KORG Software ARP 2600 v1.2.2 Mac

MORiA | STANDALONE | AUi | VST3i

KORG ARP 2600 是一款由 KORG 官方推出的软件插件，作为
KORG Collection 及更高版本的一部分，它不仅忠实地模拟了 1971 年经典半替代合成器的声音，还加入了大象现代功能。

独一无二的ARP 2600。这款标志性的合成器几乎是所有主流录音棚的必备之选。在二手市场上，它的价格更是高得惊人。2020年，KORG推出限量版ARP 2600 FS，瞬间在全球范围内售罄。如今，KORG荣幸地推出首款真正精准还原这款经典合成器的软件：KORG Collection ARP 2600。

KORG 独有的 CMT 技术忠实地再现了 ARP 2600 的独特波形和滤波器、自定义 LFO 和包络形状、众多微妙的非线性特性，甚至连接线板的操作都一丝不苟——这是其他任何 2600 软件乐器都无法比拟的。正是由于这种对细节的极致追求，您可以打开原版 ARP 2600 音色库（可在 KORG 官网免费下载 PDF 版本），在屏幕上连接 100 个音色，它们听起来就像一台真正的 ARP 2600——这是其他任何 2600 插件都无法做到的。

将 ARP 2600 带入现代，
保留其卓越的音质、强大的灵活性和独特的个性仅仅是开始。为了真正致敬这款传奇乐器的传承，我们扪心自问：如果 ARP 在今天重新设计 ARP 2600，它会是什么样子？为此，我们进行了诸多改进，包括增加第二个滤波器、驱动电路、新的调制源、强大的 MIDI 控制功能、先进的音序器、高达 16 复音等等——所有这些都旨在保留 ARP 2600 的经典设计精髓。

细节之处见真章。
我们的工程师花费了大量时间，深入研究原始和现代电路图的每一个细节，仔细研读原版 2600 的用户手册，使用示波器进行测试，而最重要的是，反复聆听。例如，原始的 AR 和 ADSR 包络看似简单，但为了达到完美效果，我们花费了大量的时间和精力进行调整。振荡器波形完全正确，包括那些细微的瑕疵，这些瑕疵赋予了声音独特的明亮感（尤其对于三角波和正弦波而言）。我们对原版 VCF 模块 4012 和 4072 进行了建模，并提供了一个切换开关。我们保留了原硬件上的所有饱和点，以及赋予声音生命力的微妙失真。遍布各个模块的广泛抗混叠技术，使我们能够提供真正优质的音频质量。KORG 的组件建模技术 (CMT) 包含了模拟组件之间的差异，就像您在多台硬件 2600 中听到的那样，从而在复音演奏时呈现自然丰富的音色。

在接线板外面，有 20 多个微调电位器，用于选择不同 2600 型号的行为，调整校准细节，例如方波宽度和三角波对称性（就像原始硬件一样），等等。

传承并拓展 2600 的精神
2600 比大多数复古合成器都更具独特个性。首先，它的每个部分都各不相同；每个部分都有其独特的功能（通常不止一个），并且具备相应的特性。三个 VCO 各有不同的功能。两个包络的工作方式也截然不同。它还隐藏着许多奇妙之处，例如外观相同的控制输入可能具有不同的范围、相位反转以及不寻常的波形。它是一款经过精心设计的乐器，但同时又像是由一系列定制模块组成的。这些差异不仅引导着你的视线，也让把玩它充满乐趣。你会不断地发现新事物，惊叹于“哇，我也能做到！”

在添加所有新功能时，我们决心保留原乐器的精髓。因此，我们抵制了现代乐器趋于统一和标准化的趋势。每个 VCO 仍然各不相同。当我们添加包络和 LFO 时，我们确保它们与原有的有所区别，从而创造出全新的声音，而不仅仅是“增加”功能。当我们添加第二个滤波器时，我们使其与主 VCF 完全不同。每个新功能都拥有其独特的音色。所有新增功能都采用了合理的标准连接，并集成了新的 LFO、包络和音序器。

我们也保留了原乐器的所有控制功能，即使增加了许多新功能，也依然保持了基本布局。如果您熟悉老款 2600，或者 KORG 的新款 2600 FS 和 2600 M，您会感觉非常熟悉——而且这款乐器还有更多功能可供探索。

The one and only ARP 2600. The iconic ARP 2600. It’s the one synth you can expect to see in every major studio. They demand astronomical prices on the second hand market. When KORG released the limited- edition ARP 2600 FS in 2020, they sold out immediately world-wide. Now, KORG is pleased to present the first truly accurate software re-creation of this essential synthesizer: the KORG Collection ARP 2600.

KORG’s proprietary CMT technology faithfully reproduces the distinctive waveforms and filters, the custom LFO and envelope shapes, the many subtle nonlinearities, even the behavior of the patch panel – unlike any other 2600 software instrument. Thanks to this obsessive attention to detail, you can open the original ARP 2600 Patch Book (available as a free PDF on KORG’s website), hook up each of the 100 patches on screen, and they will sound just like an authentic ARP 2600 – something that no other 2600 plug-in can do.

Bringing the 2600 into the modern age
Preserving the fantastic sound quality, incredible flexibility, and quirky attitude of the original was only the beginning. To truly honor the legacy of this legendary instrument, we asked ourselves: if ARP redesigned the 2600 today, what would it be like? In response we made many improvements, including adding a second filter, a drive section, new modulation sources, extensive MIDI control, a sophisticated sequencer, up to 16-voice polyphony, and much more – all while keeping the spirit of the original ARP 2600 design.

Beauty in the details
Our engineers spent considerable time understanding every detail of the original and modern schematics, poring over the original 2600 manuals, testing with oscilloscopes, and most importantly listening.The original AR and ADSR envelopes, for example, might seem simple – but it took a lot of time and tweaking to get them just right. The oscillator waveforms are correct, including the slight imperfections that add a unique brightness (especially for the triangle and sine). We modeled both of the original VCF modules, the 4012 and the 4072, with a switch to select between them. We included all of the many saturation points on the original hardware, with subtle distortions that bring life to the sound. Extensive anti-aliasing techniques spread throughout the different modules let us deliver truly premium audio quality. KORG’s Component Modeling Technology (CMT) includes variations between analog components, just as you’d find with multiple hardware 2600s, to deliver natural richness when playing polyphonically.

Outside the patch panel, there are 20-odd Trim Pots to select between behaviors of different 2600 vintages, dial in calibration details such as square wave width and triangle wave symmetry (just like the original hardware), and more.

Preserving and expanding the 2600 spirit
Even more than most vintage synths, the 2600 has a character all its own. To begin with, no two sections are alike; each has its own purpose (often more than one) and capabilities to match. Each of the three VCOs has different features.The two envelopes work very differently. There are many hidden quirks, such as different ranges for identical-looking control inputs, phase inversions, and unusual waveforms. It’s a carefully considered instrument, but it also feels like a collection of bespoke modules. The differences guide the eye, and also simply make it fun to play around with. There’s a constant sense of discovery, of “wow, I can make it do that, too!”

When adding all of the new capabilities, we were determined to preserve the spirit of the original instrument. So, we resisted the modern urge to unify and standardize. Each of the VCOs is still different. When we added an envelope and an LFO, we made sure that they were different from the originals, enabling new sounds instead of just “more.” When we added a second filter, we made it entirely different from the main VCF. Each new feature speaks with its own voice. All of the additions have sensible normalled connections, incorporating the new LFO, envelope, and sequencer.

We also kept all of the controls of the original instrument, and even with all of the additions, we preserved the basic layout. If you’re familiar with the old 2600, or KORG’s new 2600 FS and 2600 M, you’ll feel right at home – but with even more to play with.
