The Behringer 2600 brings the legendary ARP 2600 synthesiser within reach of every musician, offering an authentic recreation of the iconic 1970s circuitry at an ultra-affordable price point. This semi-modular powerhouse features genuine analog signal paths built with matched transistors and JFETs, staying true to the original design that shaped the sound of progressive rock, new wave, and synth-pop classics. With its triple VCO architecture and 83 patch points, the 2600 provides incredible flexibility for both beginners who can start making music immediately without patch cables, and advanced users who want to dive deep into modular synthesis.
The three VCOs form the heart of this instrument, each capable of producing square, triangle, saw, sine, or pulse waveforms, with any VCO switchable to LFO operation for modulation duties. The multi-mode VCF serves as both filter and VCO mixer, allowing seamless blending of all three oscillators while providing integrated resonance control and multiple routing options. This configuration opens up an impressive range of sonic possibilities, from thunderous bass lines to soaring leads and ethereal ambient textures.
Beyond the core synthesis engine, the 2600 includes a comprehensive suite of processing modules including ring modulator, lag processor, sample and hold, envelope follower, and a continuously variable noise generator. The built-in digital spring reverb adds spatial dimension to your sounds, while dual dedicated LFOs with pulse and sine outputs provide additional modulation sources. The ADSR and AR envelope generators feature a Time Factor switch offering x2, x1, or x0.5 scaling, giving you precise control over everything from percussive stabs to evolving atmospheric pads that capture the essence of classic electronic music.
