TTSH - DIY Arp 2600 Clone

By SimonInAustralia Mon Dec 02, 2013 8:01 pm

The Two Thousand Six Hundred, or TTSH for short, is a replica of an old classic semi-modular synthesizer. Available as a kit containing PCBs and front panel, nothing is pre-built and no components are included, for you to build yourself.

I saw this a few days ago and definitely want to build one eventually.

Looks like it costs about $2k for all the bits, and there may be a long wait on the sliders.

Yeah I've been following this. Not one for building that thing though. I have commitment issues with soldering and shit.

I almost fell off my chair when I saw this posted up on another forum.

once I calmed down a bit (and stopped thinking about what I could sell in my studio to fund it) I found the sound clips maybe didn't amaze me much, but its early days - this could still be a great project.

In a few months it'll be great to see more demos. I'd def consider flogging off most of my other mono's if this is 95% of the sound of a 2600.

I text him after posting here and he's dug it out and starting tinkering with it again. It sounds like he needs some studio setup help so I might see if I can pop round there and get some recordings.

It's weird though, when I was last at his house (many years ago) I hadn't even heard of the 2600 and came away thinking it was a pretty crappy synth. :oops:
