ARP2600 V - Reviews - Music Tech Magazine

Another legendary synth gets a software makeover, courtesy of French company Arturia. Hollin Jones gets nostalgic with the ARP2600 V...

Price: £200.00
Manufacturer: Arturia

It’s official: retro is cool. The appetite among musicians and producers for quality analogue sounds shows no sign of waning. But anyone who has tried to find – let alone buy – a real vintage synth in good working order will testify that it can be next to impossible. Often produced only in limited numbers, relatively few of the electronic behemoths of the 1970s have survived intact. Any that do surface tend to be snapped up for considerable sums.

Score: 9
