ARP 2600 Blue Meanie S&H 01

Published on Jun 30, 2013 AudioCentralMagazine·152 videos

"The (ultra) rare ARP 2600 Blue Meanie/Blue Marvin is under control of S&H module: EGs are fired from S&H Clock; VCO1, VCO 2 and VCF are S&H modulated. Audio signal goes straight into 2600's spring reverb. A copy of the VCA out signal (dry) is hard switched left/right with Electronic Switch. A great synthesizer, pretty different in sound from the standard 2600 B/W and B/O."

ARP 2600 Blue Meanie 3 Saw Osc & Filter

Published on Jun 30, 2013

"The (ultra) rare ARP 2600 Blue Meanie/Blue Marvin shows its three sawtooth VCOs into 24 dB/Oct LowPass Filter. Blue Meanie oscillators are meatier and hotter than standard ARP VCOs. Both Input filter mixer and Input Amplifier Mixer are VERY sensible to levels and overload. In the end of the video, some audio-rate FM from VCO 2 Sine over Cutoff Frequency."

ARP 2600 Blue Meanie Funzionamento

Published on Jul 3, 2013

"Una panoramica veloce sul funzionamento dell'ARP 2600 Blue Meanie/Blue Marvin; rispetto al 2600 "normale" ha una risposta più aggressiva nei confronti dei livelli audio e manca del Fine Tune nella regolazione di Cutoff Frequency. Manca anche, particolare secondario, il multiplo a quattro vie per la triplicazione dei segnali. Una macchina spettacolare, rarissima e potente."
