So while it will allow you to create great basses, leads and percussion sounds, it is also an experimenter’s synth, where chance slider movements or random patching can deliver interesting results. In other words, it can do conventional, but also weird, nasty, complex and a whole host of other adjectives often more associated with modular synthesis. Where the 2600 really comes into its own is in the sheer range of its pre-configured or switchable modulation and control routings, all married to a host of patchpoints for overriding or adding to them. However, if all you want is a playable pre-configured synth then the ARP Odyssey could well be a better fit, and a very fine one at that – after all, they do share a number of the same sonic building-blocks. The Moog Matriarch expands its smaller semi-modular Mother synth with more oscillators, filter, envelopes and connectivity.īased on the TTSH DIY version of the 2600, this hand-built synth claims to be the next best thing to an original ’70s grey-face.Īrturia eschews patch cables for a visual modulation matrix and full patch recall – though you’ll still find plenty of sockets on its rear.ĭespite some of the hard-wired modulation options, one could argue that this is in some ways little more than a standard Minimoog-style monosynth, and also one that is somewhat deficient when it comes to the number of envelopes, LFO sources and filter shapes.
