That's one cool creation station! Love synths and want to see more? All you have to do is like, comment, and subscribe to see the latest and greatest 😎
Douglas Fisher my life would not be complete with out my wife and kids i would not have it any other way i still have time to play my synths I do thangs by the book.
Daniel Fisher on every single synth video: "You know I just got this thing in this morning, it didn't even come with any information, it's a prototype, I have a sick job, you can look at other videos if you want instructions, I really just want you to hear the thing..." [Lays down a sick, 30-minute synth-noodle delirium.]
That creamy, full, bubbling sound, I recognize it a mile away... this is without doubt one of the finest pieces of electronic instruments ever created. Alas, they are already sold out here in Sweden, so I will need to stay in the queue hoping for a second batch.
In ‘78 we opened up an ARP. We found a Moog component inside buried in epoxy. This was done at the Moog Factory in Cheektowaga, NY. I still love the sound that Tony Banks (Genesis) and Neil Larson would get.
Holy baby jesus...Hallelujah! FINALLY Korg came thru with the ARP 2600. I owned an orange face that I bought new back in the 70's. Cross your fingers that they offer it in orange face. If you're into analog synths, this is the holy grail. I'm so excited I think I might pee myself. I've been looking at an original 2600, but it's $15,000.00 . Happy camper here.
It also comes with a long hair wig, stretch bell bottom slacks, pre-stained suede vest, peace sign medallion necklace, non corrective curved trapezoidal turtle frame glasses, and translational phrase book so you can say essential terms like “far out” and “groovy” and sound authentically 70’s hip
A flagship reissue that will stand out for years and years! So nice to see Daniel meeting the 2600 for the first time, I really hope he will make a follow up video "after the deep dive". This synth deserves a super in-depth review.
This is one of those synths I’ve wanted since the 80’s but I couldn’t afford one It still is a dream machine all these decades later and I still cant afford it 😂😢🤦♂️.
Well you should be thrilled (as I am!) that Behringer just announced their "2600" and it's gonna be $599! I know it's not the replica. But regardless, a 3-oscillator semi-modular with slider controls and configured like a 2600 for 600 bucks? Yes please, I'll take two!
Astonishing synth. Character all of its own. Wonderful review that concentrated on how it sounds. Most synths to date elicit a "that's nice " or that's "really nice" response from me. The ARP 2600 is a complete knockout. Thanks for the demo.
Synth Wars - The Rise of the Korg ARP 2600. Once again and as usual, AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEE DEMO Dan!!!, I'm ordering this BEAST from you folks later on today!!!. Played one in 73. Can't wait till it joins my Moog One, it's new Partner In Sine :-)
Always wanted a ARP 2600 but could never afford one so I went the eurorack direction. With eurorack I have the choice of thousands of filters types, LFO's, OSC, etc and I can build the synth to my liking one step at a time as money becomes available.
Thanks for the demo. Really appreciated the mic demo. The speaker sound was very close to direct. It is really hard not to click on the Pre-Order button.
it's such an amazing device! i can hear a clear difference between line and speaker signal... there is a kind of echo while playing the speakers, especially in the heights part... but i guess it's because of the wrong mic position. the correct mic position is very important when picking up the sound and i even think there weren't any sound absorbers in the room. at least it sounds like that.
Great demo Daniel. This is a beautiful instrument. The more I see and hear it the more I understand how good it really is. If I get a windfall big enough on my next PRS cheque this may well replace my KARP Odyssey
A moment of silence for all of the old timers who'd begged the big companies for this day of revivals over the past decade, yet didn't live to enjoy it themselves. Thank you!
Hi prozak morris. Back in 2014 I rode to a motorcycle rally in Chicago where there was a booth giving away free haircuts as long as you were willing to get a Flat Top. Everyone's comments were so positive that I've had one ever since. Thanks for watching! - Daniel Fisher
Sweetwater Never miss a demo/ review my man. That’s an awesome origin story too! Thanks for the reply and the fantastic work you do for us synth nerds.
I wish they’d reissued the orange on black color scheme I used to learn on in the 1970’s, but this is totally killer. Damn shame I’m outta room in the studio.
@Darkice Presents Yes Behringer will beat them on price. But not on the accuracy and quality of the rebuild. From what I understand, Korg recreated it with as much as possible the original components. In that sense it compares more to something like the recreated Moog Model 15, which was a lot more expensive, though. The Behringer version will be more like a modern redesign from a technical point of view and use mass produced and much cheaper SMD circuits, which can be build with a lot of automation in the factory. The Korg version, will likely last you 40+ years, as the original did with not too difficult repair options. The SMD design will likely not last you that long and will be very difficult or impossible to repair. But it will be a lot cheaper, I'm sure.
@@powermix24 -- Yes, surely the Behringer version will be more affordable. Maybe they won't include the built-in speakers which will shave a few dollars/Euros off their cost and the eventual price. Nice as these little speakers are, I could live without them. It will be interesting to see what else Behringer does differently. I expect to see several side-by-side comparisons, as people have done with KARP/BARP Odyssey machines.
@@powermix24 Weird, because the Behringer Odyssey not only gave the ability to select which filter to use, but also had an arpeggiator and built in TC Electronics effects, which the Korg version did not have. Are you sure it was only price?
After the somewhat disappointing (to me) performance by BT and Richard Devine at NAMM at the Korg booth I had to come back and rewatch Daniel's awesome demo. It's a real shame that the beast is already sold out everywhere. BTW: I don't think this is/was overpriced at ~$3,900 at all. Compare it to the MiniMoog re-release from a few years back, which originally sold for $3700. With the ARP you get an equally iconic analog synth from the early '70s with a much superior feature set. Plus a built-in sequencer/arpeggiator and a full blown flight case.
Lol "I'm not going to go over everything, that's been done in so many other videos, I just want you to hear it" spends the next 5 minutes going over it. That's ok! Love Sweetwater anyway and everything you guys do... including this vid
What year were you at Berklee? I was there in 1987, the synth lab looks much like what you described. Perhaps you were closer to 1993, based on what you listed for gear .... ?
Hi Pete. I started Berklee in January of 1986 as an MP&E major and then added Music Synthesis a year later. I graduated Cum Laud in both in 1989. (I attended every summer semester to do it.) I was an Associate Professor of Music Synthesis at Berklee from 2001 until 2006, when I became a Director at Sweetwater. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_
Funny thing. Try ordering from Sweetwater. As of Jan 14, they are already all sold out. Guitar center is also all sold out and no more are available according to the sales rep. Can you believe it? How limited is this edition going to be?
Demon Dan! You crushed it! Enjoyed the video. The sounds reminded me when I was abducted by a UFO in 1972 in Utah. Those oscillators caused me PTSD. Anyways, great job. What will these sell for? $700-$800? May have to sell the chicken manure farm to buy this thing.
It pisses me off that they say again and again that the 2600 "is back", yet in an extremely limited production run and with ALL units already sold out. Why herald the return of something that will only be available for a handful of people? Come on...
As far as I know, one of these was used to create the sounds in Rush's 2112 intro. I would love to see this sound recreated, as it is still a mystery to me how they did it.
Hey guys, I just received my Korg ARP 2600. Can you tell me how can I sync my external drum machine to sync the arp/seq tempo of the ARP? It s not working via MIDI. Maybe through CV? Can you write me how can I setup?
Was hoping to hear a musical bass or lead lines. I guess these are just known for space effects. Minimoog seems to be a better musical fit for that price
epic. I had a used original whiteface odyssey because that's the best ARP I could afford as a kid, so I tasted the ARP kool-aid, and I have coveted that 2600 my entire life. edit: Also, it looks like even as a big kid, it still is only the odyssey that I can afford heh. edit more: actually, i'm over it. The damage I could do with 4 grand in today's tech is orders of magnitude above a single semi-modular unit. This is Rudess' level of personal gear at this point...or Herbie's...et al.

For sure with a 4,600 $ price, we can at least expect it'd be a "cool creation station" !!

A beautiful time to be childless and unmarried. I’m getting this.
lmao i heard that 😂
Yep, yep, and... possibly
Hypcilleaux Mortechai if only I could vacation away from wife and kids long enough to learn this. Or in other words a few years
Doint know I have kids and am married plus work for the railroad still buy synths and play.

My first synthesizer purchase was a 2600 back in the 70s.

Dan, your demos are always the most musical. Thank you for always making each new instrument sound so fun and enticing.
This is truly a beautiful synth in every way of staying true to the original in terms of design and sound! Salute to Korg for doing this!
Holy baby jesus...Hallelujah! FINALLY Korg came thru with the ARP 2600. I owned an orange face that I bought new back in the 70's. Cross your fingers that they offer it in orange face.

this is the first synth i ever touch and it was in 1975 ,it is great to see this come back ,congrats KORG
Damnnn, love this synth, love this guy, love his playing and patching. So rich and original, you guys at sweetwater are right up thereeee
A flagship reissue that will stand out for years and years! So nice to see Daniel meeting the 2600 for the first time, I really hope he will make a follow up video "after the deep dive". This synth deserves a super in-depth review.
I really appreciate that you took the time to do an A/B of the speakers to DI
Never played the 2600 before.
Daniel Fisher from Sweetwater: “hold my drink for a second please”
Goes and shreds it
Sheer luck mate ... sheer luck (!) 😆👍🍻
Beer!

Those cases make this quite a posh package. Excellent additions to the original design, too!
Complete. A world unto itself. And the sound quality says to me that no compromises were made in its construction.
I love this man's synth demos, a pleasure to listen to.
I love the ARP ever since watching
'Apocalypse Now!' Major props
to KORG for bringing this classic instrument back, better than ever!
I think they used prophet 5 on apocalypse certainly for the rotor sounds , read an interview long ago
Do you mean "Close Encounters" it was in that I believe actually on screen too!
Wow I am blown away
Best demo so far for this ANALOG MONSTER!!! A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
What an excellent demonstration!! And by a 2600 newbie too! That's a great inspiration for us all. Thank you, Daniel!
:-)
Christ, I'm jumping out of my skin right now. What a great demo, and by all appearances Korg just killed this one. What an amazing job.
Astonishing synth. Character all of its own. Wonderful review that concentrated on how it sounds. Most synths to date elicit a "that's nice " or that's "really nice" response from me. The ARP 2600 is a complete knockout. Thanks for the demo.
Damn!
It sounds like the OG 2600!
Even on crappy iphone speakers!
Well done, Korg!
Sobchak Security produced a beautiful demo, despite the "lack of expertise"
What a monster!!! Great job KORG!!
Synth Wars - The Rise of the Korg ARP 2600. Once again and as usual, AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEE DEMO Dan!!!, I'm ordering this BEAST from you folks later on today!!!. Played one in 73. Can't wait till it joins my Moog One, it's new Partner In Sine :-)

Ah yes there it is! And it seems to sound authentic too! Too bad I can't afford this in a million years, but it's just cool to have it around again :)
If you save $5 a day you can have it in 2 years!!
$4000 isnt that ridiculous just make some sacrifices and save.
Thanks for the demo. Really appreciated the mic demo. The speaker sound was very close to direct. It is really hard not to click on the Pre-Order button.
Holy flattop that’s a hairdo and a bad ass synth
it's such an amazing device!
i can hear a clear difference between line and speaker signal... there is a kind of echo while playing the speakers, especially in the heights part...
but i guess it's because of the wrong mic position. the correct mic position is very important when picking up the sound and i even think there weren't any sound absorbers in the room. at least it sounds like that.
Fantastic demo. Some really lovely sounds there!
Great demo Daniel. This is a beautiful instrument. The more I see and hear it the more I understand how good it really is. If I get a windfall big enough on my next PRS cheque this may well replace my KARP Odyssey

Ordered already!!!!
Sounds amazing!!!! And thank you for a great demo! Just the right stuff i wanted to hear!
Rarely does a synths Flat Top rival Daniels.

Out of room....? WTF! Knock down a wall and make room. :-)
Yeah I'm on the fence buying one of these but would have preferred the orange black color scheme
What an amazing sounding unit
Sounds fantastic. Thanks.
I'll be needing this when I do the soundtrack to Phantasm 17.
Never knew Walter Sobchak played synthesizers. Jokes aside, this is BEYOND awesome!
Wow Korg this is a Jewel, were's R2-D2
Dissonant Timbres what?
Dissonant Timbres got it, I didn’t know that, thanks for the info, I wonder what brand he used back then
Daniel Fisher and Sweetwater...nuff said
Holy hell. It has actually happened!
Ha! Korg beat Behringer to it. This will be a difficult act to top. Thanks for the juicy noodling demo, Dan. That thing is amazing.
The only thing Behringer is going to beat Korg on is the price, this is 3800$ Behringer will sell theirs much lower.

ARP 2600 (Angry Tone): 01:35
Superb!!
Sounds FAB but I'm liking the nice cases to put them in for travel
Do I need the Arp 2600? Of course not. Do I want one? Hell yeah! Can I afford it? Not really.
It's at times like these that having a wife adds to the debit side of the relationship balance ;-)

I won't be affording this one. Looks ridiculously nice though.
tempted to sell all my eurorack and 101 to have this.
Not the 101! I'm guessing they'll release a module by the summer/fall.
Sell the 101 and get Behringers MS-1. It’s wayyyy better and you’ll have money left over.
@@elissitdesign It's cheap and sounds ok, but not as fat as the original.
