Does it have patch banks?

Surely it does?

Its fun to fiddle but its nice to have recall.

I don’t suppose they designed this for Eurorack compatibility?

That would really be something.

It should be compatible with Eurorack, with the ARP2600 having 1V/octave VCO sensitivity, Gate and Trigger are +10V, LFOs can be unipolar or bipolar, 10V swing, depending on mode.

Note added, from Korg website: "Needless to say, these patchable connections and the onboard processors can be used to interact with nearly any modular or Eurorack synthesizer system."

Ah, you're right. I'm drooling a little. Part of my mind is toying with selling off some Euro modules to fund one of these...

There are TWO flightcases. One for the ARP2600, and one for the keyboard. Either that, or one flightcase with a slot for the keyboard.

So the synth has it's own tolex case, the keyboard has its on tolex case, and then BOTH of those cases go into a FLIGHT CASE that come with wheels. Just got off the phone with SW and they verified it, i'm just blown away. When the previews rolled it out, i just thought that was part of the drum roll, i never thought that the silver FLIGHT CASE on wheels came with it.

My Studio's getting tight, so this mobile flight case on wheels stand, it just what the Dr. Frankenstein ordered ... Smile

As a creation I love what Korg is doing - the love for synths comes through and all those working there in R&D as well.

Same feeling about Arturia MatrixBrute - it's just incredible piece of work.

And in itself good moneys worth for those that feel ARP2600 price tag is out of range. And it has preset storage - very clever approach with the electronic mod matrix - each of 16 sources and with own amount control 16 destinations. Also has 12 or something patch bay, but not sure if compatible with Korg trigger/sync standard.

Just read carefully the Korg description. You will see there is no preset storage available : https://www.korg.com/us/products/synthesizers/arp2600_fs/

That text referred to MatrixBrute as a comment, sorry if my english is that bad.

Physical cables are kind of difficult to make storage for, unless just sampled and stored at the time of save. Seems Korg went retro all the way and nothing is modernised in the reissues.

The way MatrixBrute did mod matrix it's all electronic and you make connections and get a lit button. The active buttons to adjust amount will blink - this feel modern. MatrixBrute is voltage driven where it has to.

If to do a remake - I would have adjusted all connections to be electronic and allow preset storage. Yes, it would not be total replica of original - but way much more useful. By magnitudes with preset storage/recall.

I saw a video from retro analog gear where they had massive patch bays that were driven by relays - to accomodate by simple command to switch connections of cables.

We have this kind of feature in modern floor boards for guitar pedals - where you even can change order of pedals between presets. So that could be a way to go - if it could handle many inputs to any outputs - which I did not see yet. For guitar it's basically one in to one out to amp in the end.

But maybe some developers will follow with making such a product - but it won't fix position of analog knobs - so maybe not.

I think ARP2600 will probably make a mark anyway - but retro only goes so far....like Keith Emerson having one setup of his Moog to do a few things on a set. But guitarplayers build these walls of speaker cabinets on stage - why shouldn't keyboard players. Wink

Premium price, but then again it’s a premium package, really well done.
Knowing KORG they will probably release other (cheaper) versions of the 2600 at a later date.
