I beg to differ. The real synth icon here on this channel is Daniel Fisher. This man is a mountain of knowledge and skill-sets that today's musician-scientists are still discovering to this today.
I've always wanted an Arp 2600. It's been on some of my favourite records and soundtracks and it's one of the few synths that has always been relevant since it came out and continuously used. It's definitely the most versatile in the sounds it's been used to create. I actually got the new 2600 M 3 weeks ago. It was great for 2 reasons, I decided to give up smoking to help save up for it.
Sounds really beautiful, and nice composition for the piece at 12:20, Daniel! Sadly, at $400+ above the originally announced price of $1,799, I think I'll stick with my Matriarch and Boomstar 4075, which are also beautiful sounding and feature-rich synths. It's a "golden age" of synths!
Nice to see a Korg electribe sampler (“e2s”) in the mix 😄. I got one from SW in early 2017. Still has features and specs that I wish were available on SP404mkii or Digitakt, etc.
What astonishes me most is that there almost is only a low pass filter. We have other filters : high pass, high shelf, low shelf, band pass, band reject, Formant, comb, waveshaping, resonator and possibly more. Please include some of them in your design :-)
There’s all these sample makers who give FaceTime classes to people on how to “make music” I wish there was some synth guys who could offer classes like that for synthesis.
What cables and interface are you using to record this? No one has talked about what way to capture the beauty of this instrument most accurately. Great video.
Why wouldn’t they at least sell a keyboard for it if they don’t include one? Even the full size came with a keyboard. I’ve found it’s very hard to find a board that’s the exact same length as this unit to kind of mimic the look of the original system.
Hi Misterrorschch. The keyboard in this video is the Korg microKEY-37: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/microKEY237--korg-microkey-37-keyboard-controller -_Daniel_
If I could manage to put the 2600M into my budget (it’s never easy when you’re strictly out of pocket), my imagination tells me that I could do what I’ve done with my other analog synthesizer modules and control it from my master keyboard (a Yamaha S90XS) that Sweetwater sold me. Instinctively, that would appear to make more sense than to use the bundled keyboard that ships with it. Thoughts?
Hi Chandeleer Jet. I'm sending separate Pitch CV signals to each of the three Oscillators, allowing each to have their own independent pitches. But it's still considered a Monophonic synth because all three Oscillators go to the same Filter and Amp. -_Daniel_
The Korg 2600M which costs almost 4 times as much as the Beheringer 2600, so I think a lot of us would like to know what the differences are. Also would like to see comparisons between these and the various VST models of the 2600 from Arturia, Cherry Audio, and WayOut software version which Alan R Pearlman himself was involved with.
The Behringer has more waveforms and pulse width modulation on VCO 3. It also has sync on VCO 2 and VCO 3. It also has the LFO and other goodies from the original 2600 keyboard. It doesn't have speakers. The layout is somewhat different from the Korg. And it costs WAY less than the Korg. That wouldn't mean anything if the Behringer didn't sound great, but it DOES sound great.
@@classicarcadeamusementpark4242 I have the Behringer and the Arturia VST. The Arturia sounds good and includes an ARP sequencer, but you can't TOUCH it like you can a physical instrument. Mapping a MIDI controller to it helps, but it's still not the same.
@@jimolinger3149 Does the Behringer sound less authentic to the original sound than the Korg? I'd imagine there has to be some reason for the huge price difference. Or is the build quality worse maybe?
@@jimolinger3149 I have the Arturia and I like it. I agree having that layout would be nice. However, I do love presets and not having to take extra stuff to gigs. I have plenty of controls I can map. Still, I'd love play a 2600 in that form factor. Just looks like more fun than a lot of other hardware instruments vs the software counterparts. Seems like the 2600 would be a good one to have in hardware.
Hi fromorf (Mork, is that you?) It's a 4-octave downward arpeggio coming from the KeyStep PRO. The Arp has gentle, short notes that are going into a Source Audio Nemesis Delay set to Digital Stereo Ping Pong. Hope that helps. -_Daniel_
Like movie making, synth manufacturers recycle the original designs and release the sequel. All of the old famous synths remade and reissued, Arp, Moog, Sequential, Oberheim, hey and now throw in a $15,000 special order and decked out hand made Rhodes, if you can get one! It would be possible to build a modern studio that looked 100% vintage with all of the classics remade.
@@NTRSN-Archive because it's fun, and caters to a market that's less interested in synths that play themselves and moreso being able to play them with keys also there's only 1 Pro Soloist VST and it's 32-bit so I can't run it
Hi icasraf. It's "Pano Tuner" on my iPhone. My son, a guitarist for the US Army Band, recommended it to me because it works well even in noisy environments. -_Daniel_
All of them have the same sound and ability. So really in reality all synths are becoming the same. At least add an option to save the patches you struggle to create for days otherwise it’s waste of my $2500. I made a new rule. Not buying unless I can save the sound I create. Thank you
This is your chance to own a synth icon! Thanks for watching 🔥

DOUBLE WICKED, PAUL!
That intro is incredible! This is how a synthesizer should sound.
Absolutely one of a kind. I was sold by that intro alone. This is one of the best sounding synths, if not, the best, I've ever heard.
Superb demo. Clearly someone who knows how to handle these classic synthesizers.
Daniel Fisher the OG, I always click when I see his face. Sounds great!
I keep telling myself I don't need this, and then I watch this video, beautiful sounds, this was a great sounding live set, shame you stopped !
A new presentation and performance from Daniel 👌 Always a killer.
You really have the ability to increase everyone's GAS, sir. Very well done! 😃

Another good synth is the Roland SE-02, very rich sound, portable and Fat.

Man I love it when you demo synths. Thank you.
Daniel is on another level
Amazing demo.
One day I’m going to invent my own synthesizer

Korg ARP 2600 Perfect Sound 💯🤍🪶💞💚🔶️🌟🌠.
Great jam at the end! Very nice
great performance.
i guess our musical skills are behind what technology can offer
they definetly went ham with the pricetag
I´m glad there´s not one single piano sound in it.
Can someone tell me what is that thing that looks like the moog studio 3 but has sides to it ?????
Nice I wish I had the 💵 💵 to buy one.
Does it have the exact same circuitry as the full size?
What cables and interface are you using to record this? No one has talked about what way to capture the beauty of this instrument most accurately. Great video.
It doesn’t really matter…
Wow 😍😍😍🤩

I can’t tell if this is playing mono when he hooks up the drum machine. That doesn’t sound like just a mono synth

How does it compare to the Behringer?
Woah, Korg costs a lot more.
I like the Behringer because it's pretty. Lousy excuse to buy a synth, but enh.
The Korg 2600M which costs almost 4 times as much as the Beheringer 2600, so I think a lot of us would like to know what the differences are.

Are those back in stock?
then they say that there is no difference between vst and hardware. Listen how real that sounds.
Hi Ricardo. You should have heard it in the video studio. -_Daniel_
Hi. can you tell me how did you made the very first patch
Hi fromorf (Mork, is that you?)
It's a 4-octave downward arpeggio coming from the KeyStep PRO. The Arp has gentle, short notes that are going into a Source Audio Nemesis Delay set to Digital Stereo Ping Pong. Hope that helps.

Hi Ricky. They've really eased off over the past ten years. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
You’re out of your league Donny
it would be cool if Korg did a recreation of the ARP Pro Soloist
Yes please!
Why the Pro Soloist ?
@@NTRSN-Archive Listen to any Genesis record from the 70's and you will know. It had its own sound and it was fantastic.
@@NTRSN-Archive because it's fun, and caters to a market that's less interested in synths that play themselves and moreso being able to play them with keys
also there's only 1 Pro Soloist VST and it's 32-bit so I can't run it
AND the keyboard had after touch making it a very expressive synth.
Yím sold… on a Behringer gray ARP
Well that was a tangled mess. Thanks Daniel!
Gotta' love modular spaghetti. -_Daniel_
What are some of the best hardware sequencers to check out that I could use with My Arp 2600 m?
Arturia and korg
Five12 Vector
Which interesting App for tuner are you using?
