Korg ARP 2600 (FS) - First Hands On Demo - [NO TALKING]

Marshal Arnold

"Korg ARP 2600 (FS) - First Hands On Demo - [NO TALKING]

Well, it has arrived! The amazing ARP 2600 has been faithfully recreated by Korg and boy did they do a wonderful job! This is the 1st time I've ever used an ARP 2600 so I still have lots of exploring to do, but this is my 1st hands on demo. I created a few patches, but in future videos I will get a hold of some patch sheets and try out some other sounds. Let me know what you'd like to hear, bass? Leads? Splits?

Hats off to the team at Korg for making this possible!"

Paul Hartnoll meets the new 2600

Published on Apr 20, 2020 Korg

"We headed to Brighton to meet up with Paul Hartnoll, one half of the pioneering EDM duo Orbital. The reason for the visit was to introduce him to the new ARP 2600!

Paul is no stranger to this iconic synthesiser, having purchased a 2600 for Orbital back in 1993, and is still the pride of place in his studio. Paul told us “We used 2600 a lot on the albums In Sides and Snivilisation, (particularly) on the track Kien Trink Wasser. It starts quite orchestral then jumps into a big bass drop which was the 2600. The original is all over those albums, sometimes more subtly”.

In this video, you can see Paul take a first look at the new ARP2600 FS, making some initial comparisons to the original. “The added LFO is a great addition. I love that feature”. Summarising, Paul describes the 2600FS as a “fresh, sparkly, clean (dirty) ARP - straight out of the box”.

Note: Filmed way back when life was normal, pre isolation!"

KORG Reveals Upcoming PS-3300 FS

Update: I'm hearing the PS-3300 will be available in late 2024, built-to-order, for an etimated price of $13,000.

KORG is bringing out a full-size reissue of the PS-3300. Details follow.

The PS-3300 FS is a full-scale reissue of the original Korg PS-3300, a legendary and ultra-rare synthesizer designed by legendary Korg engineer Fumio Mieda and produced by Korg in very limited numbers from 1977 to 1981.

The PS-3300 FS reissue marks a new milestone in synth history, and the latest achievement by the same Korg engineering team that brought back iconic machines such as the MS-20, ARP ODYSSEY, miniKORG 700 FS and ARP 2600.

“Bringing back to life these legendary machines is not only a process of reproducing circuits and sounds, but also of learning and embracing the essence of the philosophy and development of synthesizers.

Through this project I was able to relive the history of Korg and a critical moment in the evolution of our synthesizers. This was an extremely valuable experience that provided an opportunity for Korg's philosophy and technology to be carried on to future generations.”

- Yoshihito Yamada, Chief Engineer of Korg Analog Synthesizers

Key features
49 keys / 49 voice analog polyphony (the original model had 48 keys / voices)

3 Layers: The PS-3300 consists of three synthesizer units (PSU-3301) and a mixer & utility section (PSU-3302)

Three independent oscillators, plus multiple filters, envelopes and amplifiers for every note on its keyboard, for a total of 147 synth voices of raw analog power

Microtuning knob x12 on each PSU-3301 unit

New panel memory function (16 programs per bank and 16 banks = 256 slots)

Modernised for contemporary music use with the inclusion of USB / MIDI jacks, and a dedicated librarian app for easy preset management

Semi-modular

3-Band Resonator: Three frequency bands can be emphasised, a feature unique to the PS-3300 (original was a Cadmium sulfide circuit, but it was replaced with modern components for safety and to comply with regulations)

Keyboard unit (PS-3010) included

ARP 2600 + Dual LFO Sequence Demo

video by O.Z. Hall

"My friend James Carr built a cabinet for Eurorack modules to fit beneath my Korg ARP 2600 FS. It has two rows of 126 HP. The size is the same as three rows of 84 HP, like the Doepfer 9U cabinet.
I'm demoing a technique for generating a sequence by mixing the output of two LFOs. The output is quantized for easy tuning. The trigger input to the quantizer controls when the quantizer output voltage is updated.
I hope you enjoy this demo."

3am - ARP 2600 FS and Audity One

video upload by justin3am

"In this video I'm playing my ARP 2600 through an Audity One recording amp from Curious Audio. https://curiousaudio.us

The 2600's balanced output is connected to the Audity One's transformer balanced line input. The mics I'm using are a 414 and an SE VR-1 ribbon mic through a pair of 1073 preamp clones. This amp is ideal for re-amping synths or anything really because of it's broad frequency spectrum and surprisingly low noise floor. This patch is using relatively little of the Audity One's available gain, just to illustrate the character of the amp. I hope to do some more extreme sounds when I can really let it rip!"

NAMM 2020: Korg MS-20 FS Sounds

Published on Jan 17, 2020 Perfect Circuit

"On the heels of their reissue of the classic ARP 2600, Korg have announced plans to bring back the Korg MS-20—in its original size and in several limited edition colors.

The Korg MS-20 made waves when it was first introduced in 1978; it was one of the most affordable synthesizers of all time, bringing the immediacy of fixed-architecture synths and the flexibility of modular into a single strangely-shaped package. With its intense, howling dual filter, peculiar external signal processing, and open-ended patch bay, the MS-20 is still one of the most singular synthesizers ever made, with a gritty, robust voice all its own.
Korg's MS-20 FS will be available in the spring in four limited edition colors. For anyone looking to re-live the sound of a synth that defined the sound of the late '70s and 80s, MS-20 FS is not to be missed.
