Korg Arp 2600 has been talk of the synth world for couple days. This video is promoting it but it is also good documentary of the original synth. It is suspicious how much promotion synth with limited series of 400 has got. It is quite sure there will be smaller and cheaper mass produced version coming soon afterwards. Otherwise all this effort is for Behringer’s ARP 2600 copy which is coming in future. You can find images of it from internet. They have announced they are developing one some time ago.
This video pretty much sold ARP 2600 copy to me. Not this full sized version this video was made for. It is way above what I am willing to pay for one instrument. I would be really surprised is Korg don’t release more affordable mini version of this. Usually they release mini version before full sized limited edition. Maybe they calculated they can sell more of full sized ones if they release it first.
Will I actually buy ARP 2600 copy depends on price synths come and how much of this full sized version’s features they have. I have no need for speakers and wouldn’t mind too much if there is version without keyboard. Hype has got me but if something with reasonable price don’t come soon I might find something more interesting elsewhere.
