    This is for the nerds ... an uncut Live session while i am just testing and playing the synth. Sound is mono to avoid reverb phase cancellation. Raw sound without any post processing.
    The Antonus 2600 FS is a faithful recreation of a 70s ARP 2600, made in the same size as the original. It benefits from a built in midi interface with an additional LFO and CV/Gate outputs (not shown in this video).

      Does this have the reverb cancellation phase issue as with some of the Korg FS?

      @@nikarga Yes. Tho I wouldn’t call it an issue as this is the intended behavior. That’s by the original 70s ARP design. The reverb tank itself is mono. It is connected to the left and right outputs with one side being phase reversed to create a spatial image.

      @@tomnoise23 i see - thank you v much for this. Interesting that Korg opted to “fix” this issue to have stereo outputs… wondering why not do the same. It looks amazing - I am on the fence between this and a vintage mk3

      @@nikarga What do you mean by "fix the issue"? As far as i know, they all are similar in this regard. Never heard of any differences in the reverb circuit design.

    sounds SO good - I'd go the smaller size one personally just for space reasons, but I bet it nails the sound too. FS really looks impressive!

    16:40 Wow! 🥰 Tone on this one sounds just great! Sounds most like what i remember ARP 2600 to sound like in person. I have the Behringer which sounds lovely too, but it’s more precise-sounding to my ears and not as ‘big’. Of course the reverb on the Behringer isn’t really so useful. Have been using a Light Pedal which sounds beautiful.

    • @tomnoise23
      @tomnoise23  Рік тому +1

      Agreed. The Antonus just feels and sounds like a vintage ARP from the factory. I used to have 2 different ARP 2600 back in the day. Both where not exactly same sounding, but they shared a certain character which the Antonus has too. With all the flaws of the original too of course. I couldn't be more satisfied.

      If only i had the ca$h! It’s freakin’ HEAVY! In a way the Beh just can’t touch, because they use miniaturized circuit boards rather than the crazy hand-built old school thing. There’s just more electrons flowing through the Antonus, it’s not surprising the sound has more heaviness to it.

    Sounds closer to the original than the B2600’s. I really like the idea of the larger size, larger range for the sliders - makes it easier to tune and tweak, IMO. Thanks for posting!

    Thanks a lot for posting this video. This thing sounds amazing. Would you happen to know what the difference is between the original size and the other smaller version? Are they pretty much the same thing and only differ in size? Or does the larger version have more options?

    • @tomnoise23
      @tomnoise23  Рік тому

      Technically they should be similar. The smaller version might has a different spring tank, but that's just a guess.

      Did you ever touch the faders on an original 2600? :)
      As for the Antonus, these are LED faders and don't feel differently to a Behringer 2600. No issues with them.

    someone needs to make a 2600 clone available that has CV for each parameter similar to what Blue Lantern Modules did with the 7200..

    what do you think comparing to the Korg 2600M?

    • @tomnoise23
      @tomnoise23  Рік тому +1

      In short, the Korg sounds awesome too, maybe a bit brighter with more bite and it has shorter attack and longer decay times on the ADSR.
      Personally I like the Antonus better, but mainly because of it's size and build quality (of course, time will tell), which seems way ahead over the other ones and it's much easier to maintain/service, whenever it will be needed.
