标志性的 ARP 2600。这是每个大型工作室都能看到的合成器。它们在二手市场上的价格高得惊人。当 KORG 于 2020 年发布限量版 ARP 2600 FS 时,它们立即在全球售罄。现在,KORG 很高兴推出这款必备合成器的第一个真正准确的软件重现:KORG Collection ARP 2600。

KORG 专有的 CMT 技术忠实地再现了独特的波形和滤波器、自定义 LFO 和包络形状、许多微妙的非线性,甚至接线板的行为——与任何其他 2600 软件仪器都不同。由于对细节的执着关注,您可以打开原始的 ARP 2600 补丁手册(可在 KORG 网站上以免费 PDF 形式获取),连接屏幕上的 100 个补丁中的每一个,它们听起来就像真正的 ARP 2600 一样——这是其他 2600 插件无法做到的。

将 2600 带入现代

保留原始产品的出色音质、令人难以置信的灵活性和古怪态度仅仅是个开始。为了真正尊重这款传奇乐器的遗产,我们问自己:如果 ARP 今天重新设计 2600,它会是什么样子?作为回应,我们做了很多改进,包括添加第二个滤波器、驱动部分、新的调制源、广泛的 MIDI 控制、复杂的音序器、高达 16 声部的复音等等——同时保留了原始 ARP 2600 设计的精神。

细节之美

我们的工程师花费了大量时间来了解原始和现代原理图的每一个细节,仔细研究原始 2600 手册,用示波器进行测试,最重要的是聆听。例如,原始 AR 和 ADSR 包络可能看起来很简单 - 但需要花费大量时间和调整才能使其恰到好处。振荡器波形是正确的,包括增加独特亮度的轻微瑕疵(尤其是三角形和正弦波)。我们对原始 VCF 模块 4012 和 4072 进行了建模,并使用开关在它们之间进行选择。我们在原始硬件上包含了所有许多饱和点,并带有微妙的失真,使声音栩栩如生。遍布不同模块的广泛抗锯齿技术让我们能够提供真正优质的音频质量。KORG 的组件建模技术 (CMT) 包括模拟组件之间的变化,就像您在多个硬件 2600 中发现的那样,以在复音播放时提供自然的丰富性。

在接线板外面,有 20 多个微调电位器,可在不同的 2600 年份的行为之间进行选择,拨入校准细节,例如方波宽度和三角波对称性(就像原始硬件一样)等等。

保留和扩展 2600 精神

与大多数老式合成器相比,2600 拥有自己的特色。首先,没有两个部分是相同的;每个部分都有自己的用途(通常不止一个)和匹配的功能。三个 VCO 中的每一个都有不同的功能。两个包络的工作方式非常不同。有许多隐藏的怪癖,例如看起来相同的控制输入的范围不同、相位反转和不寻常的波形。这是一款经过深思熟虑的乐器,但它也感觉像是定制模块的集合。这些差异引导着眼睛,也让它玩起来很有趣。有一种不断发现的感觉,“哇,我也能让它做到这一点!”

在添加所有新功能时,我们决心保留原始乐器的精神。因此,我们抵制了现代统一和标准化的冲动。每个 VCO 仍然不同。当我们添加一个包络和一个 LFO 时,我们确保它们与原始版本不同,从而实现新的声音,而不仅仅是“更多”。当我们添加第二个滤波器时,我们使其与主 VCF 完全不同。每个新功能都有自己的声音。所有添加的功能都具有合理的标准连接,包括新的 LFO、包络和音序器。

我们还保留了原始乐器的所有控件,即使添加了所有功能,我们也保留了基本布局。如果您熟悉旧款 2600 或 KORG 的新款 2600 FS 和 2600 M,您会感觉宾至如归 - 但可以玩的东西更多。

The iconic ARP 2600. It’s the one synth you can expect to see in every major studio. They demand astronomical prices on the second hand market. When KORG released the limited- edition ARP 2600 FS in 2020, they sold out immediately world-wide. Now, KORG is pleased to present the first truly accurate software re-creation of this essential synthesizer: the KORG Collection ARP 2600.

KORG’s proprietary CMT technology faithfully reproduces the distinctive waveforms and filters, the custom LFO and envelope shapes, the many subtle nonlinearities, even the behavior of the patch panel – unlike any other 2600 software instrument. Thanks to this obsessive attention to detail, you can open the original ARP 2600 Patch Book (available as a free PDF on KORG’s website), hook up each of the 100 patches on screen, and they will sound just like an authentic ARP 2600 – something that no other 2600 plug-in can do.

Bringing the 2600 into the modern age

Preserving the fantastic sound quality, incredible flexibility, and quirky attitude of the original was only the beginning. To truly honor the legacy of this legendary instrument, we asked ourselves: if ARP redesigned the 2600 today, what would it be like? In response we made many improvements, including adding a second filter, a drive section, new modulation sources, extensive MIDI control, a sophisticated sequencer, up to 16-voice polyphony, and much more – all while keeping the spirit of the original ARP 2600 design.

 

Beauty in the details

Our engineers spent considerable time understanding every detail of the original and modern schematics, poring over the original 2600 manuals, testing with oscilloscopes, and most importantly listening.The original AR and ADSR envelopes, for example, might seem simple – but it took a lot of time and tweaking to get them just right. The oscillator waveforms are correct, including the slight imperfections that add a unique brightness (especially for the triangle and sine). We modeled both of the original VCF modules, the 4012 and the 4072, with a switch to select between them. We included all of the many saturation points on the original hardware, with subtle distortions that bring life to the sound. Extensive anti-aliasing techniques spread throughout the different modules let us deliver truly premium audio quality. KORG’s Component Modeling Technology (CMT) includes variations between analog components, just as you’d find with multiple hardware 2600s, to deliver natural richness when playing polyphonically.

Outside the patch panel, there are 20-odd Trim Pots to select between behaviors of different 2600 vintages, dial in calibration details such as square wave width and triangle wave symmetry (just like the original hardware), and more.

 

Preserving and expanding the 2600 spirit

Even more than most vintage synths, the 2600 has a character all its own. To begin with, no two sections are alike; each has its own purpose (often more than one) and capabilities to match. Each of the three VCOs has different features.The two envelopes work very differently. There are many hidden quirks, such as different ranges for identical-looking control inputs, phase inversions, and unusual waveforms. It’s a carefully considered instrument, but it also feels like a collection of bespoke modules. The differences guide the eye, and also simply make it fun to play around with. There’s a constant sense of discovery, of “wow, I can make it do that, too!”

When adding all of the new capabilities, we were determined to preserve the spirit of the original instrument. So, we resisted the modern urge to unify and standardize. Each of the VCOs is still different. When we added an envelope and an LFO, we made sure that they were different from the originals, enabling new sounds instead of just “more.” When we added a second filter, we made it entirely different from the main VCF. Each new feature speaks with its own voice. All of the additions have sensible normalled connections, incorporating the new LFO, envelope, and sequencer.

We also kept all of the controls of the original instrument, and even with all of the additions, we preserved the basic layout. If you’re familiar with the old 2600, or KORG’s new 2600 FS and 2600 M, you’ll feel right at home – but with even more to play with. .
