Christmas 1976 my parents gave me an Arp Axxe, which was a simpler, less-expensive version of the much more famous Odyssey [1]. It was great for a kid to learn about electronic music because the controls were laid out to where you could visualize the signal flow. It also came with a great textbook. I learned a lot about sound and analog signal processing as well as had a lot of fun. May Mr. Pearlman rest in peace. 1:…
Huge synth head here. He will be missed. The Korg remakes of the Odyssey are great machines for those not wanting (or having the money) to dive into vintage madness. Now Korg should reissue the 2600 in his memory. For under $1500..
Former 2600 owner, and aspiring current owner (although Arturia is keeping the itch scratched for now), I think this would be viable for Korg. TTSH kits were around for a while. You could get one built for 3500, 1000 for parts. Korg purchasing could probably do way better.
Behringer, on the other hand, is likely on the case.

The MS-20m kit's sales were slow enough that they had a blowout at the end of production - not an encouraging sign for Korg, in terms of making a relatively inexpensive 2600 reissue. Behringer, on the other hand, is likely on the case.
Really??? God how could I miss that :(

Sad day. Time to start working on restoring my 2600, which I've owned aincw 1979. Many shorted tantalum caps. I miss it!
Éliane Radigue has used the ARP 2500 for decades and has only recently started composing for acoustic musicians playing traditional instruments. Just one small byway this technology enabled...
