3.2 The 3 sections of the ARP2600 V
The ARP 2600V offers three main sections separated into flight cases:
From top to bottom:
The synthesizer, the sequencer / LFO / general settings, and keyboard
To access the different parts of the ARP2600 V there are two simple methods:
Click on a part of the synthesizer that des not have any controllers (potentiometers, switches..)
or jacks, then slide the mouse towards the top or the bottom without releasing.
Slide the mouse towards the top or bottom
Click on one of the three shortcuts , and situated on the toolbar to quickly
move from one section to another:
•
The (SYNTHESIZER) section brings you to the synthesizer.
•
The (SEQUENCER and KEYBOARD) section brings you to the sequencer.
•
The (“ALL”) section brings you all the interface of the ARP2600 V
3.3 Overview of the Synthesizer
The “SYNTH” section contains 73 synthesis parameters as well as jack inputs and outputs that you
can connect to one another with virtual cables. The potentiometers or switches associated to these
parameters will help you to create an infinite variety of sounds.
These parameters are made up of:
•
Three oscillators (VCO) which release the audio signal through wave forms (triangle,
sinusoid, saw-tooth, square and rectangle) and which manage the pitch (frequency)
of the sound.
•
A noise module.
•
A ring modulator
•
A sample / hold module.
•
A mixer acting on the signals coming from the oscillators, noise module and ring
modulator.
•
A low-pass resonant 24 dB filter and multimode 12 dB (LP, HP, BP and notch)
•
An amplifier (VCA) allowing the amplification of the signal coming from the filter
and its direction towards the stereo output.
•
Two envelopes (ADSR and AR) modulating the low–pass filters and amplifier.
If you are in the “All” section, you can resize the window by clicking on the 2 arrows situated on the
right of the 3 sections shortcuts.
