Urs mentioned once they might add other filters, closer to 2600 some day.

Way Out Ware released their 2600 in 2005 and it wasn´t bad, just imagine how it could sound today. It is a shame they haven´t released a new Version with a Filter redesign.

Indeed ACE is becoming from my top top synths! How I overlooked it before?!

Yes, it needs some tweaking to become imperfect. New filters would make it also near.

Timewarp 2600 sounds good. It has that punch but misses the clarity of ACE in both sound and GUI. To be honest, I can't be that bothered about tweaking anything in Timewarp 2600 or Arturia 2600 after I have a go with ACE

I mean the clear nice big GUI and the great sound really make me not care that much if I want that ARP sound!

Anyway, I agree that both Timewarp's and Arturia's ones need a major update in both sound and GUI. I'm not sure even if I can say that I'm waiting for them now! I'm enjoying my time with ACE when I need that punchy analog feel (Monark is in the same league of course and it is also can make some of the ARPy sounds because of its great filter, I also begin to experience with Vacuum Pro which also sounds great but I didn't try to make ARPy sounds with it yet). Those three are my best analog synths at the moment. How far or near they are from 2600?! I don't know. It would be nice if I hear some others trying with those three synths.

Well I'd rather go further, they were really good for 2005 - were doing good progress on reducing osc alias and increasing filter realism. But, it's 2015 and vst market is 10 years older. They are no competition to modern synths.

It's still 2015?

So now I have this ballsy timewARP 2600,
where can I find some presets which will have me tripping balls?
...and and just anything about the warp, as I have got it now

where ? the better question might be 'when ?' ... the answer to which is: many years ago.

this plugin/developer is the definition of abandonware.

In 2009ish, Jim from wayoutware was working for Rodger Linn on the Adrenalinn sync plug in.
By 2015 it had been dropped as Jim hadn't done any work on it for 3 years or so.
I wouldn't hold your breathe for any Timewarp updates. Especially now that it's sold by a third party.

Oh OK,
I kinda knew it was from 2006.
I'll see what I can tease out of it, and thanks for the inside info.
If anyone wants it, the purchase went smoothly apart from a refresh.
Any patching tips?
btw it is heavy as the proverbial on CPU when poly

I own TimeWARP but haven't really used it lately. My impression was that it's great at churning out grungy, gritty basslines, but I later came to favor Poly-Ana for similar tones. I never tried to program the TimeWARP so have no idea if my impressions as to its capabilities were skewed by the presets it shipped with.

I've got some out of this world patches, been working on them since 2008.
And yeah, many of them rip your balls off. This synth is good at that... I should make a bank out of all this, have over 800 patches or something. Most of it sounds 70's, but good and useful, rather than abstract useless.

Any news on the 2.0 front?

Reaktor 6 Blocks is your best bet for ARP 2600 type stuff I'd say outside of Timewarp.

ARP 2600 Clone?
