The ARP 2600 went from educational concept to rock ‘n’ roll icon, and was the sound of both R2-D2 and Edgar Winter’s “Frankenstein.”

A modular synth in a suitcase, the 2600 immediately appealed to musicians. You could patch it like crazy, but didn’t need to. Its versatile sound became a favorite of Stevie Wonder, Josef Zawinul, Tony Banks of Genesis, Martin Gore of Depeche Mode, and many more. Combining True Analog Emulation® signature authenticity with vastly expanded features, ARP 2600 V is designed to become one of your favorites too.

To Patch or Not To Patch
Like the original, ARP 2600 V has a normalled signal path. Get great sounds right away or experiment with patch cables – it’s up to you!

Essential Ingredient
Whatever your musical style, something you do will call for the inimitable sound of the 2600. You may as well have the best software emulation there is.

Modular Mentor
With a left-to-right layout that follows signal flow, there’s no better way to learn the fundamentals of synthesis than with ARP 2600 V.

All Bases Covered
Combining modular freedom, easy sequencing, and real-time keyboard performance controls, ARP 2600 V is an instant gratification machine – you’ll lose yourself in no time.

It Came From Outer Space
Alan R. Pearlman designed electronics for NASA. His passion for music soon sent a new kind of synthesizer into orbit. It was this passion, combined with his engineering expertise, that led him to found ARP Instruments. ARP not only built some of the most complex and coveted synths of their time; the name left a lasting impact on the world of synthesis, contemporary music, and even cinema.

By 1968 Pearlman had already helmed and sold a successful company that made operational amps based on his aerospace work, but became interested in building electronic instruments after hearing that a certain famous synth brand had issues with temperature and tuning. His own early designs proved more stable, inspiring him to press forward.

In 1969 Pearlman and David Friend formed Tonus, later rebranded as ARP after Pearlman’s initials. Their first product was the 2500, a large modular system that used a matrix of sliders instead of patch cables.

A Masterpiece of Interface Design
It may look complex, but everything about the 2600 was intended to teach synthesis concepts and get you creating sounds in record time. ARP 2600 V builds on this tradition first by duplicating the semi-modular flow of the original – patch cables optional. But click any patch point and all eligible points for the other end of the cable light up. That’s just the beginning.

The 2600 Goes to 11
ARTURIA’s exclusive improvements fit ARP 2600 V smoothly into your workflow and make it an ARP for all time. They thought very carefully about what to add to a synthesizer that got so much right on the first try. These decisions reflect a “superstock” approach; make it better with features that owners of the original would have scrambled for:

Vintage Sequencing
With a control-for-control reproduction of ARP’s classic 1601 sequencer included, you’ll be creating patterns for days.

A Polyphonic 2600 and More
The original 2600 was monophonic. ARP 2600 V supports polyphony up to 32 voices, with Unison mode for unbelievably huge sounds.

Secret FX
Add rich chorus and tempo-synced delay with the effects hidden just under the left “speaker.”

Tracking Generators
Create up to four custom curves and then patch any signal through them, adding to the 2600’s myriad modulation options.

Bonus LFO
Why tie up one of the main oscillators when all you need is an LFO? The one in ARP 2600 V is fully patchable and even syncs to master tempo.

Express Yourself
Patch velocity and aftertouch to any destinations for the most expressive ARP 2600 you’ll ever play.
