Behringer 2600 BLUE MARVIN - Special Edition Semi-Modular Analogue Synthesizer with 3 VCOs, Multi-Mode VCF and Spring Reverb in 8U Rack Format The 1970s was a time when synthesizers were getting better as more and more musicians used the instrument and created music that no one had heard before . Early synthesizers were huge and complex devices costing thousands of dollars, but in 1971 the Alan R. Pearlman and Dennis Colin set out to create a more portable version of their massive ARP 2500 modular synthesizer that could be used in a concert setting and was affordable. From this concept came the semi-modular synthesizer ARP 2600, which became an instant hit and was very warmly received by many famous musicians, including Edgar Winter, Pete Townshend, Herbie Hancock and Jean-Michel Jarre. Extremely affordable and even more features featuring the Behringer 2600 is a tribute to this iconic synthesizer. Conjure almost any sound imaginable with incredible subtlety and ease.
