A must for your VST tool kit
If, like me, you like to program analog synth parts from scratch, it doesn't get any more straightforward than the ARP 2600. (It comes with a ton of presets, but I rarely look at them.) Designed originally as a teaching tool, the 'classroom'-like layout and pre-connections make creating easy. Anytime I need a droning pulse, a synth bass part, or a sound effect, the CA2600 is my first stop. I don't have a real '2600 here to compare, but the sounds come up exactly as I expect them to, with that nice ARP edginess. I like the addition of stereo panning and effects like distortion, delay, and reverb (the original '2600 had a spring reverb, but this effect goes way beyond that range) are nice bonuses, and having them integrated into the front panel is helpful. The Focus control is a nice way to get a good view of a work area without having to tie up the entire screen with the VST. And Cherry Audio's pricing makes it easy to add their synths to your collection!
