  1. Lots of updates, esp. for a 2.0 version. Yet none address that it doesn't sound like an ARP 2600.

  3. That was the VSTi I bought in 2005 which convinced me I needed a real 2600. It never was even close. But, the Timewarp 2600 VSti really did a good job.

  5. My friend had an Arp Odyssey and I briefly had a non-working ARP Omni 2. The ARP hardware is horrible, and the Arturia 2600 comes amazingly close.
