ARP 2600 Tutorial #1 Kick, Snare and Bass Performance Patch 

Thanks Lukas! The ARP2600 is a beautiful instrument

Thanks Douglas - glad to hear it’s helping you dig deep into the 2600 🎉

Thanks @miketschudi2687 Hope it helped your 2600 to groove more!

@@EdChivers yes id did indeed. thanx!

Thanks! Yeah it’s a great tool for switching audio sources on/off, and jumping between different modulation sources/destinations. Feel like I’ve not even scratched the surface of possibilities 😂

@@NoizeToy2 One other handy way I have seen the switch used is as a unipolar square LFO. Like, sending some fixed Cv on one side and keeping the other side to zero. It opens the possibility of modulating the frequency of a VCO with it, in a way that becomes very easy to tune: you can easily make a VCO play two fixed notes alternatively, which would otherwise be very difficult to tune properly using just the “normal” square bipolar LFO. Your trick here reminded me of that other one. The 2600 does feel like a whole uncharted territory to explore, indeed. And to think it was one of the very first synth to be designed ever ! I have a huge admiration for the ARP team who created it.

@@goingmodular oooh gonna try that - thanks for the tip!

Nice 😊 Hope it gives you some nice rhythms!

@@NoizeToy2 oh it absolutely did just got done jamming for about 3 hours with your patch at the core. Great stuff. Thanks again.

@@edrift3d nice to hear it! 🙌

Thanks!

Ahh nice - never thought of preamp feedback as a mod source 👍

Just tried this - it works really well! The feedback is a square wave so you need to run it through the slew to get a sine out of it. The higher the range: the slower the LFO. Thanks for the tip 🙂
