Korg ARP 2600 FS Semi-Modular Synthesiser

• A complete full-sized reproduction
• Produced with the continuing supervision of ARP co-founder David Friend, following his work with the ARP ODYSSEY
• The reissue is based on the most well-known mid-era model (suitcase type with separate sound module and keyboard sections, and a gray panel with white silk-screening)
• A dedicated road case that accommodates the sound module and keyboard for easy transportation and full protection is included
• Semi-modular type that does not require patching
• Three oscillators that feature powerful output and can also be used as an LFO
• A filter that produces rich low-end
• Switch between two types of filters: early–mid period, and late period) (4012 type, 4072 type)
• XLR balanced outputs have been added (L, R)
• DIN MIDI connectors have been added
• USB MIDI has been added
• Carefully selected components provide slider operation that is smoother than the original
