ARP 2600

The ARP 2600 is a legendary semi-modular analog synth, and KORG’s software recreation captures its quirky character with obsessive accuracy. Using proprietary CMT technology, it reproduces the original’s distinctive waveforms, filters, envelope shapes, and even patch panel behavior—so the 100 patches from the official ARP 2600 Patch Book sound authentic. Beyond preservation, KORG modernized it with a second filter, drive section, new modulation sources, MIDI control, a sequencer, and up to 16-voice polyphony. Its left-to-right signal path makes learning synthesis intuitive; cables are optional, and on-screen help guides every control. Color-coded silkscreen (or classic white-on-black) clarifies signal flow. Perfect for producers chasing classic basslines and leads heard on iconic tracks, and for anyone wanting a hands-on introduction to analog synthesis. It suits hobbyists and professionals alike who crave vintage tone with modern flexibility.
