Same here. Just got a Prophet Rev 2. It's been a while before that even, since I bought a new synth, but I'm all about this. I don't even have any of the other Behringer synths yet.
My dude, Uli, please, roll these out ASAP, I can think of nothing better than spending the remainder of quarantine with a Behringer 2600

Siunds great, always thought these were cool, If it's about 900 quid i'll buy it, but i ain't paying crazy prices like what korg want for an almost 50 year old bit of technology fuck that..

@Rhizosphere Fingers crossed buddy, as i say if its under a grand sure i'll snap one up, Behringer are absolutely killin it at the moment..
I’d love to have any working original or reissue or clone 2600, at a price I can afford. Best synth I’ve ever spent time with, absolutely amazing. If they were to be available for enough under a $1000 I’d buy at least 2 of them, I have a wall of synths and none of them can do what single 2600 so please for the love of humanity please unleash the Behringer 2600+ 2020 sucks, this would make isolation joyful
@Bootsandcats duders drum machines are cool and , han=ve some cool units, but for real , if you don't have on there are a bunch of awesome ones out there and most are greatish. NOTHING ELSE BEHRINGER is working on matters on the same Level as an affordable ARP 2600, played on one for several months years ago and realllllllly nothing else before or after compares at all in any way at all nothing else has ever ever been close....the EMS Synthi is its own other next level machine
Behringer please listen to my prayers 🙏🙏❤️ What would be a GREAT idea for Behringer to do would be to make a new 4 track tape recorder (like tascam porta one). Everyone is dying to buy used tape recorders nowdays but you must be more than lucky to find a functional one in a reasonable price. No other company is doing this right now. It would sell like crazy!
This is a real piece of art. It surely makes some really sweet sounds in just this short video. Fantastic work again from the Behringer-Family. I am so glad that you make great sounding gear available not only to the rich and famous.
@@maydaygoingdown5602 I guarantee you can't tell the difference in a mix, which is all that matters to people who actually make music and aren't just diddling their synths in a corner. You can say what you want about build quality, I'm sure Korgs feels way higher quality. But its also ten times the price.
@@GuyGamer1 I would deffinatly tell the difference straight away...as would every other who's used an original. The much thinner tonal difference for a start and the filters sound and act nothing like the original. This sounds like anyother analogue copy...it was the same with there Odyssey copy, infact this sounds the same as that there's no difference. And that's where it falls very short, both of the Behringer copies sound to clean, the signal in the original where far from that, they where gnarly. The filters where also gnarly, not clean crisp sweeps like these. The tone was massive, not weak. I can hear the difference between this and Korgs for example...Korg has pretty much nailed it, although even the Korgs filters are still slightly to nice compared to the original...but not much...but then you can't replicate the original filters 100% because the circuitry is not 100% excact. But yeah I tip my hat to Korg, I didn't think it would be possible for them to replicate the ARP 2600, not a chance, but they pretty much have. Behringer....well...sounds like they took there Odyssey attempt and placed it inside a different housing, sonically and tonaly there is no difference...both are way too thin sonically and tonaly to be considered replicas of the originals.
You folks have resurrected my synth love. I finally layed hands on a Behringer synth for the first time this week and it was really something special. I’d been pursuing other hobbies in recent years and hadn’t seen much to demand my attention until you guys got in the game. Behringer has really breathed new life into the affordable synthesizer market.
They've done really well, great gear and great prices but this is largely a myth. Are you saying you couldn't afford Korg Volcas or Arturia Mini & Drumbrutes or the IK synth & drum machine or the KORG Mini & Monologue? Deepminds are cheap yes, but so are Minilogue and Prologue. Dreadbox Erebus and Novation Bass Station are also cheap. I own 4 of their synths and a drum machine but if they never existed the only thing I'd really be missing is the authentic Moog bass sound as no way would I pay £3500 for a Minimoog re-issue.
PaulGBass Not saying that they are the only company doing good work, but I personally wasn’t that excited or interested in those other products. At least not enough to need to add them to my arsenal. Seeing and now playing some of the new Behringer gear has rekindled my interest and it is exciting to feel a connection to synth history for such a reasonable price. Original 2600’s, Minimoogs, Octave Cats, Sequential Pro Ones were always out of reach. I’ve still got my own old synth collection. Now I’m playing them again and trying to decide what to add to the arsenal again and it is totally Behringer’s fault. I’m grateful
@@PaulGBass a volca, a dreadbox, all these machines are not a Model D, a Pro One, a Wasp, not speaking about a 2600 or the System 100m or Moog Modular 55, 35 and 15... I can understand that Behringer changed the perception of synths for a lot of people. I love the dreadbox, the minilogue is really a cool machine, but if you're not in the loop, these machines don't make your heart beating like all Behringer repros. Behringer reissues bring back memories, feelings that can't be touched by a volca or a prologue, and that can change, no, that is clearly changing the way their instruments and synths in general are perceived by many people. Not everybody is living with synths for decades, some people were out of the game for a long time. And you must accept this situation, as well as nor Korg or Roland have bring back these people to the synths world. Berhinger did it.
When all these Behringer clones started appearing I wanted them but found the idea of a primarily Behringer setup slightly embarrassing for some reason. But they’re so good that I’m actually proud to name drop and recommend and display them. The Behringer name sits confidently with all my Roland and Korg and Sequential gear. Thank you Uli for giving us peasants access to the master tools.
My Crave sits on the top tier, just above my Subharmonicon and DFAM. My Bodyssey towers above my Minilogue XD and the stand is crowned by the DM12 and VC340........ Bottom line is they are making superb sounding instruments and I don't know of any other instrument company that have come under such negative, vituperative, and nasty scrutiny as Behringer. Affordable Synths For The People!!!!
Behringer is putting some great analog synth designs into the hands of people who want to CREATE with them... not just own a collector's piece that only a few could even contemplate of laying a finger on.
@@saladdays180s9 "Why is there always animosity toward people who can buy them?" -IF you could take a step back, I think your own post would pretty much answer that question... While I may agree with some of your points, ffs quit whining like a bitch!
@@saladdays180s9 The possibilities allowing you to learn instruments are mind boggling today. BUT, why do I walk the beach and almost never encounter a group with a guitar a bottle of wine all singing together? Those pesky hours will NOT apply themselves on the necessary grind to learn the instrument, much less master it. Today, I can pull almost ANY song, transpose it, auto scroll and sing it in minutes. We were still hand copy it, when we could find it. I put several hundred hours to become intermediate guitar player. NO instrument will replace sweat.
Andrej Premk is the classic dilemma these days. That sweat also informs musical sensibility when composing. I like to accompany my synth compositions with guitar as it exposes mood and cadence possibilities.
Beast sound i am in love with this one .this is my number one synth in my wish list . great job behringer i think we all appreciate your will for us ,👏👏👏
Can not WAIT for this one. Love the time-factor switch on the envelopes. Opinions will vary of course, but I personally love that Behringer's not afraid to stray from a perfect imitation of the original with some really great additions. Of course if I could afford Korg's recent 'perfect imitation' I'd buy it in a minute. This looks gorgeous though, and obviously sounds amazing.
Zach Barnhart Yep...I just so wish they'd make all these retro reboots programable..memory is so cheap now. I do get that patch cord dependant patches would be tricky...but that's when patch charts come in.👍🏻
@@douglasb.5601 But then you have to have A to D scanners/converters on all of the sliders, that's where the cost/complexity starts to ramp up I think.
I've got a TTSH that I built, and another that I'm building, but even so I'm looking longingly at the extra LFO, the VCO sync and the other little extra bits...
MrMargaretScratcher Fair point...especially on complex synths like the 2600. On the Pro 1 and the MS1 (SH101 clone) I would happily pay £100 more for memories though.
Super awesome, finally the 2600 can be affordable for the masses, Behringer is making people's dream a reality. Now bring the Linndrum and I will be very grateful.
Why do you want them to remake an effin sampler which has been replaced by virtually any other sampler drum machine for the last 30 years. Name 1 thing LM1 could do that others can't and is worth replicating? The shoddy looks maybe?
intheblink it’s epic. Shame it’s not an old school spring reverb though... don’t think the digital one is too convincing. Maybe Behringer can make a 1U rack spring reverb as this looks like 9U so room for one in a standard 10U frame like the one shown 😉 hint hint @Behringer
Jeeez Uli .... you need to star as a cameo role in the next Bond movie (seriously) ... at an insane $599 rrp for this beast, you really ARE going to take over the World (!!!, na-haa-ha-ha-haaaaaaa [the villain's cackle]). My studio is going to look like a Behringer synth museum by the end of the year!!!!!! Thank-You. 🙃👍🎶🎹🍻
The 2600 was ignored studiously by the many electronic music lab students at LCC back around 1984. I spent many a fantastic hour using the 2600 waiting my turn at the DX7 assignment. The lab teacher never used it a single day if I remember correctly. Making patches and asking the piano playing synth nuts there to try to make a noise with it, or even music Was really funny !!! Great for FX , samples or even a drone or blip or two! My Uncle used the 2600 on star trek to great effect.... Douglas you rocked!
Wow! Uli has done an amazing job resurrecting so many of these classic analog synths at very affordable prices. The 2600 looks gorgeous. Can't wait until its available.
@@maydaygoingdown5602 You base that on ... what? I bet they are almost identical under the covers. (FWIW, I like them both, and hope to get the Korg as well as this)
@@maydaygoingdown5602 The 2600? It would be so awesome to own! But i'm talking about the *2500* eurorack modules they posted on facebook. They look nice so check them out. I think they're developed by the same guy helping to create the 2600 because he has a history of vintage clone eurorack gear.
i dunno if its just the sound of this synth or the guy really knows what hes doing but it seems like he can do NO wrong when he adjusts paramaters. everything he does brings out good sounds from this thing. please GOD let this not be stupidly expensive i need one.
And Behringer bought the rights to manufacture some of the Curtis synth chips, which no one else makes anymore. www.synthtopia.com/content/2020/07/08/behringer-clones-curtis-cem3396-analog-synth-on-a-chip/ -- also check out the ARP history video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l31RXiVSI9s.html.
I keep wondering if they will actually make this 2600? They announced it over 6 months ago, and we have heard nothing since. It sure looks great in these videos, and sounds awesome!
Gary Turner I can’t wait for this..... people are already selling the korg 2600 reissue on reverb for like twice the purchase price...... that’s roughly £7K..... original models are going for around £12-15K......
Preordered mine 10/21 with delivery date 02/01 and to my surprise Thomann delivered it today sitting just left to my Behringer Odyssey. Sounds awesome. Lots of colorful lights now here. BTW the Keystep is a prefect match sizewise. I think, this is why Behringer will release the Swing. They asked us customers whether they should provide a keyboard for the B2600. Looking now for a good looking rack. THANKS BEHRINGER, GREAT JOB!
hey, I'm not into modulars/semi modulars, but this give really really really *good vibes* . Looks gorgeous and sounds amazing !!! Super well done @BEHRINGER !!!!! thumbs super up !!!!
Sounds amazing !! (But I'm running out of 'Uli' tokens now with all the gear you're releasing at the mo'...!!). Patrick - where can I get the wooden end cheeks of the RD-8, as you have on show there?? 😎🎹👍🏼🍻
i think it would be smarter to market this as something “inspired by” the 2600. although is sounds cool, it doesn’t sound like a 2600. It sounds like it’s own thing.
Reading the captions made my day. Saw is "sore", LFO is "elephant" once. If someone couldn't hear, they'd be really confused. If they were buying synths, they'd be my type of people
Woohoo, this sounds better than I thought it would. I am in the waiting queue for the Korg reissue, whenever that will be available again, but now I think I will go with the Behringer 2600 instead. I am actually tempted to sell off some of my vintage gear and go Behringer all-in and get everything from the Odyssey, MS-1, Pro-1, Wasp, Cat, RD-8, K-2, TD-3, Model-D and to the DeepMind-12: all of these would actually cost me less than a single Korg ARP 2600.
I read somewhere the Korg wich are anyway limited are salready sold out preordered... My store here near had to preorder it in the list.. the only one.. But since 2 weeks not more.. But never had in available ... So I dont know this selling practics.. Bit shit.. So I will also go on the Behringer.. Have already Deep Mind 12.. Pro one.. Neutron.. and Model D.. More is up to come.. hehe
Payt Laros oh, i did not know that this whole time. Crazy. Well then the digital reverb is prolly a bit of a let down then. I had no clue the original had reverb, makes so much sense tho looking back....
@@djJustJay Well the digital reverb seeks to replicate the characteristics of the original spring reverb. From what I can tell, it does a pretty good job. The advantage is that they can always change it in firmware updates. The disadvantage is that they'll probably never 100% replicate the real thing ;)
Payt Laros im buying one either way, but i def see some minor sonic differences. With that being said its damn damn close, kinda feel like im splitting hairs saying that. Either way very fine machine!
Some nice additions in there, the extra dedicated LFO is good, the added option of both the 4012 and 4072 filter is also nice to have. I would ditch the multi colored LEDs and just have red but thats just personal taste has no bearing on the sound of the unit. Did you external clock sync the signal switch? That was not on the original so would also be a good feature. Sounds like you got it pretty close too. Demo the ring mod next time, would like to hear it just to be a stickler. 😀
If the LEDS are the same as on the Odyssey, you can probably change 'em for the colour you want. They're easy to take off. In fact it'd be good if Behringer sold coloured LED kits for the synths.
I personally like the multicolor leds. Makes it easy to know which is which in the dark. And you know you WANT to be in the dark when you play with this. :D
@@InXLsisDeo Well, if it's as good as Behringer's version of the Odyssey, it'll be great. Being rackmount, suppose people will use it mostly at home (some of them in the dark)..... :)
I am betting that the LEDs are just like the Roland Boutique series. I found a set of replacement LEDs in blue for my Roland JU-06 - Roland put red LEDs and I quickly and easily switched them out for blue LEDs.
