that synth well or refurbed it. I wonder if Korg/ARP will ever remake this beast of a mono the same way they remade the ARP Odyssey. The reverb sounds really nice, not as dirty as I thought it would sound. 😀😎🤘👍

“Which one is your favourite analogue synthesizer?“ YES!

[@BlackburnBigdragon]

My absolute favorites are the old Buchla synths and Moog Modulars. You can really go crazy experimenting with the sounds those generate.

[@EphemeralProductions]

hard to believe the last one of these was made in 1981. Even all this time later it is still a very formidable synth, and still in HOT demand!

[@matthewdotson2186]

I always assumed every badass synth lead I heard from the 70s was the Minimoog, but after listening to this, I now recognize this synth on a ton of songs! Summer Madness by Kool and the Gang, Space Intro by Steve Miller Band. ...or maybe that was the Arp Odyssey. Close enough!

[@torque91]

This video brought to mind Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein" so I had to go watch the video of his classic performance. Sure enough, that's an ARP 2600 keyboard he's wearing (and wearing out!!)

[@ReneeNme]

Um, I like to see Edgar Winter wear a ARP 2600 around his neck. Not possible. Unless he's looking for severe backaches, that is.

This makes my wallet think of the current Korg Arp Odyssey, though I don't know if there's much comparison. I agree with the synth lovers below who are asking for a review of a VCS3.

[@shaft9000]

I've a Tonus-logo 2600 and a Solus - which is akin to a mk3 Odyssey minus a noise gen and the AR envelope. The Oddy is a rippin' duo/para-phonic fun machine with some outstanding lead, bass, spacey/wild fx and split-"voice" playability. It is a killer instrument and for starter synth I'd get one before just about any Moog as a proper analog mono. A 2600 is a whole other deal - not just an instrument it's a portable laboratory; a labyrinthine swiss-army knife of studio-synthesis AND copious (for 1970) signal processing, with a peerless UI. It can do 10x as much, really. (btw, Mr Mix doesn't know the 2600 very well in this viddy. lol)

The ARP 2600 is highly regarded, but I don't get the appeal. It only ever had a single ADSR, which severely limits the possible sounds. Many had substandard filters, noisy oscillators and reliability issues. It's really more of historical interest than anything else. If you want a fat-sounding classic from the 1970's, you're better off with a MiniMoog. If you really want a 2600, than the Arturia VST is better than the original.
