Arturia ARP2600 V: The Semi-Modular Sound Design Classic

The Arturia ARP2600 V brings back the legendary semi-modular synthesizer responsible for everything from Stevie Wonder's funk basslines to the voice of R2-D2. Offering an incredibly punchy sound and a brilliant hybrid of hardwired connections and free-patching cables, it is the ultimate playground for experimental sound designers and producers.

Semi-Modular Flexibility

The perfect balance of immediate playability and deep sound design:

• The Best of Both Worlds: The synth features a default, pre-wired signal path for immediate playing, but allows you to override any connection using virtual patch cables for endless experimentation.
• Three Powerful Oscillators: Three distinct, highly stable VCOs provide a rich foundation for aggressive sync leads, deep FM cross-modulation, and punchy bass.
• Voltage Processors and Multipliers: Utilize true modular utility modules like sample & hold, ring modulation, and envelope followers to create complex, generative soundscapes.

Signature Filter and Tone

A distinct, aggressive sound that cuts right through the mix:

• The ARP Filter: Features an incredibly accurate model of the famous 24dB/octave low-pass filter, delivering a distinctly bright, snappy, and aggressive character compared to its Moog rivals.
• Spring Reverb: Includes a faithful emulation of the hardware's built-in mechanical spring reverb tank, perfect for adding vintage metallic grit and space to your sequences.
• Built-in Preamp: Emulates the external audio input and preamp, allowing you to process external drum loops and vocals through the ARP's filter and envelopes.

Advanced Sequencing and Polyphony

Enhanced with tools for modern rhythmic production:

• The 1601 Sequencer: Includes an exact replica of the companion ARP 1601 step sequencer, completely synced to your DAW for complex, interlocking rhythmic patterns.
• Tracking Generator: Draw custom LFO shapes and complex modulation curves that simply weren't possible on the physical hardware.
• Polyphonic Capability: Break the monophonic barrier and play the ARP 2600 as a massive polyphonic synthesizer, transforming harsh leads into warm, modulating chords.
