ARP 2600 Clone?

[electro]

I don't use TimewARP 2600 because it's buggy as hell, and Arturia's is nice, especially with the recent upgrade to the sound engine, but isn't supposedly authentic. Unless there is a 2600 that is authentic and at the same quality and stability as u-he's Diva or ACE, then I'm not much interested.

what bugs does the latest Timewarp version still have?

Also, u-he's ACE is inspired mostly by the ARP 2600.

It is? Interesting, I never knew that. And what does it mean for ACE because "being Inspired by" is always such a vague term

In this case I think it's a very loose inspiration. I might be wrong, but ACE's filter doesn't remind me much of the 2600's (I can only base it on my Studio Electronics' ARP filter clone), though it's cool in it's own right. In my test next to the clone, ACE gets thinner at high resonance where the hardware stays beefier in the midrange all the way though a sweep of the filter. ACE also only has two oscillators, no spring reverb emulation (though chorus and delay) two dedicated LFOs, and lots and lots of other differences. That's why I think you and I have never really heard that ACE was inspired by the 2600.
