you can't blame the synth for your lack of knowledge

... or for the lack of originality of people on Youtube showcasing it.

I agree though. Many synth demos, especially the analog ones, are beyond horrible. But then again, those people aren't professional "musicians", right? I'm still wondering what they do with all the gear they have at home though. Such weird fart sounds all day long? I mean, not that I wouldn't do them. Acctidentally, sometimes, when experimenting with this and that. I definitely think you can showcase such a synth in a much better way. But, again, what can you expect from some vloggers?

Closest I found was a Mikael Jorgensen(at least MJ), no Jarré that had a showroom of it just some short tour of gear.

I think at about 3:40 or so there started to some musical stuff as well.
Tone is really nice.
But this was not Behringer then.

He enhances with some effects where he says so.

It's like it lack some low end like DeepMind unless you use the Boost thingy on DM. But could be I download and get only 96 kbps in that resolution.

Sums in 4 minutes what's not to bother to look at - agree fully with his statements.
I wasted 25 minutes on one he sampled, completely useless as sounds goes. Talk, talk, talk for 15 minutes before one sound and then just blips.

There ought to be something other that blips and stuff you can do?
Did anybody find reviews that had experience maybe with original 2600's?

Quite a few at Korg forum were ready to flesh out for the FS version even.

Just that it looks so different than most synths is a bit intriguing, but you want to hear something what it can do. Maybe combine something with Neutron.

Saw that Gear4music had Behringer versions listed as arriving 3 weeks into january. Same for MonoPoly.

Have not seen Pro 800 yet as listed, so further down the road most likely.

So you registered on this forum 15 years ago ,whcih means you've been into music at least 15 years , that's enough time to learn and know what (subtractive ) synths are capable off , no ?
Why do you think the arp 2600 is any different ?
Some people are just

Yes, why did Korg think it was different and released a limited edition for $4000 that sold out in wiff.

Everybody knows all subtractive synths are created equal.....Moog, Sequential, Roland the lot.....and yet they get the sell them over and over....

My point was that the topic starter had doubts about the musical potential the arp 2600 has , simply because he based his assumptions on the many e blip-bloops videos on you tube , reducing it to a bleep machine .
Just having a look at the front panel panel of the arp 2600 and you know it has tremendous potential .

yeah, and why don't they show this - was MY point, if it escaped anybody......and the question in title "does anybody know how to use it - for musical purposes".....

Blips are excellent if you want to sound like Vegas casino full of onearmed tic-toc-toe bandits.....or a pinball game.....

Do you need to be convinced that a car can actually drive and take you from point A to B when there's a peacock behind the steering wheel ?
If you do this either means you don't know the inner workings of a car , or you have to much trust in the peacock

Filteria is selling his original ARP 2600 from the 70's btw.. ~€6800.

He is a true master of melodies and goa trance (no he didn't bring the ARP to a dirty festival)..

no. noone knows how to use it for musical purposes, especially not your definition of 'musical.' the few youtube videos you've found reflect the sum of human knowledge on the subject. congratulations on the depth of your research, time for you to move on to greater things.

Lots of patchpoints and huge panel does not impress me.
Looked more like a mainframe computer from the 50's.

The hype quite a few showed at Korg forum suggested this would really be a piece worth owning. Even at Korg pricetag.

And all the "peacocks" I saw on YT suggest the opposite.

So wanted samples of the former - the hype - to see what that was about.
So far it seems more like nostalgia hitting people like corona - and their wallet goes up in flames. Even if Behringer allow it to be a match lighting....

Good advice, so it is written so it will happen......with all the delays in manufacturing of things I attempt to get all we can do is window shopping for amusement.....

Everybody... nah, count me out of that "everybody" I have my own body, thank you... maybe your ears can't tell the difference but mine can.
In the 1970's and 80's I used to use EMS_VC3, ARP_Odessy and a Roland system 100 (101+102).. and man.. they were/are not.. let me repeat that NOT equal.

The 2600 - does anybody know how to use it - for musical purposes?
