KORG ARP 2600 M

Korg ARP 2600 M is a semi-modular analog synthesizer and a compact replica of the legendary ARP 2600, reduced to approximately 60% of the original size for improved portability. It retains the same analog circuitry and components as the ARP 2600 FS, faithfully reproducing the iconic ARP sound. Although it lacks a built-in keyboard, any compatible MIDI controller can be connected for full performance control.

The ARP 2600 M includes two filter types from the original ARP 2600 versions (Type 4012 and 4072), as well as a DIN MIDI IN port. Pitch bend, modulation on/off, and portamento can be controlled via MIDI CC messages (USB/DIN MIDI). With normalized trigger voltage (5V threshold at the S/H GATE JACK), it easily integrates with other modular gear. Additional enhancements include improved envelope attack/release times, stereo L/R jack outputs (replacing XLR), automatic speaker muting when headphones are connected, and smoother sliders.

The compact form factor simplifies patch visualization and allows for shorter patch cables. A high-quality soft case is included for transportation, along with AC adapter, patch cables, user manual, and an ARP sticker. Bonus bundled software includes iZotope Ozone Elements, Skoove, Reason Lite, and multiple KORG and partner synth plug-ins, making the ARP 2600 M a powerful, portable tool for analog synthesis enthusiasts.
