I love this! I’ve not heard the 2600 oscillators sound so aggressive. I’m saving for one of these and one of my concerns was that it might not be able to go very aggressive and roar, but this video has confirmed it will with specific patching. Good work
There are lots of cheap distortion pedals and plugins that can give your synth some extra aggression but on the 2600 it's easy because you can overdrive the preamp and filter/VCA as well.
I found it all but impossible to get the right spot for overriding the internal clock without lifting the normalled contact, as the tip of the jacks is v steep. My solution was to file a long taper on opposite sides of the tip, allowing for a more controlled position. It still requires care, but it's better than touch & hope :)
Interesting! Thanks for sharing! I can usually get it to work with a stackcable pretty reliably. It is touchy though. Might eventually mod my unit for a proper clock in to the switch.
Cool, I was wondering if this worked on the 2600m/FS. I don't know why it works but a half patched cable can be used on any of the mod inputs as an output as well. th-cam.com/video/Ve85IkMNoa8/w-d-xo.html This video explains it.
The proper solution here is adding a clock in for the electronic switch. This is a known mod for vintage 2600s and clones as well. It's a simple mod you can probably get a synth tech in your area to do the mod for not too much money. Maffez might have the mod documented on his site. As for a special cable this might be possible.
@@Bata9999 I was thinking that when you put in a plug halfway, the tip connects with the base. Therefor an adjusted cable could work. But what do I know. :)
I really thought I had an unusually deep grip on this synth...........you're opening up a world to me here. amazing vids.

@@Bata9999 Thank you 🙏🏻 ace I can’t wait. It’s a game of patience to get one

Wow this works on the 2600m too. Why does the half in patch cable do this?

@@Bata9999 Ah that's cool, thanks.
There should be a way to fix the need to put a plug in halfway in the ext. clock input. Maybe with a different plug or something. Anyone any ideas?

@@Bata9999 maybe crossing the polarity of a cable could work no?
@@3ertin I can't see why that would work. I think it would just change the phase.
