The ARP 2600 synthesizer has been expertly updated for the modern era, preserving its legendary sound and distinctive character while expanding its sonic capabilities. This instrument goes beyond a simple reissue by combining the original’s unique tone with contemporary enhancements, creating a synth that respects its heritage and pushes creative boundaries. The faithful recreation of the classic signal path includes the iconic oscillators and switchable 4012 and 4072 filter types, complete with subtle analog imperfections that add warmth and depth, achieved through advanced modeling and multiple saturation points.

Building on the original’s groundbreaking design, this version incorporates popular modifications such as oscillator sync and ADSR time scaling, alongside features from the 2600 FS reissue like an arpeggiator and expanded controller options. New additions include a Mode-Sweep Filter inspired by the SEM, advanced modulation tools like a looping DAHDSR envelope and auxiliary LFO, and a two-lane Motion Sequencer for dynamic sound movement. Enhanced patching flexibility allows complex routing with insert points and voltage processors, while comprehensive MIDI integration offers extensive control through a 30-slot modulation matrix and direct mapping.

The classic spring reverb is faithfully represented and complemented by a suite of 31 high-quality effects, ranging from vintage pedals and amps to modern delays and reverbs, elevating the sound palette. The intuitive layout features a clear signal flow and color-coded silkscreens to facilitate learning and experimentation, with an optional classic design and on-screen help for every control. This synthesizer honors ARP’s influential legacy, combining vintage authenticity with innovative features to inspire musicians and sound designers alike.
