The Behringer 2600 uses different oscillator cores and a digital reverb, setting it apart from the TTSH in terms of authenticity to the original ARP 2600.

0 0

The TTSH maintains the original ARP 2600's "crappiness" by using LM301 thru-hole op amps, which require additional caps to stabilize, unlike the Korg remake's SMD components.

Despite using obsolete components like the noise transistor, the TTSH closely matches the original ARP 2600's PCB traces and parts list, making it a faithful reproduction.

I have two Buchlas—and those are tricky to use, but they are very special. I also used Polymath from Analog Solutions, the Arp 2600, the Moog, and the Boomstar from Studio Electronics.”

“It might sound like it is, but the kit list for this album was fairly limited in terms of synths - just a MacBeth M5N, a really nice, old semimodular machine; one of the new Prophets by Dave Smith; an Oberheim 2 Voice Pro; and a TTSH, which is a copy of the ARP 2600. There’s a guy in Sweden who makes them as a DIY kit, but you need to find a tech who can put it all together. It’s roadworthy, it’s got MIDI and it sounds fantastic.

“What else? A x0xb0x 303 emulator; the new M4000 Mellotron; an EMS Synthi AKS; and the Oberheim OB-Mx, the rack-mounted polysynth.”
