"New Antonus 2600 Original Size is coming!

We want to present you the new surprise…. the Antonus 2600 original size edition. Since long time many users were asking for it, and now the moment arrived. Here is an original scale replica of the ARP 2600, grey face version. This is the first announce, we are preparing the related page at the web with sound and video samples. Meanwhile is possible to know how will be:

Worked and shaped with more detailed cabinet using the same wood cuts and original metal hardware. Handmade like the original, the sensation and feeling is a true experience if you know how the classic unit is. Also this Original Size version includes exclusive knobs, shaped from the original ARP 2600 knobs but with special window that allow the pass of light. The user can adjust the light level for use like the classic non illuminated ARP2600 or enjoy with the illuminated slider light of the Antonus version.

Using the same classic thru-hole components, with matched and selected parts for ensure the classic sound and behaviour of the original units. We don’t want to improve or update nothing about this classic essence soul, we love the ARP2600 original personality and want to preserve it. Is a true challenge looking for the parts and the design path for reach it and we want to work in that direction. The commitment is so strong that for this edition we used the same original submodule building technique. The original ARP2600 used submodules as many users may know. We are so sure of the close replica work of the circuits that we can use the same technique allowing a retro compatibility between Antonus 2600 OS and the classic ARP 2600. For example you can use original submodules in Antonus 2600 OS, or you can use Antonus 2600 OS submodules in classic ARP2600, if you want or need to repair a classic unit using the Antonus submodules. The submodules can be sold individually for this kind of restoration process.

Today using this classic technology and working techniques implies lot of work and effort compared with the current modern mass production process like SMT devices. We are far from this manufacture process with this instrument, because for this special work this deserves this kind of special dedication, love and of course taking the care for the sound and behaviour of some special components that brings us the famous personality of the classic 2600.

Also we added something demanded for our previous customers, the balanced output interface. Located at the right side and using the XLR/Jack dual connector you can use this lines for connect to the mixers and audio interfaces using balanced lines and also keeps the traditional front panel mini jacks outputs like the original ARP2600. With this you can connect the main outputs using mini jack 3,5mm (non balanced) , Jack 6,3mm (balanced) and XLR connectors (balanced)

With all of this we want to offer this special work, living the manufacture process like the early years, mostly done by hand and done with love with people how loves what they do.

The amount of work and requirements doesn’t allow big production, this means that the production will be limited to 20 units per year.

The customer price will be 4125 euro TAX excluded. Shipping not included. Reserve your unit directly with Antonus or using any Antonus dealer for ensure your unit availability."

ARP and Antonus 2600 with Step Brother session 2

Published on Jul 24, 2019 wutierson

"Real time composition and performance with Antonus 2600, Antonus Step Brother Sequencer and original ARP 2600 (grey face).

No more instruments are involved in this recording, just real time with no multitrack and no extra processing. The mix is done using the different patching mix points of each 2600 to finally have a 2 tracks to make the stereo and this stereo signal does directly to the recording sound interface.

Of course is not as polished as a multitrack session production (better mix balance, gain controls, extra effects…) , but the idea is to show the sound as is, direct from the instruments so you can see the performance possibilities of this setup in real time. Very useful was to have analog spring reverb built in each 2600 to adjust every sound with space position in the mix.

The track maybe can be long for some audiences because the intention is to show the manipulation of the parameters so most of the process and techniques can be seen while you’re listening.

In this track the Antonus Step Brother is driving all the sequences, percussion triggers and accents, and also brings extra modulations so there is a strong relation with the ARP and Antonus 2600 in every moment. Also the ARP and Antonus are sharing some patching points to share modulations and processing each with other.

"During some test magic happens when the great musician Francisco Nicosia (from Klauss band) was playing the Antonus 2600 , Antonus Step Brother. In one moment Fran was playing Oxygene 1 (Jean Michel Jarre) and decide to record it.
The 2600 created the bass-timpani sound with the Electro Hamonix Small Tone phaser and is controlled by midi using the Dave Smith Poly evolver. At same time 2600 is making high pitch FX with help of the Step Brother.
For the strings Clavia Nord Stage with custom Eminent patch was used.
Only simple delay was used and Antonus 2600 analog spring reverb was used. No more FX or EQs or Compression.
Thanks to La Siesta del Fauno studio in Buenos Aires for the moment."

Korg PS-3300 + Antonus 2600 Original Size live jam demo improvisation "Pompidou in Tokyo"

video upload by wutierson

"Korg PS-3300 + Antonus 2600 Original Size live jam demo improvisation 'Pompidou in Tokyo' by Toni Gutierrez

Here is the third video of a series with the wonderfully enormous (in all aspects) Korg PS-3300 playing with Antonus instruments. This Korg PS-3300 was in Antonus studio and workshop during some months for study, works and of course for enjoy it playing.

This third video is an improvisation using Korg PS-3300 with the Antonus 2600 Original Size model. Connected both instruments with so many patching points for make this abstract and experimental track, looking also for the west coast essence that can be found in the 2600 design. The 2600 is a wonderful design were we can find good examples of the east and west coast schools.

Is very interesting to play with the polyphonic concept of the PS-3300 and at the same time work with structural part and auto generative patterns. I will to continue to make more experiments in that way, is a very unique instrument!

Also the wonderful design of the 2600 allows to make a very fast performance, so faster than the 3300 due to the slider design and how are placed... offering the the feeling of hand moulding sense, like sculpturing with hand, that allows to the performer to feel that is one more element of the system interacting with all parts.

The demo is recorded in one take, no multitrack was used in this recording. Only Korg PS-3300 + Antonus Step Brother + Korg SDD1200 dual delay unit.

Unlike the other two previous tracks this is very abstract. For people that doesn't like this kind of music I recommend to check the other PS-3300 videos with more melodic content.

Thanks to Ernesto Romeo from La Siesta del Fauno studio laboratory in Buenos Aires for bring us for a time this awesome piece of electronic music history."

Antonus 2600 Building Timelapse

Published on Jan 25, 2020 wutierson

"Timelapse of Antonus 2600 cabinet building process and final assembly. Many hours of work condensed in this video! The soundtrack is made using Antonus 2600 and Antonus Step Brother, multitrack and recorded in 6 takes.

Every Antonus 2600 have its cabinet made like the classic ARP 2600 using wood, Tolex and hardware using our hands. Every unit is made with people who works with care and love, like instruments was done in old times.
In Antonus we believe that this energy and intention is part of the the original instrument and we want to do in that way, maybe is not the easier or cheaper way but is the most sincere with the original spirit, more human feeling and less mass production / automated production."

Antonus Step Brother sequencing EMS Synthi A musical improvisation live

wutierson

"Testing the first new Antonus Step Brother analog sequencer with orange "classic ARP" color scheme.

The intention behind that is to show that the EMS Synthi A can do some nice tonal music, with beatiful tones and living character. With the instrument properly serviced and calibrated is not difficult to do tune and be stable for long time once warmed.

Also Antonus Step brother shows its musical and dinamic properties for sequencing not only an ARP or Antonus 2600, but any voltage controlled synthesizer.

All the music is improvised and done live with no multitrack or post process, sorry for some unpleasant or too long moments... all sounds came from the EMS Synthi A synthesizer and the control for their different sounds (bass, sequence and percussions), and expression parameters are done with the Antonus Step Brother sequencer. This idea of sequencer is to be more a dynamic musical instrument rather than a simple note sequencer, focused in real time tweak and interaction.

Instruments used:
EMS Synthi A
Antonus Step Brother
Sony R7 reverb processor"

Korg PS-3300 + Antonus Step Brother live jam demo improvisation "Last Ride Over The Course of Time"

video upload by wutierson

"Here is the first video of a series with the wonderfully enormous (in all aspects) Korg PS.3300 playing with Antonus instruments. This Korg PS3300 was in Antonus studio and workshop during some months for study, works and of course for enjoy it playing.

This first video is an improvisation using Korg PS-3300 with the Antonus Step Brother sequencer. One wonderful thing is that the Korg PS-3300 can use volt/oct scale using the pitch input and adjusting the level for correct scale making possible to use the Quantized outputs of the Step Brother. This allows to make two different sequences with the Step Brother with the 8/2 mode and play 2 parts of the 3300 (1 and 3) The part 2 is mostly used for melody and chords.

The Antonus Step Brother have many useful parts for creative patching, for interact with some parts of the 3300 and with the Step Brother itself to bring more life, movement and complexity in real time sequences and the main sound. Is is a perfect partner for such instrument, unique for being omniphonic, with patching possibilities, making unique sounds and techniques for this mixture of concepts.

The demo is recorded in one take, no multitrack was used in this recording. Only Korg PS-3300 + Antonus Step Brother + Korg SDD1200 dual delay unit.

The sound of this instruments is very very particular like no other synthesizer, it has the magic of the early synthesizers with all the beauty, the weird, the idealism, the raw, the musical and many other other adjectives proper of this kind of instruments. Is a real travel to the past while examining, studying and playing this instrument.

Listening now I find that would have been interesting to add a drum machine or modular system with drum patches for fill with other drum layers... maybe next time I can have the PS-3300 again at the studio!

The Antonus Step Brother have many useful parts for creative patching, for interact with some parts of the 3300 and with the Step Brother itself to bring more life, movement and complexity in real time sequences and the main sound.

Antonus 2600 - Test Drive 2

video upload by Tumeni Knobs

Part 1 here

"This is an extended version of the patch I created for the Antonus 'Patch Challenge'. The 90 second version was featured on their social media sites. :-) I really enjoyed listening to this patch and messing around with it, so thought I should record a longer version. This is a combination of generative and performance patching in that I could let it run for hours and it would be dynamic enough to listen to in the background, but it also was good fun to actively mess around with.

The hardware is the Antonus 2600 DIY version, with the Antonus SidecARP Eurorack expansion case, the Arturia KeyStep Pro and Fractal Audio VP4.

SidecARP modules are, from left to right:
ALM - Pamela's New Workout
Stochastic Instruments - Stochastic Inspiration Generator
Qu-Bit - Surface
Addac - Swell Physics
Molten Modular - Motion MTR
Black Corporation - Deckard's Voice
Make Noise - Mimeophon
Qu-Bit - Nautilus,
ALM - S.B.G Pro
Roland - 531 Mixer

KSP provides a clock signal to PNW and the five step "anchor" arpeggio to the 2600 Osc 1. SIG provides three separate sequences to ARP Osc 3, Surface and Deckard's Voice. The notes are based on the Dm scale. 2600 Osc 2 is LFOing the Cutoff. 2600 Noise is randomly mixed in for added texture. VP4 is used for some subtle flanger and reverb on the 2600 (through the S.B.G. Pro), but I also mix in some clock-sync'd panning and some delay. Surface goes into Nautilus and Deckard goes into Mimeophon. All mixed together in the Roland 531 mixer. Recorded on iPhone 12 Max through an iRig Pro from 531 line outs."

MOE Chorus 60 with Antonus 2600 Original Size part 1

video upload by wutierson

"First part of a serie of videos showing the wonderful sound and different creative uses of the Mother On Earth Chorus 60, by far the best Juno 6/60 chorus clone in pedal format, using exactly the same components and circuitry and also adding some nice extra features and controls.

Making an awesome combo with the Antonus 2600 Original Size, replica of the ARP2600. Very noticeable how nice works this chorus with synthesizers. Is no easy to find pedals that sounds good on synthesizers rather than only in guitars and this pedal sound so nice in all terrains. It makes the lush chorus sound and at same time it works with all the complex harmonic content of the synthesizer sound with more low range frequencies, different than the other more specific guitar oriented pedals. Also it preserves the quick transient and dynamics very good considering the nature of this kind of effects and preserves the low end and high frequency definition. Also very good balance between dry and wet signals levels.

This recording is done using without extra process and sound make up, only just the sound of the 2600 and the Chorus 60.

In this first video we focus in more regular chorus uses, from the classic Juno ranges to different levels of modulation amount and speed using the controls and from time to time switching from processed to dry signals (notice the red colour at the pedal switch when effect is OFF and blue when effect is ON)

In other videos we will show the nice feature of the external CV control and feedback loop techniques.

Both Antonus and MOE are handcraft companies making high grade products with care and love. Antonus working in Barcelona and Mother on Earth working in Israel.

Both brands products are available for distribution at www.enlo-1.com shop, making easy for EU customer to purchase the MOE Chorus 60."

AnTonus 2600 basic sounds samples

Published on Apr 12, 2016 wutierson

"English:
Here is a compilation of basic sounds coming from the Antonus 2600 This is an ARP 2600 clone, based on TTSH format but using different pcb and with some adjust and tweaking to get the same spirit of the famous ARP 2600 grey face (transistor leader VCF)
All the sounds are coming from the Antonus2600 synth, even the true spring reverb effect. Not external eq, compression and fx's were used, it's only direct sound output from the instrument.
The intention of this video is to show some essences of the 2600 sound to listen and see how the synths responds at oscillator, filter envelopes and VCA. It's not necessary to show extremely complex patches to show the living sound and musicality of the parameters, for example the ADSR times and curves, the VCA response. You can see how can reach good lead sounds, bass, percussion and drones with only a few connections. This is the magic of the 2600 original design, alive, warm and musical from scratch.
If you want more complex patches with sequences, noises, fx's... there is a lot of 2600 videos around youtube... I do this to show the basic and classic sound of this instrument.
Here's the resume of the sounds of this video:
1-Saw wave sounds
2-Square and pulse sounds.
3-PWM sounds.
4-Percusion sounds using only filter with/without pre-amp distortion
5-R2D2 "torture" session :) Here a more complicated patch to do this.

Old-School Power, New-School Build | Antonus 2600 at Superbooth 2025

video upload by Jonathan Knightsnare

"While exploring Superbooth 2025 in Berlin, one synth totally stole the show for me: the Antonus 2600—a full-size, hand-built tribute to the legendary ARP 2600.

Crafted in Barcelona, this beast stays true to the analog legacy of the original, with stunning build quality, premium sliders, and a sound that’s fat, raw, and alive. The Antonus 2600 isn’t just a clone—it’s a fully playable analog synth built with modern precision and deep respect for history.

This model features the same dimensions as the original 1970s ARP 2600, with handcrafted wooden sides and a powerful integrated speaker system, making it a centerpiece synth for any serious setup. It also includes MIDI and CV options, so it plays nicely in both vintage and modern workflows.

If you're a fan of East Coast subtractive synthesis or want a true tactile analog experience—this is it.

🌀 About Superbooth:
Superbooth is the world’s leading trade show for electronic music instruments, held annually in Berlin. From modular madness to analog classics, it’s where synth dreams come alive.

Antonus 2600 + Step Brother + Black Corporation ISE NIN demo jam

video upload by wutierson

"Here is a demo jam using Antonus 2600 Original Size version, with Step Brother on top and the Black Corporation ISE-NIN. All the track is done in realtime, no multitrack recording. Antonus 2600 and Step Brother is making the different sequencer sounds, the bass drum, and the hihat sound plus some other sound during the perfomance. ISE-NIN (played with midi keyboard controller) is playing two sound using the Upper and Lower layer features like the Roland Jupiter 8, one layer is for the string-pad sound and the other layer is for the arppegio-sequence-effects during the performance. Is not easy for a poly synth to play face to face without being surpassed with a synth like a 2600 and the power of the ISE-NIN makes a very good partner in sound presence and quality with the 2600 and Step Brother. I know that the demos should be short and direct but every time that I play instruments like this the time goes fast and simply at the end I don't care nothing more than enjoy playing, so I'm sorry of the demo is too long or if nobody will listen it or just make jumps during transport bar. This instruments are a true joy of play and this is the result of it. Hope somebody enjoy the sounds and can have a better idea of the nice combo that are.
Also booth instruments shares a nice orange colour details, lovely combination!"

via this auction

"Absolutely mint condition. This has only been touched by Antonus, myself [Bluetech] and Lisa Bella Donna. Why settle for cheaply made mass market synths "inspired" by the 2600 when you can get quality handmade real deal monster machine? Already in the states, avoid months long wait and customs and import duties and heavy shipping costs.

Made with custom Blue LEDs for that extra special sparkle.

Antonus 2600

The reinterpretation of the mythic ARP 2600 analog synthesizer. We have faithfully reproduced all aspects of the original electronic design so as not to lose a nuance of the mythical sound that characterizes it. We love its sound and behavior so we don’t intend to “improve it”. Of course, we wanted to adapt it to the current standards of use for which we have opted for a more compact format, without losing any of the feeling and comfort of the original design in addition to adding MIDI connectivity.

Step Brother

A unique sequencer design, the perfect mate of our modular system. Based on the design of the ARP Sequencer 1601 but expanded. We have added a Clock Divider, an ADSR, a VCO / LFO and 2 VCAs, and of course, MIDI connection. A sequencer system fully oriented for live performance and for immediate improvisation. Of course made with the classic 2600 design rules."

Technosaurus Selector C with Antonus Step Brother Improvisation Demos by Anton's

video uploads by Antonus

"There is not many Technosaurus modular demos in youtube so we take profit of have one in our workshop for check and then put for sale. This modular synthesizer makes honor to his name:

Is old, is very rare and difficult to find one in good shape and working, is big and heavy, the sound is like a big roar and can bite!
Really impressive to have one for look and for sound. It is very very special sound and behaviour, but have a lot of vintage essence, and remember a lot of the high quality sounding synthesizers from the early years, but adding modern connectivity with MIDI and standard CV/GATE with volt/octave norm.

A pleasure to have a very fine audio quality, clean and crispy, depth, with lot of dynamic range but at same time and old vintage essence. The frequency response is huge, with very low bottom and clean and vivid treble, low noise leaves, and the transients and fast times are fabulous. A wonderful balance between the classic old essences and sounding and modern and hi-fi details. Is very difficult to find a system with this personality, very unique.

All the modules are wonderful, but the triple resonator is incredible.

Here is an improvisation demo showing the melodic features, using it in a multi-timbral way, with different sequence sounds, basses, leads, percussions and noises, all in real time. For make that I use the Antonus Step Brother for take all the profit of the possibilities. The combination of the Technosaurus with the Step Brother is awesome, only need to use adapters from minijack to 1/4 jacks. Just direct sound, no post processing, no EQ, no multitrack.

This Selector C modules list:

This is the list of modules:
VCO x4
Dual Waveshaper x1
Dual Ring Modulator x1
Dual Envelope Generator x2
LFO x2
