OK, i’m moving on. A couple days back, i watched this video done by Daniel Fisher, whom i like watching, he’s good at pulling out both the detail and the essence of what a product is about. I remember his demonstration of the Hydrasynth, done early on, and he ‘got’ it. Similarly he’s done one here. This video is a little older, February 8th, but he shows what the B2600 is about — how you should approach it, and how it can be used. The whole Gestalt of the 2600.
I fortunately was able to have the original ARP 2600 as my first synth, and this video was nice in that it helped me remember a little of learning how to understand what the 2600 could do. Behringer, and the people they had to engineer this product did a good job of capturing what made the original special. (My opinion.)
This video runs a little over 28 minutes, but for the most part it moves along. Don’t expect a lot of musical content. What there is here is more on the side of “experimental”.
As i posted earlier the Arturia KeyStep Pro makes a good companion for the 2600, with its separate CV channels and separate arpeggiators, and Fisher shows the combination well. I already have a Novation SLM3 which would work, but i am thinking in this application the KSP might make more sense, perhaps even being solely devoted to that purpose.
