So having said all this what have we actually got compared to the original? I don't play keyboard but i love all sorts of genres from music concrete to Berlin school, from Éliane Radigue to Edgar Froese etc. This synth more than others rewards determination / experimentation and many an happy accident to fully impress. Perhaps there are others? The lack of multiples makes it hard to do some of the patches but at other times this isn't a big issue as many sockets allow multiple connections and the voltage processor can be used in a similar way. There are some questions and thoughts though about the differences and some have been mentioned before, like the behaviour of the electronic switch, the sound / behaviour of the ring modulator, the sample and hold seems to behave differently, to my ears anyway. Also what we find might better fit the sound of a primeval forest than others, for example, to our ear / imagination? I haven't given up yet as you learn so much along the way and is the real value of the patches anyway. I have been struggling to get the 2600V to sound like these examples the past few days. They provide great places to start from and learn more about our synth but they also allow us to create the patch and compare it with this video. This is were the arp2600 patch books come in handy, this is the best copy i have found yet. Also small changes in slider position have a huge effect on the sound. It can be very difficult to compare the two based on youtube videos as they are recorded differently played differently etc. Now this would seem an aside from the original question but it is still about how does the original compare to the clone. I would love one but i have to be realistic as my funds would be stretched too far. Ever since i heard of the Human Comparator TTSH Arp2600 clone i have wrestled with the prices and justifications for getting one / or attempting to get one as they go out of stock as soon as the are up for sale as a kit. This is an interesting and important discussion. If so then one can just create a new plug-in without trying to emulate a specific hardware synth. So no need to emulate synths if not trying to get the sound right. But that don't mean it's not possible to get a digital plug-in to sounds like a analog hardware synths, or very close, as that's after all is what a emulation try to do. Behaviors can be emulated, but that for example don't make a digital application analog, but only simulated analog as the closest. So a digital plug-in or synth can never be analog, and a analog synth can never be digital. Digital and analog is two different things. And also favotite sounds from softsynth.Īlso i will state that a analog emulation can never be true analog. I have favorite sounds from both digiital and analog hardware synths. To me analog in it self don't sound better than digital. I can tell that i don't care if a synth is analog or digital, if i like the sound. What in the handling is more realistic? I'm curious. What in the sound do you find more realistic? Why do you think Timewarp is more realistic than Arturias version? I don't understand your statement that Timewarp is more realistic if the Timewarp sound like in the video. Perhaps one need to tweak, use the possibilities and work on the sound. In general I love the sound from arturia synths, and I'm not only impressed by the design of the pluginsīased on the sounds of the original that i can come across, then i'd say Arturias ARP 2600 can come quite close in sound in many aspects. So if you're interested in 'realisticness' then you can try the timewarp but if its about the creativity then arturia is just fine. What is better with the arp2600 v3 is that there is a sequencer which gives you another million possibilities. It is closer to the original in sound and in handling. I bought also the timewarp 2600 and it is really different to the arp 2600v3. Some people write that the ARP 2600V3 is sounding nothing like the original (lol) but from what I hear in the videos it sounds really good. Yea sure, analog sounds grittier and rougher but you can get this with other plugins that emulate analog effects. I mean you could easily create almost exact the same sound with a plugin if you invest time in the patch. Well, after all I think this discussion about 'sound' and the comparison between the sound of plugins and analog is so overrated. Hey, also thanks for the vids I had to laugh hard at the frogs
