- This is for the nerds ... an uncut Live session while i am just testing and playing the synth. Sound is mono to avoid reverb phase cancellation. Raw sound without any post processing.
The Antonus 2600 FS is a faithful recreation of a 70s ARP 2600, made in the same size as the original. It benefits from a built in midi interface with an additional LFO and CV/Gate outputs (not shown in this video). - Hudba

Does this have the reverb cancellation phase issue as with some of the Korg FS?
@@nikarga Yes. Tho I wouldn’t call it an issue as this is the intended behavior. That’s by the original 70s ARP design. The reverb tank itself is mono. It is connected to the left and right outputs with one side being phase reversed to create a spatial image.
@@tomnoise23 i see - thank you v much for this. Interesting that Korg opted to “fix” this issue to have stereo outputs… wondering why not do the same. It looks amazing - I am on the fence between this and a vintage mk3
@@nikarga What do you mean by "fix the issue"? As far as i know, they all are similar in this regard. Never heard of any differences in the reverb circuit design.
lovely, the part around 14:50mn has those amazing typical smashing envelopes !
Now I know where Klaus Schulze got many sounds of his 70s albums from. Thank you 👍
Pleeeaaase do some more Depeche Mode Songs with the 2600 from Speak & Spell. 😍
sounds SO good - I'd go the smaller size one personally just for space reasons, but I bet it nails the sound too. FS really looks impressive!
cool !
Thanks a lot for posting this video. This thing sounds amazing. Would you happen to know what the difference is between the original size and the other smaller version? Are they pretty much the same thing and only differ in size? Or does the larger version have more options?
Technically they should be similar. The smaller version might has a different spring tank, but that's just a guess.
16:40 Wow! 🥰 Tone on this one sounds just great! Sounds most like what i remember ARP 2600 to sound like in person. I have the Behringer which sounds lovely too, but it’s more precise-sounding to my ears and not as ‘big’. Of course the reverb on the Behringer isn’t really so useful. Have been using a Light Pedal which sounds beautiful.
Agreed. The Antonus just feels and sounds like a vintage ARP from the factory. I used to have 2 different ARP 2600 back in the day. Both where not exactly same sounding, but they shared a certain character which the Antonus has too. With all the flaws of the original too of course. I couldn't be more satisfied.
If only i had the ca$h! It’s freakin’ HEAVY! In a way the Beh just can’t touch, because they use miniaturized circuit boards rather than the crazy hand-built old school thing. There’s just more electrons flowing through the Antonus, it’s not surprising the sound has more heaviness to it.
a friend asks how many 2600 does one man need? Tom replies: ALL OF EM G'dammit 🤣🤣🤣
you got me 😇
Sounds closer to the original than the B2600’s. I really like the idea of the larger size, larger range for the sliders - makes it easier to tune and tweak, IMO. Thanks for posting!
The fader sizes and ranges are exactly the same as those on the Behringer.
@@tomnoise23 An optical illusion I guess as they look bigger. Weird.
@@UniQueWerkx Maybe the big fader caps are adding to that impression.
@@tomnoise23 Did you get rid of the B2600’s?
@@UniQueWerkx Nope, still have both ... I will sell the Gray Meanie at some point, but will keep the standard one.
I have a 2600M. The sliders feel like they are going to fall off. How is the Antonus?
Did you ever touch the faders on an original 2600? :)
As for the Antonus, these are LED faders and don't feel differently to a Behringer 2600. No issues with them.
what do you think comparing to the Korg 2600M?
In short, the Korg sounds awesome too, maybe a bit brighter with more bite and it has shorter attack and longer decay times on the ADSR.
Personally I like the Antonus better, but mainly because of it's size and build quality (of course, time will tell), which seems way ahead over the other ones and it's much easier to maintain/service, whenever it will be needed.
someone needs to make a 2600 clone available that has CV for each parameter similar to what Blue Lantern Modules did with the 7200..
Interesting - Isn't the 7200 a 2600 clone anyway?
@@tomnoise23 ..sort of from what I can tell but it's no longer available.. I guess not enough people realized how nice it was.. Blue Lantern is top on my list of eurorack modular companies giving you the most bang for your buck.. I wish I could find one for a decent price.. I did buy two Behringer 2600 VCO's because obviously the Behringer 2600 doesn't have CV for most of the parameters either..
@@normdurkin6425 you could add some VCAs instead, no?
@@tomnoise23 ..you can definitely add as many VCA's as you want but without CV inputs on the Behringer 2600 you can't modulate things like VCF, ADSR, etc.. that's why I bought 2 Behringer 2600 VCO's to use with other eurorack modules.. I was going to buy a 3rd 2600 VCO but I might buy a Behringer 112 dual VCO instead for the same price to use as a sub oscillator or modulation source..? ..I have other analog VCO modules.. 2 Dreadbox Hysteria's and my personal favorite the Pittsburgh modular waveforms complex oscillator.. my Prophet 08 rack is nice too even though it isn't semi modular because it has the ability to stack layers A and B to have 4 oscillators per voice with 4 notes of polyphony, 4 LFO's included and tons of modulation capabilities when it's internal sequencer is running..
I didn't know enough about modular to know that I should have bought the Blue Lantern 7200 when it was available.. my friend has an original ARP 2600 it sounds great but I am spoiled when it comes to sending LFO's to modulate eurorack..
@@tomnoise23 ..I am write strictly hard abstract techno.. the modulation capabilities would allow me to sound like a one man hard abstract techno extremist wrecking crew..
Sweet synth but the price is staggering. I would have went with 6 b2600s instead. Really interested to hear what you come up with on it though!
Understandable but considering that it’s handcrafted the price is very good.
b2600 doesn't really sound anything like this though.
@@Thoracius That's true because it has better envelopes extra features like sync and no annoying dc thump that you have to modify to remove.
joer...
