Happy patching! Ralph
Hi again Ralph! For a couple of years I’ve been putting together the system 100. I had a ring modulator on the Neutron, but I had the main modules of the 100, it worked but I used the Function Junction, plugged into the Neutron, Crave, and thepro1. Anyway I got enough money to finish the 100 and there were still 14 modules to buy! Some of them original some not. The ring module for the 100 is not but has an LFO Sample and hold, ring modulator I forget what else. It’s completely changed the sound and expanded it immensely! Then I got the 2600 and Wow! I can do almost anything! My FX of choice on this system is a Mooer stereo reverb and Raindrps (Dreadbox), and the Microcasm. Unbelievable sound! And I’m using several sequencers from Blackbox, IPad, Crave etc… this is an expensive hobby but so much fun and creative! The ring modulator is so cool! Ty for the video!
The system 100 is awesome! I used to own a couple of modules of the original Roland 100 system back in the 1980s. I sold it to finance my skiing passion...
This is a phenomenal series of videos. Really well done
Thank you very much! Glad you benefit from my content. Greetings, Ralph
Thanks again for another tutorial. My new Saturday morning routine, Coffee , a note book, my 2600, and a Ralph Video. All you tubers should watch one of your videos and take in how you present a topic. A pace that a student learning a new topic can follow and learn clearly how it works and not just mimic a patch. Cheers!
Hello Bill, thank you for this kind compliment. It's very rewarding to hear that my viewers especially like and appreciate my teaching style. Thanks again for your feedback and support! Greetings, Ralph
Nice one, Ralph! Another use I've found for the ring mod is to set it to DC mode and then connect two LFO sources (say, VCO 1 set to LF, and the sine output of the LFO). Depending on the frequencies of the LFOs you can create really gnarly complex LFO shapes that you can use to modulate anything you like - the filter cutoff, the VCO frequencies, the PWM, etc. Taking it further, you can modulate the pitch of VCO 1 with any other source to create even more complex waveforms. And if you switch the ring mod switch from DC to audio (or vice versa) you get different but interesting results.
Yes, the options are endless 😃 Thanks for watching and happy patching!
Ralph, your videos are invaluable, especially for understanding the bottom third of the B2600.
Thank you 🙏 I am glad that my videos are helpful to other artists and musicians. Greetings, Ralph
Please keep these coming! Your expertise is insightful and inspiring. You make it feel possible for me to truly understand this amazing instrument!
Thank you Kevin! I am glad that my tutorials help other artists to understand and learn the 2600 Synth. Greetings, Ralph
Arp2600 is my all time favorite synth,and I just have to get the grey meanie hopefully this yr,and since you know your way around it rather well,I subbed.🗽🛸
Many thanks for watching my content and for your support. Wishing you a great time with your forthcoming Gray Meanie!
Thanks again! Next!
Thank you Ralph!
Glad my video was helpful! Greetings, Ralph
Thanks again, Ralph. Another incredibly informative and enjoyable tutorial.
Thank you Chris 🙏
This is excellent stuff Mr. Ralph, great series, nice to see someone using all those jack plug sockets for a change. Looking forward to watching the whole set.
Thanks for your kind feedback! Three more episodes (modules/sections) to go and then the whole series covering all 2600 modules is complete. Greetings, Ralph
Another great video, thank you sir. I always learn something watching your videos. 🤠
Thank you 🙏 Always glad to teach other artists something.
Thank you❤
Thanks for this series! Your approach is much better for my learning style, than the “all module overview”. I’ll be getting more out of my Blue Meanie.
Blue Marvin; BLUE MARVIN! And I prefer the 0-Cyril for a keyboard+sequencer (I learned on a Buchla 100 back in the 70s (I’m old). I need to look into that Strymon; all music and no noise!
Thank you you! Glad that you like my way of teaching Synths.
Thank you for all you do for music. Your a legend. Danny UK✌✌
Thank you Danny! You flatter me ;-) but I am happy to be able to teach other artists something. Greetings from Germany, Ralph
I LOVE ! 🖤
Thank you once again!
You are welcome!
Day two with my new 2600. I can't thank you enough for these videos! They've certainly made my initial experience much more understandable and enjoyable! It took me 60 years to own one, and it's everything I've dreamed it would be...sound design heaven!
Subscribed.
Thank you Mike 🙏 I appreciate your feedback and your support. Greetings, Ralph
This is completely another universe.
Have fun exploring this universe 😉
Magnificent
Thank you for watching!
Hey Ralph! I've watched all of your B2600 videos and they got me into exploring sounds with analog synths. Thank you so much for making these :)
I've got a question about recording B2600. Is it better quality wise to record L/R cables into separate mono tracks or one L/R to a combined stereo track? Reverb in my B2600 sounds terrible when recorded with a stereo cable and I'm not sure if the issue is with my audio interface or cables.
Thanks for watching my videos. I am glad you find them helpful. I never had any issues with either Reverb connection. But usually I route the L/R outputs to Mono inputs on the mixer and set the panning to L and R respectively. Greetings, Ralph
Thanks again Ralph, all you videos are so usefull and well done. I have one question though : do you know if Behringer has plublished a complete user's manual ? In their website there is only a quick start guide available. Thanks you your answer.
Hello Fred, as far ad I know it's only the Quick Start Guide. Although the Gray Meanie and Blue Marvin include the Quick Start Guide in several languages. Greetings, Ralph
@@RalphBaumgartl Thanks a lot Ralph
Korg has the original 2600 manual and patch book on their web site. They are really, really good.
Lieber Ralph, danke für deine guten Erklärungen. Ich bin jetzt soweit, dass ich mir diesen schönen Synthesizer bestelle.
Ich habe nur noch eine Frage: Wie hast du das LPK25 mit dem 2600 verbunden? Mit einem einfachen Adapter (MiniUSB auf USB Buchse)?
Ich hab das LPK nämlich noch rumliegen... Vielen Dank!
Danke für das freundliche Feedback. Kommt immer auf die Situation an wie ich das LPK25 verbinde. USB Adapter Buchse oder über Computer/DAW. Viele Grüße, Ralph
@@RalphBaumgartl Danke, über DAW ist klar :) Ich wollte wissen, ob eine Direktverbindung ohne Rechner funktioniert. Beim Tasty Chips GR-1 geht das.
@@noisebureau7599 Habe es irgendwann mal direkt mit dem B2600 verbunden. Gibt aber meiner Meinung nach viel bessere Keyboard Controller für den B2600. Keystep oder Swing. Das LPK25 habe ich mir hauptsächlich als kleines mobiles Keyboard für den Rechner zugeglegt.
Since you seem to have more than one of these you should do a video were you patch between two of them!
Hi Daniel, I have already made some patches between the ARP 2600 and the B2600 in some of my videos. Greetings, Ralph
@@RalphBaumgartl Oh cool! I'll check it out thanks!
I see you are not the only synth player one who seems to like Strymon effects. I am interested in the tape echo. Is there a reason or thought on Strymon? thanks Ralph.
Hello Bill, I also checked the Eventide stuff but I personally predict the Strymon FX pedals. Greetings, Ralph
I have noticed that when I use both of the audio inputs on the VCA for the same signal, the the two inputs seem to be out of phase. This doesn't happen when patching two of the same signal into the filter. If I invert one of the signals, and put both in the VCA at the same level I hear two signals but if one is inverted when both are in the filter at the same level, they are out of phase. Does this make sense? I was just trying to overdrive the VCA and was wondering if the inputs of the VCA are meant to be that way or if maybe my 2600 is faulty.
Hello! I haven't tried this yet. Thus I am not really aware of any issues. As long as the signal is only phase inverted and doesn't cancel out other signals I don't see any problem with it.
@@Leviathan-mj8gi The L/R reverb channels are also phase inverted. As long as you route the L and R channels to a stereo output there's no problem.
@@Leviathan-mj8gi Behringer was staying true to the original ARP 2600 tech design. Of course the front panel is slightly different because it's in a smaller case and the LFO is not residing on the external keyboard. But generally the B2600 behaves like the original ARP 2600. And yes, you can route an external signal into the spring reverb.
@@Leviathan-mj8gi Happy patching! 😃
Dear Ralph, if possible; Can you make also a video about Portamento. What ever I try, it don't work for me. I use the B2600 with the Arturia Keystep 37 via CV gate.
Hello Hans, you have two options! Connect the Keystep to the B2600 via Midi. Then you can use Portamento right away without any further patching. If you connect the Keystep via CV/Gate then you have to use the Lag Slider in the Voltage Processor. I explain everything in this tutorial here

@@RalphBaumgartl thank you.
Hi ! Is it me or anybody can´t get these clean nice tones following exactly the same instructions you gave us Ralpgh. My one sounds ,much ,much dirtiy, it seems like I can´t tune that fine way and I sènd time tryn it... I´ ve read Grey and Blue have some better components, I´ve got the black/orange one.Could be this ? Thank you very much as allways !
Hello, and thanks for watching! I have all three B2600 versions and I am mostly using the Gray Meanie for my tutorials because the gray white front panel is better for video shooting. The difference in sound is very minor and only noticeable with certain patches. Greetings, Ralph
@@RalphBaumgartl thank you very much Ralph,I will keep tweakin amd tryn get what I need /want from this wonderfull machine. And of course with playlist with all your tutorials ;)
