Behringer 2600 Gray Meanie Limited-Edition Analog Semi-modular Synthesizer

The Behringer 2600 Gray Meanie pays homage to the legendary ARP 2600 synthesizer that defined the sound of the 1970s. This limited-edition semi-modular analog synth authentically recreates the original's circuitry and triple VCO design. With the Gray Meanie's 78 intuitive faders and switches, you can conjure up virtually any sound imaginable from soaring leads to thunderous basses. Whether you're looking to recreate classic tracks or forge a new path, the 2600 Gray Meanie puts iconic analog synthesis within reach.

Pristine Analog Oscillators

At the heart of the 2600 Gray Meanie are three pure analog VCOs, giving you a world of harmonic possibilities. You can patch the default waveforms to square, triangle, sawtooth, sine or pulse. For even more versatility, switch any VCO to LFO mode. The multi-mode VCF mixes the three oscillators, while its resonance control adds bite. Route the VCF's output to other areas of the synth for advanced tone shaping. With this level of flexibility, the 2600 Gray Meanie empowers you to create amazingly diverse sounds from rich basses to searing leads.

Explore a Galaxy of Sound With Extensive Modulation

To expand the 2600 Gray Meanie's sonic universe even further, it provides an array of modulators and effects. The spring reverb adds space and dimension to your sound. Morph between textures with the lag processor and sample & hold. Add movement with two LFOs and complexity with the ring modulator. The envelope follower converts audio signals into control sources for synth parameters. Whether you're crafting subtle, evolving atmospheres or twisted, alien soundscapes, the 2600 Gray Meanie delivers endless inspiration.

Shape Expressive Notes With Hands-On Control

The 2600 Gray Meanie gives you extensive hands-on control to sculpt expressive note articulation. The ADSR envelope generator lets you tailor attack, decay, sustain and release. For more advanced envelope shaping, engage the Time Factor switch to compress or expand the envelope timing. The VCA section offers further tone manipulation alongside the VCF for crafting sounds with tremendous depth and nuance. With the 2600 Gray Meanie's envelopes and VCA, you have the tools to make your synth lines come alive.

Patch With Ease Thanks to Intuitive Design

With its logically laid-out panel and thoughtful color-coding, the 2600 Gray Meanie makes patching a breeze. The faders are uni-color LED-lit for easy identification even on dark stages. The normalized signal path lets you start playing instantly, while the 93 patchable ins and outs allow for deeper sound design experiments. Whether you're jamming out ideas or meticulously crafting patches, the 2600 Gray Meanie's intuitive workflow puts the joy back into music creation.
