Introduction to the ARP 2600 FS

About the ARP 2600 synthesizer

The ARP 2600 was manufactured and sold from 1971 to 1981, and was a notable product of ARP Instruments, Inc. Except for the very early models that used a metal body, the 2600 is well known for its suitcase-style configuration which separated the synth module from the keyboard module. In an era when large modular systems were still the mainstream, the ARP 2600 went on sale as a semi-modular synthesizer that could be transported. The main modules are internally pre-connected so that sound could be immediately produced without patching, and extremely complex sounds could be designed by patching. Its wide range of sound design potential meant that the ARP 2600 was used in recordings by numerous musicians, production of music for films, and in education. Other notable features were its built-in speakers and spring reverb.

Main Features

ARP 2600 FS

• Equipped with VCOs, VCF, and VCA that use the analog circuits of the original ARP 2600, this instrument provides sound design capabilities far beyond a typical analog synthesizer, allowing flexible and highly improvisatory synthesis.

• The included patch cables allow highly flexible patching. Since each module is internally connected by default, the unit can also be used without connecting patch cables.

• Two types of VCF (early and later models) are provided, and can be selected by a single switch.

• Two types of envelope generators are provided: ADSR type and AR type.

• Since an external audio input jack is provided, you can also process sound that is input externally, such as a guitar or microphone signal.

• A USB port and MIDI connectors are provided, allowing the unit to be connected to a computer or MIDI devices.

ARP 3620 keyboard unit

• Equipped with three types of LFO: triangle wave, square wave, and sine wave. Used in conjunction with the ARP 2600 main unit, this allows production of a variety of effects such as vibrato and tremolo.

• Also provided is an arpeggiator not found on the original, capable of recording and playing back patterns.

• An aftertouch sensor is provided, allowing you to apply vibrato to the sound by pressing down on the keyboard. Patching allows keyboard pressure to produce a variety of changes.

c. INTERVAL LATCH jack

Connect a separately sold foot switch (such as the Korg PS-1) here. If you turn on the foot switch while holding down two keys, the interval between the two keys is memorized. While the foot switch is on, pressing one key causes a note higher by the memorized interval (the CV signal) to be output from the UPPER VOICE output jacks.

d. TRIGGER MODE switch

....................... [SINGLE/MULTIPLE]

Selects how the ADSR circuit starts operating (is triggered) when consecutive note-on occurs.

SINGLE: Since a new note-on will not cause a trigger until the ADSR release time has ended, this is used for legato performance.

MULTIPLE: The ADSR circuit is triggered by each note-on.

TRIGGER MODE does not

apply to the AR circuit.

e. LATCH switch .................. [ON/OFF]

If this switch is on, and you take your finger off a key after playing it, the state is maintained (the note is latched) until the next time you press a key. This is used mainly

in conjunction with the internal arpeggiator.

f. ARPEGGIATOR selector

.......................... [OFF/AUTO...SEQ]

Selects the type for the internal arpeggiator. The arpeggiator tempo is synchronized with the LFO speed.

OFF: Choose OFF if you are not using the internal arpeggiator.

AUTO: If two or more keys are held down, they sound in the order in which they were pressed.

UP: While two or more keys are held down, they sound in order from the lower to the higher.

DOWN: While two or more keys are held down, they sound in order from the higher to the lower.

UP&DOWN: UP and DOWN alternate repeatedly.

RANDOM: While two or more keys are held down, they are sounded randomly.

SEQ PLAY: Keys are sounded in the pattern that you previously recorded using SEQ REC. In advance, choose SEQ REC and record an arpeggio pattern.

SEQ REC: When SEQ REC is selected, pitches are recorded in the order in which you play the keys. To use the arpeggio pattern that you recorded, switch to SEQ PLAY.

Turning the power on

Turn off the power of your powered monitor speakers or other external output

device before you power-on the ARP 2600 FS.

1. Lower this unit’s LEFT SPEAKER slider and RIGHT SPEAKER slider to the

minimum position.

2. When you turn this unit’s power switch ON, the power supply LED is lit, and

the power turns on. Lower the volume of your powered monitors or other external output equipment before you turn the power on.

3. Adjust this unit’s LEFT SPEAKER slider and RIGHT SPEAKER slider. If

external output equipment is connected, raise the volume of that equipment as appropriate.

If you are not familiar with how to create sounds, we suggest that you now

Tip:

adjust the settings as described in the “Basic settings” section.

Turning the power off

1. Lower the volume of your powered monitors or external output system, and

turn their power off.

2. When you set this unit’s power switch to the STANDBY position, the power

supply LED goes dark, and the power turns off.

Auto power-off function

The ARP 2600 FS has an auto power-off function that automatically turns the power off when approximately four hours have elapsed since the instrument was last played or used. With the factory settings, the auto power-off function is enabled.

Owner’s manual

Changing the auto power-off setting

If desired, you can enable or disable the auto power-off function.

Disabling the auto power-off function

On side panel L, set MODE SWITCH 5 off (downward position). The auto power-off function is disabled; you don’t have to turn the power off and on again to apply the setting.

Let’s make some sounds

Basic settings

Set the ARP 2600 FS’s controls (sliders, switches, etc.) as shown in the illustration below. When you play the keyboard with these settings, the sound of the VCO-1 square wave is output by itself. To adjust the volume, use the MIXER section’s input level 2 slider (see

“MIXER” on page 13).

When you use a patch cable to connect the ARP 2600 FS unit with the ARP 3620

keyboard unit, the difference in GND level (the discrepancy in reference voltage) might cause the pitch to drift by several cents.

Tuning

After you set this unit to the basic settings described previously, adjust the FINE TUNE slider of each VCO to the correct pitch using a commercially available tuner (such as the Korg CA-50).

- 22 -

Arpeggiator settings

The ARP 3620 keyboard unit is equipped with an internal arpeggiator. When you hold down two or more keys, the arpeggiator plays an arpeggio (broken

chord) or a previously recorded arpeggio pattern in synchronization with the LFO tempo. To record and play back an arpeggio pattern, proceed as follows.

Recording an arpeggio pattern (SEQ REC)

1. On the panel of the ARP 3620, set the ARPEGGIATOR selector to “SEQ REC.”

2. When you play the keyboard in this state, notes are recorded as an arpeggio

pattern in the order in which you play them.

When you press and release a key, the arpeggio pattern advances by one step.

Tip:

By pressing the MOMEN.SW while holding down a key, you can enter a tie. By pressing the MOMEN.SW while not holding down a key, you can enter a rest.

By pressing the MOMEN.SW several times, you can enter the corresponding

Tip:

number of consecutive ties or rests.

The arpeggio pattern is remembered while the power is on, but is lost when

you turn off the power.

Playing back the arpeggio pattern (SEQ PLAY)

1. After you have recorded an arpeggio pattern, set the ARPEGGIATOR selector

to “SEQ PLAY.”

2. When you play the keyboard, the arpeggio pattern is played back based on that

note.

When power is cycled, the SEQ REC memory is cleared, so when the

instrument is turned on, you will have to record a new sequence in order to play back.

This unit’s arpeggiator starts playing from the beginning of the pattern each

Tip:

time a note-on occurs. The gate time of the arpeggiator is fixed (50%).

Tip:

Voice assign mode settings

The ARP 3620 keyboard unit will output two pitch CV signals according to your performance, and these can be used in a variety of ways. These two pitch CV signals are respectively referred to as KBD CV-1 and KBD CV-2, and are sent via the DIN cable to the ARP 2600 FS main unit.

KBD CV-1 is the same as “KBD CV” on the ARP 2600 FS main unit’s panel, and is internally pre-connected to VCO1–3, but KBD CV-2 is located on the panel as a modulation source that is not internally connected. KBD CV-2 is the same as the UPPER VOICE output of the ARP 3620 keyboard unit’s panel.

When you press one key, KBD CV-1 and KBD CV-2 output the same voltage, but when you press two or more keys, these two pitch CV outputs will be different voltages. This unit lets you switch between using these pitch CV outputs in two different ways (voice assign modes).

Normal mode (default)

This is the factory-set mode. When two or more keys are pressed simultaneously, the lowest note is output as KBD CV-1 and the highest note is output as KBD CV-2 (UPPER VOICE). To specify this mode, hold down the three keys C3, D3, and E3 and turn on the power of the ARP 2600 FS main unit.

Original mode

This mode reproduces the operation of the original ARP 3620 keyboard unit. This is the same as normal mode in that the lowest note is output as KBD CV-1 and the highest note is output as KBD CV-2 (UPPER VOICE), but differs in that the lowest note and highest note continue being held until the gate signal turns on (the first key is played). To specify this mode, hold down the two keys C#3 and D#3, and turn on the power of the ARP 2600 FS.

After changing this setting, do not turn off the power for several seconds.

Doing so might damage the data, causing malfunctions. The voice assign mode function setting is remembered even after the power is

Tip:

turned off.

About MIDI

Connecting MIDI devices

By connecting the ARP 2600 FS to a computer or external MIDI sequencer, you can control the sound generator of the ARP 2600 FS from an external device. Use a commercially available MIDI cable to connect the ARP 2600 FS’s MIDI IN connector to the MIDI OUT connector of your external MIDI device (see “Connections” on page 20). MIDI IN connector: This receives MIDI messages from other MIDI devices. Connect this connector to the MIDI OUT connector of the other device.

Note messages (velocity is ignored) are the only type of MIDI messages that

the ARP 2600 FS can receive via its MIDI IN connector. The range of notes that can be received is 012 (C0)–127 (G9).

MIDI channel

MIDI has sixteen channels, 1–16. If you connect an external MIDI device, you must set the MIDI channel of the ARP 2600 FS to match the MIDI channel of your external MIDI device. With the factory settings, this is set to channel 1.

For details on how to set the MIDI channel of your external device, refer to its

Tip:

operating manual.

Setting the MIDI channel of the ARP 2600 FS

Use the rear panel MODE SWITCH 1–4 to specify the MIDI channel. The MIDI channel settings are shown in the following table. The MIDI channel changes immediately when you change the setting.

Although you can change the MIDI channel during use, currently-sounding

notes will turn off. Pitch bend is also reset.

Connecting a computer

Use a USB cable to directly connect the ARP 2600 FS to a computer that’s equipped with a USB port in order to receive MIDI messages in the same way as with the MIDI connectors (see

“Connections” on page 20). The only MIDI messages that can be transmitted or received via the USB port are transmission and reception of note messages (velocity is fixed at 64 for transmission and ignored for reception) and pitch bend messages (reception only).

The only MIDI messages that are transmitted are note messages transmitted

Tip:

when the keyboard is played. Slider and switch operations do not transmit MIDI messages.

When connecting via USB, the KORG USB-MIDI driver must be installed.

Tip:

Download the latest version of the KORG USB-MIDI driver from the Korg website (http://www.korg.com/), and install it as directed by the documentation included with the driver.

About the MIDI implementation chart

The MIDI implementation chart lists the MIDI messages that can be transmitted and received. When using a MIDI device, compare the MIDI implementation charts to check that the MIDI messages are compatible. You can download the MIDI implementation chart for this device from the Korg website.

Un mot à propos de l’ARP 2600 FS

Petit historique du synthétiseur ARP 2600

Produit et vendu entre 1971 et 1981, le synthétiseur ARP 2600 est un des produitsphares d’ARP Instruments, Inc. À l’exception des tout premiers modèles avec boîtier en métal, le 2600 est célèbre pour sa construction de style valise intégrant un module de synthé et un module de clavier distincts. À une époque où les vastes systèmes modulaires étaient encore la norme, l’ARP 2600 offrait un format de synthétiseur semi modulaire transportable. Les modules principaux étant pré-connectés en interne, l’instrument permettait de produire instantanément des sons sans aucun câble, mais aussi de concevoir des sons extrêmement complexes en connectant des câbles. Vu son riche potentiel de création sonore, l’ARP 2600 est utilisé par de nombreux artistes lors de sessions d’enregistrement, mais aussi pour la production de bandes originales de films ainsi qu’à des fins pédagogiques. Il se distingue aussi par ses haut-parleurs intégrés et sa réverbération à ressort.

Caractéristiques principales

Synthétiseur ARP 2600 FS

• Doté de VCO, VCF et VCA reposant sur les circuits analogiques de l’ARP 2600 original, cet instrument offre un potentiel de création sonore dépassant de loin celui des synthés analogiques conventionnels et vous met aux commandes d’une synthèse flexible et riche en improvisation.

• Les câbles à fiches minijack mono fournis permettent des connexions (alias ‘patching’) ultra-flexibles. Vu que chaque module est connecté en interne à la sortie d’usine, vous pouvez aussi utiliser l’instrument sans le moindre câble.

• Un sélecteur permet de choisir entre deux types de VCF (anciens modèles et modèles plus récents).

• L’instrument propose deux types de générateurs d’enveloppe: “ADSR” et “AR”.

• L’entrée pour source audio externe permet d’acheminer et de traiter le son d’une guitare ou d’un micro, par exemple.

• Le port USB et les prises MIDI permettent de brancher l’instrument à un ordinateur ou à des dispositifs MIDI.

Clavier ARP 3620

• Le clavier offre trois types de LFO: onde triangulaire, onde carrée et onde sinusoïdale. Utilisé en conjonction avec le synthétiseur ARP 2600, ce clavier permet de produire divers effets comme par exemple vibrato et trémolo.

• Il intègre aussi un arpégiateur absent sur l’original permettant d’enregistrer et de lire des motifs d'arpège.

• Le clavier comporte aussi un détecteur d’aftertouch permettant d’appliquer un vibrato au son en maintenant la pression sur les touches enfoncées. En outre, en connectant des câbles, vous pouvez produire divers changements sonores avec l’aftertouch.

PREAMPLIFIER

a. Prise d’entrée

Reçoit le signal audio d’une source comme un micro, une guitare électrique, etc.

b. Commande GAIN ..................................................................................[0…MAX]

Règle le gain du préampli.

c. Sélecteur RANGE ...................................................................[x10, x100, x1000]

Change le rapport d’amplification du préampli.

d. Prise de sortie

Délivre le signal amplifié par le préampli.

ENVELOPE FOLLOWER

e. Prise d’entrée

Transmet le signal reçu au suiveur d’enveloppe (‘envelope follower’). La sortie préampli est connectée en interne.

f. Curseur de niveau d’entrée

Règle le niveau d’entrée du signal transmis au suiveur d’enveloppe.

g. Prise de sortie

Il s’agit de la prise de sortie du suiveur d’enveloppe. Elle transmet un contour du signal d’entrée.

RING MODULATOR

h. Prise d’entrée 1

Transmet le signal initial reçu au modulateur en anneau (‘ring modulator’). L’onde en dents de scie du VCO-1 est connectée en interne.

i. Sélecteur d’entrée ............................................................................[AUDIO, DC]

Placez ce sélecteur sur AUDIO pour éliminer le décalage de courant continu (DC) du signal d’entrée. Quand ce sélecteur est sur DC, le signal d’entrée est transmis tel quel au modulateur en anneau. Choisissez cette position lorsque vous transmettez un signal CV (tension de commande).

j. Curseur de niveau d’entrée 1

Règle le niveau d’entrée du signal reçu à la prise d’entrée 1. L’onde en dents de scie du VCO-1 est connectée en interne.

k. Prise d’entrée 2

Transmet le deuxième signal reçu au modulateur en anneau. L’onde sinusoïdale du VCO-2 est connectée en interne.

l. Curseur de niveau d’entrée 2

Règle le niveau d’entrée du signal reçu à la prise d’entrée 2.

m. Prise de sortie

Il s’agit de la prise de sortie du modulateur en anneau. Elle délivre un signal produit en multipliant les deux signaux reçus.
