Thanks Ralph. I just spent 2 hours convinced the gate input to the ADSR was kaput and I was ready to take it to the bridge and throw it into the river.
Hey Ralph, thanks so much! I watched this before but got into the studio and had to come back. I feel like I've graduated from riding the kiddie horse straight to mounting the old Widowmaker. This synth is fantastic not only for its sound but for inspiring humility.
Hello there, good to know that my video was helpful to you. As a 2600 newbie you may also want to watch this video here, which shows some common beginner mistakes. th-cam.com/video/vQx88p4dutc/w-d-xo.html
Greetings, Ralph! First off let me thank you for your videos, they have been invaluable to me in leaning the 2600 and how it functions. I have a question if you don't mind? Could you explain what uses there are leaving the pre-wired connections and using the ADSR only (where the faders are in 2:46 of your video). It seems odd to me that they would pre-wire it this way when it sounds better overriding it and running the ADSR into the linear input instead of the exponential. I'm sure there is a reason they wired it this way, but I can't think of why! Thank you again, looking forward to your next video!
It all depends what sound you are looking for. You can swap the linear and exponential slot as you wish according to the sound you are going to design. What sounds better or not is very subjective. Greetings and thanks for watching my content, Ralph
@@RalphBaumgartl Thank you for your reply, I will explore the exponential slot for the ADSR and see what sounds I can make! Perhaps in a future video you can show some sounds that use the exponential slot for the ADSR 🙂 Thanks again, and all the best!
I definitely found my B2600 rather confusing at first, and these videos have really been a great help in understanding it. I'm having a great time with it, thank you.
Thanks for watching my video. Please bear in mind that you can also "combine" the exponential and linear behavior, but that's totally up to you and what kind of sound you are going for. Greetings, Ralph
Great to see you Ralph my freind. Interesting video as always from you. Myself, I've never needed to use the AR. I always use the ADSR. But nonetheless, it's interesting to know. Thanks my friend.
HA ha Ralph i was that person! Thanks for the in depth explanation. I love the synth, its everything i expected and more. Take care yourself. All the best!
This is definitely an issue that I’ve experienced when using my (Korg) Odyssey clone. The major difference being, the Odyssey is a fully normalized performance synthesizer; you cannot override any of the hardware patch settings using cables. It was worth taking a look at, anyway.
Behringer cloned the ARP's quirks as well as their gifts. I have a friend that says there are mods that you can apply to the 2600 to change this behavior, but its unknown if the Behringer will be capable of being similarly modified.
Hello Tony, thanks for your comment! Yes, I have heard that Behringer has cloned the"bugs" as well. Do you know how that is with the Korg ARP 2600 FS and Mini?
The Gate Out of the Pro1 triggers the AR and ADSR provided that you make the connection via the S&H Gate of the B2600. I am not familiar with the Pro1. You need a +10V Gate Out. Sometimes a lesser Gate Voltage may also work but only if the spike at the beginning of the Gate is high enough. Greetings, Ralph
Same here. Having trouble triggering the ADSR from anything I've tried in my Eurorack rig. Like Ralph says, I think because it's less than 10 V (5V gates are common).
Nice tutorial Ralph 👍🏼 I have the Behringer Odyssey (my favorite synth). Should I order the 2600 Black / Orange or the Green/Blue one ? Many thanks from France
That depends if you like a spring reverb. The Gray Meanie and Blue Marvin feature a spring reverb whereas the standard B2600 has a digital reverb. Greetings, Ralph
Hi, I know nothing about the ARP2600 but I like its sounds! I only have an Arturia VST emulator of it with decent enough sound though I could imagine not like the real thing. I was trying to find a patch I really, really like that was close to a track I have that is in my favorite record album by the name of Blue Marvin. This whole album was made with a real ARP2600. It is of an Italian origin by a genius named Alberto Baldan Bembo. The track's name is 'Release Time'. The closest patch I could find that is used in the lead of this track I like is named 'Spacey' in the Arturia ARP2600 V. However, I need to tweak the Attack for this patch but found that trying to adjust the A (Attack) knob did nothing. I just couldn't find how I could possibly do this so tried to find some videos on youtube for a tutorial and bumped into your channel. Thank you for this video I'm willing to try and do what you've done here with the hope that Arturia's 2600 V has the same controls and inputs and outputs as the real thing. I will also be following all your video tutorials of the ARP2600. My last question is, is it worth buying a modern recent reproduction of the real instrument and what should one go for if its worth?
IMHO the current 2600 clones offer very good value. As you can see from my videos I have opted for the Behringer version. You have to decide for yourself if the hardware version of the 2600 Synths is going to improve your workflow or is going to inspire your creative process. That's a question which every artist has to answer for him/herself. Greetings, Ralph
Ralph, I got my 2600 a couple of weeks ago - got my Arturia Keystep today. I can trigger sounds when the oscillators are in the steady drone state, but when that's off I'm getting nothing. I think what you just showed here will fix it - if not, can you make a step by step video showing how to connect the Arturia via MIDI cable and set the 2600 to produce sounds?
Hi there, do you have any issues connecting the Keystep to the B2600 via Midi? The process is actually quite essy: Keystep Midi Out to B2600 Midi In and make sure you set the Midi Channels correctly.
Ralph. I understand what ADSR does and how it functions but I have never seen a synth which also has AR like the B2600. Why is AR there in the first place? Is it need when there already is ADSR? Is it used in conjunction with the ADSR or by itself? I do not fully understand the concept of why it is there? Peter.
Hello Peter, the AR is actually an AS(Sustain as long as the key is pressed)R envelope. For certain patches this might be enough of an envelope that you need. Please note that on the 2600 Synth the prewired setting for the VCA envelopes is AR in linear mode and ADSR in exponential mode. You can combine them according to your sound design intentions. Cheers, Ralph
That's totally up to you and depends on the sounds you want to create. I personally like to combine the two envelopes. It gives certain sounds more punch. Try dabbling with different Time Factor settings of the AR/ADSR (Behringer) in combination with the linear and exponential curve....
Cool stuff Ralph! Regarding ARP 2600 quirks, do you know why some patches in the ARP patch book connects an output to another output? Are those just mistakes or are they taking advantage of some hidden circuit anomaly on the 2600?
@@RalphBaumgartl I can only find one of them now, so maybe there's only one. On patch 23, Ceremonial Gong, VCO1 saw out is connected to VCO3 saw out? 🤔
@@Neumah I don't have my patch book with me at the moment, thus I cannot look at the entire patch. But I suppose that's a printing/authoring error. The SAW output of the VCO1 should go into the FM control Input of VCO3. Greetings, Ralph
Thanks for watching! I suppose you may be located in the US. I have heard of US customers who have ordered their B2600 synth from Thomann in Germany and have received their unit within days. Perhaps this might be an option for you if the wait drags on for too long ;-) (I am not affiliated with Thomann in any way. I am just a customer myself) Greetings, Ralph
@@RalphBaumgartl Quite true - the primary reason for my hesitation. When compared to free shipping from Sweetwater/Musician's Friend/Amazon/etc., up to now, I've opted to wait. Occasionally I look at Thomann but after I see the surcharges, I tend to shy away. 😧
Ralph: Can one use a ribbon controller with the Barp? I just got a Gray Meanie Barp, been using my Arturia KeyStep, but wonder about a ribbon controller as an alternative using the portamento feature.
Hello Sean, the volume behavior of the exponential curve (ADSR) is very different to the linear curve. If this feature is useful to you depends very much on the kind of sounds you want to create.
@@RalphBaumgartl I understand the difference between linear and exponential ADSR curves. What I meant was: why wasn't the exponential slider normalized so that a larger portion of it could be used at the top end? Also: normally ADSRs are exponential in *rate* by nature; what is the ADSR function actually outputting if it can be mapped to either an exponential or linear curve after the fact through the VCA slider? Very odd.
@@seanluke3052 I personally like to mix the AR (linear) and ADSR (exponential) on VCA. On some of my patches this combination gives me more punch. But this is my personal feeling and what seems to work for me. That's the beautiful thing about modular Synths. You just patch what works for you....
@@seanluke3052 one more thing: on the B2600 you can make use of the Time Factor Switch for the AR and ADSR. Just dabble with these settings in combination with the exponential and linear response on the VCA, and see if that works for you....
Hi I follow your videos I really like them, can I ask you I've got a behringer odyssey can I connect it with mind with the 2600 it's coming tomorrow I hope thanks 👍🎼
Hello Gino, just start by connecting the Odyssey and 2600 via Midi. In that case you can use the Keyboard of the Odyssey to play notes on the 2600. Greetings, Ralph
I've had this synth for under a year, bought second hand working perfectly. I have noticed a new issue in where it sounds like the sustain/release sliders are not doing their job in the ADSR section. the AR section seems to work as normal but when I raise the release slider, a note continuously sounds. Wherever the decay slider is positioned, it seems to produce a continuous note if a key is held down. Even if I am using the prewired ADSR connection, still the Decay acts like Sustain and Release initiates a drone note. All these problems persist regardless of the initial gain or VCF control. Any help or insight greatly appreciated.
@@RalphBaumgartl It does indeed persist on all Time Factor settings. Weirdly, If I raise the release straight to the top, the sound swells in relative to the time factor and then sustains. I've also updated the firmware but it made no difference. I had a look on the inside and nothing looks unusual. Thank you for your insight 👍
@@coolguy-sixtynine6863 as I mentioned earlier, I have never experienced this kind of behavior on any of my B2600's nor on my original ARP 2600. At this point I would ask a technician to have a look.
