Description

KORG ARP 2600 – Legendary Semi-Modular Synth Reimagined in Software

The KORG ARP 2600 is the first truly authentic software recreation of the iconic ARP 2600, one of the most celebrated analog synthesizers in history. Powered by KORG’s proprietary Component Modeling Technology (CMT), this virtual instrument captures every nuance of the original hardware — from its signature oscillators, filters, and envelopes to the subtle non-linearities and patch panel behavior. For the first time, you can open the original ARP 2600 patch book, recreate its legendary sounds inside your DAW, and experience the magic of one of the most influential synths ever made.

Designed not only as a faithful emulation but also as a modern evolution, the software ARP 2600 introduces powerful new features such as a second filter, drive section, advanced modulation sources, expanded MIDI control, polyphony up to 16 voices, and a built-in sequencer — all while preserving the workflow and sound design philosophy that made the original a studio classic. Whether you’re exploring analog synthesis for the first time or chasing the legendary tones heard on albums by Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Jean-Michel Jarre, Stevie Wonder, and countless others, the ARP 2600 delivers timeless sound with modern flexibility.
