The Most Iconic Synth for Modern Musicians!
Korg - 'ARP 2600 M'
The genuine ARP 2600 - just in a more convenient size!
Korg’s classic ‘ARP 2600’ it’s fair to say, is arguable one of the most iconic and instantly recognisable synths of all time. It’s sounds can be heard in innumerable hit songs, film scores, TV shows and game soundtracks since it’s inception in the 70’s, right through to today. The ARP 2600 is still an essential component of the music world.
The latest release, the ‘ARP 2600 M’ packs all of what made the original so revered, but in a much more compact and portable size, and includes additional features which make it the perfect incarnation of this iconic synthesizer.
A legend, rebornWhen Korg ARP announced the '2600 FS' in January 2020, it quickly became a phenomenal success with musicians all over the world recognizing the faithfulness to the original ARP 2600.
The ARP 2600 M is around 60% the original size, making it lighter, more portable and easier to place and use in a studio. It integrates the same analog circuitry and components as the ARP 2600 FS, thus faithfully reproducing the characteristic ARP sound.
Amazing Features
• Large diaphragm cartridge provides wider dynamic range for clear highs and strong lows
• Cardioid polar pattern picks up audio from the source while rejecting unwanted noise
• Updated industrial design with black metallic finish and grille for unobtrusive visual presence
• High-pass filter for additional control of unwanted low-end signal
• -15dB switchable attenuator for additional SPL versatility
• Shock mount included for additional set-up stability and minimization of unwanted mechanical noise
• Padded zipper case included for additional protection during storage or transport
A Must-Have in The Studio!

'More than a synthesizer'It is not by chance that the ARP 2600 has been so extremely popular to this day.
More than a synthesizer, the ARP 2600 M is a complete sound design studio. Even today, the ARP 2600 stands as a bridge between the individual elements of modular synthesis and the immediacy of a production / performance instrument.
Included are an ample supply of oscillators, envelopes, a filter and amplifier – all of the building blocks of analog synthesis. But the ARP 2600 M goes even further, with a spring reverb tank and even a pair of built in monitor speakers. Also present is much of the versatility of a vintage modular system, including a ring modulation, lag and voltage processors, an envelope follower, audio preamp, a clock-able switch, noise source, a sample-and-hold module, signal inverters, an auxiliary mixer, and even a set of parallel-wired/multi jacks.
Proudly Designed and Made in Japan
Dedicated Carry Case IncludedThe ARP 2600 M is built in Japan with the same care and extraordinary quality standard as the ARP 2600 FS, and uses the same analog components to accurately reproduce the sound and feel of the original. The Spring Reverb has been re-engineered and adapted to the new size body to the same lush effect.
The ARP 2600 M comes with a dedicated Carry Case that not only protects your instrument, but also makes it easier to transport, thanks to its custom casters with special anti-shock damping technology. There is also enough space to carry other gear together, like your favourite volca, SQ-64 or MIDI controller!
Added Features and Functionality
The new ARP 2600 M is not only faithful to the original, it also includes an array of added features that will make it even easier to use:
Plug and playConnect any class compliant MIDI controller such as a KORG microKeys, nanokeys or SQ-64 to one of the ARP 2600 M’s USB ports (USB-A and USB-B) and automatically get full control of your instrument!
ResizedThe new size makes it easier to visualize your patch and also allows you to use shorter patch cables.
2 types of filtersFrom two versions of the original ARP 2600（4012 type, 4072 type DIN MIDI IN added.
Normalized voltageThe threshold of the trigger signal required to activate the ADSR through the S/H GATE JACK has become 5V, making it much easier to use in combination with other gear such as volcas or Eurorack modules.
Improved Attack and ReleaseTime ratios
L/R Stereo
Output JackMuch more versatile than traditional XLR.
SpeakersTurn automatically off when using headphones.
Improved, smoother slidersTurn automatically off when using headphones.
