An iconic synth, revamped for the modern musician, plus a trusted MIDI controller.
This special bundle includes the ARP Synthesizers 2600 M Synthesizer with a KORG microKEY2 37-Key MIDI keyboard controller for two great ways to make wonderful music. Take advantage of this pairing today.
ARP 2600 M Synthesizer
The ARP 2600 M synthesizer delivers the sound of one of the most iconic and recognizable synthesizers of all time, in a more compact and portable format. It includes a slew of added features that make it the ideal incarnation of this historic synth.
A Legend, Reborn
The ARP 2600 M is around 60% the original size, making it lighter, more portable and easier to place and use in a studio. It integrates the same analog circuitry and components as the ARP 2600 FS, thus faithfully reproducing the characteristic ARP sound.
Proudly Designed and Made in Japan
The ARP 2600 M is built in Japan with the same care and extraordinary quality standard as the ARP 2600 FS, and uses the same analog components to accurately reproduce the sound and feel of the original. The spring reverb has been re-engineered and adapted to the new size body with the same lush effect. With the intense focus on quality, the largely hand-assembled ARP 2600 M is not a typical mass-produced instrument. Due to this boutique nature, manufacturing quantities each month will be in line with their commitment of delivering a truly prized investment.
The ARP 2600 M comes with a dedicated carry case, a set of exclusive ARP stickers, as well as a KORG microKEY2 37-key controller, so you can start playing right away. Its dedicated case not only protects your instrument, but also makes it easier to transport, thanks to its custom casters with special anti-shock damping technology. There is also enough space to carry other gear together, like your favourite volca, SQ-64 or MIDI controller.
A Must-Have in the Studio
It is not by chance that the ARP 2600 has been so extremely popular to this day. More than a synthesizer, the ARP 2600 M is a complete sound design studio. Even today, the ARP 2600 stands as a bridge between the individual elements of modular synthesis and the immediacy of a production/performance instrument.
Included are an ample supply of oscillators, envelopes, a filter and amplifier—all of the building blocks of analog synthesis. The ARP 2600 M goes even further, with a spring reverb tank and a pair of built-in monitor speakers. Also present is much of the versatility of a vintage modular system, including ring modulation, lag and voltage processors, an envelope follower, audio preamp, clockable switch, noise source, sample-and-hold module, signal inverters, auxiliary mixer and even a set of parallel-wired/multi jacks.
Free Bundle of Music Software
The ARP 2600 M comes with a diverse variety of music software from iZotope including Ozone Elements, which lets you not only create songs, but also master them using AI; Skoove, which helps you improve your keyboard playing skills; Reason Lite DAW software, as well as software synths from KORG and other brands.
In other words, the moment you get your hands on this synthesizer, you'll have a variety of tools to help you take your music to the next level.
KORG MicroKey2 37-Key Compact MIDI Keyboard Controller
With all of the endless options, configurations and choices that modern technology offers musicians today, in the end, the simplest solution is often the best solution. An uncomplicated, straightforward design, compact size and easy connectivity made the first-generation microKEY series a best-seller. Now, KORG's microKEY2 37-key compact MIDI keyboard retains those attributes and adds iPad and iPhone support (with Lightning to USB camera adaptor, sold separately), plus a damper pedal jack for improved playability.
In all, the microKEY series has evolved to become even more convenient and versatile, making it an ideal choice for first-time and more established players alike. Whether you’re producing in the studio, or creating on the go, the microKEY2 will give you exactly what you need—and nothing you don't.
Compact and playable Natural Touch mini keyboard
KORG’s Natural Touch mini keyboard has been carefully designed to assure playability while staying compact, and makes it easy to play chords or rapid phrases. Connect with a single USB cable*; supports Mac, Win, iPad and iPhone.
Since the microKEY2 is USB bus-powered, you only need a single USB cable to connect it to Mac or Windows. There's no need to install a driver; just connect it to your computer and start playing. This second-generation model supports connection to iPad and iPhone. Add an Apple Lightning - USB camera adaptor and one USB cable and your setup is complete, allowing you to access apps such as KORG Gadget, KORG Module and GarageBand.
*For connection to the iPad/iPhone, use the Apple Lightning - USB camera adapter.
Connect a pedal, and enjoy full control functionality
This 37-key models provide an assignable switch jack for connecting a damper pedal. You can also use the octave buttons in conjunction with the key transpose function to play MIDI's entire range of notes. It also comes with pitch bend and modulation wheels.
Powerful music software bundled free of charge
The microKEY2 comes with a serious collection of powerful music software titles, including popular special editions of KORG Gadget and KORG Module, plus the KORG Legacy Collection, which offers five classic KORG instruments as plug-ins. With microKEY Air you won’t have to purchase additional software; you can start creating music right away.
