"The ARP 2600 sounds awesome -even if you don't explore outside of the presets. It does tax your processor though, and quite heavily if you've got an ancient computer (two years or older). While the ARP 2600 may be a retro concept, Arturia's emulation sounds as futuristic as the original did when it came out. "
A fun example of speech made using the ARP 2600V. This is a great demonstration that shows just how versatile the ARP 2600V can be, and what a wide variety of sounds are hidden inside.
Three ARP2600 V have been used for this short sequence:
the rhythmic patern is played by the preset "Celmar Engel / Sequences / cheap Bossa" (an old analog rythme box like sounds)
A simple bass sound (JM.Blanchet/Basses/JMB_Bass_SubOsc) played in sequence with Cubase SX.
A warm pad sound based on the "C.Engel/Pads/ CE_RythmPad02", using a resonant low pass filter frequency swept by the MIDI synchronized sample and hold, and a slow sinus wave LFO.
A little groove sample track using 8 ARP2600 V on Sonar 4 All the drums sounds have been programmed with the ARP2600 V (you will find all these separated drums elements on the k.Lamb/Percussives bank)
A cheap 70'science fiction sound effects using five ARP2600V sequenced on Sonar 4 The famous Edgard Winter "Frankeinstein" sound has been used in the end of this track.
