An iconic synth, revamped for the modern musician.

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.
