You got a great first name. At time mark 2:34, that takes me way back to the 1980s... That is a great sound right there. I hope you have a great upcoming holiday season.. All the best.
Hello. Excellent sounds.Thank you. I have a question though : Is there a way to shift the SQ1 sequence on the Keyboard ? Or is it a limitation on the Behringer 2600 that the sequence remains on C sharp base ? I personally couldn't find a way to shift my SQ1 sequences via my keyboard. I found an approximate solution when patching SQ1 CV output to ADSR (Voice) but it is not 100% accurate in terms of tuning.
It's not a limitation of the 2600 but rather of the SQ1. As far as i know, the SQ1 Sequences can't be controlled by a cv input. You can do it with an adder module by summing the SQ1 and the Keyboard CV outputs, though. On the 2600 itself that would be for instance: SQ1 CV Out to the Voltage Processor Input 1, Keyboard CV to Voltage Processor Input 3 and then invert the output of this with VP Input 5 and send this output to an oscillator. Will be a bit shaky regarding setting the correct tuning, but in general it should work. Keep in mind that the Keyboard CV will be added to the sequence voltage.
Excellent patches , particularly the one with the sq1 , how did you connect the sq to the 2600? Thanks a lot for the patch sheet from 2600 , I’ve discovered your site ... nice job 👍, you definitely knows your gear and how it’s works
Thank you! The SQ1 CV Out A is connected to VCO3 KYBD CV on the 2600 and the SQ1 Gate Out A goes to the ADSR Envelope. SQ1 CV Out B is later modulating the Filter of the 2600 (the green wire).
@@tomnoise23 I did not expect an answer and so fast and you did it !!!! You are fantastic. Thank you so much I will try this set up when I will get my 2600 grey ... Cheers
Thank you Tom For this opportunity to build patches myself according to your sketches, I didn't even know anything about this site. How did you make those sheets for 2600?
Hey Tom, Really cool stuff. Thanks. Can you elaborate a little on the Duophonic pad? I see you have another patch cable coming from the AR ENV that isn't listed in the patch. Also puzzled by the S/H Clock switch position. How are you getting the filter open on the downbeat like that? I'm getting a very low freq click from OSC3 with your patch config.
Hi Dallas, thanks! The patch cable isn't listed because it is a redundant leftover from experimenting. It is connected to a modulation input of VCO2, but the fader is down. The filter is opened by the ADRS env on each new trigger. As long as you hold down the lower note, there won't be a new trigger. BUT the positions of the S/H Clock Switch, Trig Mode and also the Kybd CV switch of VCO3 are noted WRONG - good catch. Seems i made a few errors there. Thanks for the heads up and sorry for the confusion. Here`s a fixed pdf: www.presetpatch.com/f/Behringer-2600/B2600_-_Sounds_(Tom_Noise_Pt5_Patches)_rev2_pdf
Hi Tom. Have you settled on the the Grey completely now? Is there a very noticeable difference to the black and orange now your ears are tuned to them both? Thanks.
Hello! It’s not a big difference and most of the time i wouldn’t even notice it. To my ears the gray sounds a bit smoother or more controlled, so to speak. The resonance is a bit sharper and kicks in earlier on my black one. The biggest difference is the spring vs digital reverb and the design of course. I like both and use both in my setup.
Hi, as I'm new to the 2600 your video's are a saviour. So, I've downloaded your patch sheets and am trying to replicate your '2 Voice Sequence'. I have a keystep Midi'd to Osc 1 & 2 of the 2600 and a separate sequencer to Osc 3 via CV/Gate. In order for Oscs 1&2 to play the switch above S/H Clock has to be Up but for the sequencer connected by CV/Gate the switch has to be Down to receive the Gate signal. If I use the Mixer VCF or Init Gain sliders then Osc 3 sounds but continues after the sequence is stopped because there's no Gate signal to turn it off. I notice on your video that your patching the 2600's Multi but these aren't shown on the patch sheet so I'm wondering whether there's a fundamental part that I'm missing? Thanks
Hi and thank you. First: The mult connection was a redundant one and a leftover from another patch, so i corrected it in the Patch sheet. It just doubled on an internal connection. In this patch, the keystep was playing the pitch of OSC1/2 via midi in and OSC3 gets his pitch from the SQ1 CV out. The triggering of the patch comes from the SQ1 as well, not by midi in. That`s why the SH Clock switch is down. In the video, only OSC3 is up first in the mixer and then i am fading in OSC1 and 2. So this patch is not really suited to be played by hand completely and you need to involve the Mixer Faders in the VCF section. Hope this helps.
@@tomnoise23 Many thanks for your quick response. I don't want to play anything by hand only my sequencers that's why I've got Osc 1+2 coming via Midi from my Keystep and Osc 3 receiving CV and Gate from my second sequencer. The problem I'm having is that to get Osc 3 to play via CV/Gate then the SH Clock switch has to be down but when I do that Oscs 1+2 don't sound but they do when the switch is Up which then cuts off the CV/Gate to Osc 3. It seems like I can't get both Midi and CV/Gate triggering at the same time. Just can't work out where I'm going wrong.
@@lyntonfairbourne7408 as soon as you start the sequencer which sends cv and gate, the sounds of all oscillators should be audible. Midi is only for the pitch of osc 1/2 , not for the gate. With this patch it is not supposed to be triggered by hand. It’s all going through the same vca.
Wondering if anyone else is seeing this with their 2600 ua-cam.com/video/lU2-cTO95hU/v-deo.html basically whether I am MIDI or CV it hangs up when I play fast and I need to power cycle. This doesn't seem normal operation to me - but wanted to know if others see this? Thanks
This issue was fixed with firmware upgrade released may 28th 2021. " Now on 1.0.1. Also my filter is no longer self resonating at just above 10HZ. Release notes say it all : "Hanging notes - Optimize MIDI port data reception." However it must have fixed an issue with my filter because it no long self-resonates at very low frequencies (unless i make Q very high and raise VCF on Audio section - i.e. normal).
No offense to your playing, but this synth really doesn't have anything that special about the sound IMO. Plenty of other synths in the price range which sound considerably better with a way better UI
We are talking less than 600 € here. Name a considerably better sounding synth with a way better UI in that price range. Korg Minilogue/Minilogue XD and Behringer DM6 are cheaper and come with polyphony, presets, MIDI, built-in FX and larger knobs for tweaking ... but they cannot touch the sounds I hear in the Behringer 2600 demos. Vermona PerFOURmer which may sound better and does have larger knobs, too, costs about twice as much. Dreadbox synths: Maybe sounding just as good, lower price, larger, but less knobs, definitely way less sonic flexibility. IK UNO synth pro? May be able to touch sound quality and flexibility of the 2600 (though of course not sounding the same), but worse UI.
Fantastic Pad sound - very reminiscent of the CS-80!!
I thought the very same.
Yeah absolutely gorgeous pad. And the melody is great too.
Super Patches! Danke für die Bereitstellung der sheets!!
Excellent work Tom. You inspire me every time to get more from this amazing synth!
Excellent video.
I use Raum reverb as a go-to. Can't believe I got it free.
I wasnt alone, that thing is crazy
pad sound is killer !!
Great examples. I’ve just been impressed by the sound of my 2600 thus far, but you’re really stretching it. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love your 2600 vids Tom. Keep em coming.
Love these 2600 videos!
I NEED ONE SO BAD!
I'm worried they will discontinue the synth! I Especially want the Grey Meanie!
I could listen to this video on loop all day
Thanks a lot!
Wow, finally some interesting sounds from the 2600. Great work!
Thank you!
Fantastic demo & machine
great stuff as always Tom :-)

Sorry i didn't see, thanks for sharing knowledge
Great patches. Thanks!
Prächtig wie immer, danke!
I think this preset(s) are one of the best your exp.
Oo, can’t wait to get stuck into these. Cheers
Superb sounds
Thanks a lot!
Awesome sounds Tom. You get the sound I want from that synth.
Wonderful!
best arp video yet
fantastic job !
Very nice work. 👍🏻

Sounds amazing. Don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't get my Blue Marvin to sound anywhere close to that duophonic pad.
Thanks! A lot of the impression comes from the Reverb, in this case NI Raum.

Thanks! Did you notice the link in the description?Feel free to download the patch sheets.
Tom, did you preorder on Thomann awhile back... thinking of trying to get a grey one?
Yes, i had preordered very early.
Thank you Tom For this opportunity to build patches myself according to your sketches, I didn't even know anything about this site.
How did you make those sheets for 2600?
Thanks, you're welcome! I made these sheets with the help of a software named "Sketch".

Interested to know why you're using it in mono?
Because the 2600 has a mono signal path. I only use stereo if I want to use panning tricks or the artificial space effects of the reverb
