I take it you folks haven't heard a real Arp 2600? This emulation really doesnt sound anything like an Arp.

It's lack a gritty chracter as well as some punch. It is way to clean sounding. I think Arturia is losing it.

I certainly have, having owned one for several years.

I think it's a very good emulation. The envelopes seem to track very "Arpy" to me.

I think there will be some confusion about this one, owing to the fact that there were 3 or 4 2600 designs, with different filter circuits ... so there will be a lot of different takes on what a 2600 should sound like.

I'll have to contact the guy that bought my 2600 from me and see what he thinks, but it sure sounds spiffy to me.

It's getting panned pretty hard over at harmony central. alot of talk of "MMv in a new skin".

Can't say I disagree.
