ARP 2600 pt2 : classic Lead and Bass

Recorded through Allen&Heath ZED R16's A/D converters with no EQ or processing.
I recently had recapped and modified my early 70's Tonus-logo ARP 2600 synthesizer. Everything works great now, plus my tech added extended FM and keyboard/LFO functions - even better than new! You can achieve these sounds using a stock 2600 as well, but mine has a few paths re-routed for convenience, also a rebuilt key-assembly, filter and PSU, an extra LFO etc.

@ALFA8902

thanks.

my tech is in Prescott AZ - Kurt's Amp&Key Repair, expensive but worth it. Other guys on AH forum use him, too.

I had osc2's sine output replace the 3rd FM input of osc 1 & 3, for proper PWM. Also the stock greyface's keyboard is the weakest link imho; so I added LFO tri/sqr out and portamento is now exponential (snappy!).
