the demo 'viders(?) green' was one of the nicest pads ive heard in years...

ive seen m5s go for loads too... i want one :sob:

2600's are nice but more a collectors/fanatics icon for the money they fetch

personally i don't like the upfront panel design as you get tired shoulders after a while but it does stay in tune and and is great for wild filter mod sounds, the ring mod is pretty tasty too

I use an midi modded M5 in conjunction with a home made 4 track and FL3 demo running on a commodore PET

i ended up selling my Arp2600 for an m5, my shoulders were hurting way too much. sounds totally different from the arp2600 but it's sicker

i was being facetious

i love the arp 2600, it's pretty much the most orgasmic synthesizer i've had the pleasure of using. Previously i had only used emulations of it, the real thing is just so raw and amazing. The high frequency modulations it can do are unparalleled. The Arturia emulation comes pretty close for most things but not that insanely high pitched but pleasurable harmonic stuff the real thing i capable of. I've played with buchlas, ems, serge modulars and for me personally, the arp2600 takes the cake. One day i want to get the sequencer that was made for it but they are even rarer than the synth itself.

What a nice addition to any analog setup, can be hard to get your head around at first but very flexible and creative tool for the studio.

Must be one of the best hardware sequencers ever build and its common market value reflects its quality.

They are rare, pricey but worth while the investment and "do great" sequencing you 2600 or other Arp.

Once owned 2 at once, you can have one sequencer control your Arp synth and the other one controlling your 1st sequencer..WILD RESULTS. This Sequencer can even oscillate on its own when you crank up the speed...

is yours 'thump' free dude?
