Korg ARP 2600 M For Sale (USA Only due to dealership agreement)
Korg USA Factory Authorized Korg Dealer, brand new item with full Korg warranty.
We only collect sales tax for items delivered within New York.
Free shipping within continental USA.
Note: This is a brand new approximation of a vintage instrument that was built using much more precise, modern components. Its feature set is nearly identical to the original ARP 2600 (with some nice additions), but it will not sound the same as a vintage instrument. It has a cleaner, more precise sound than the original and sounds different in other ways too - we've refurbished many vintage ARP 2600s over the last 3 decades and know them better than almost anyone, so please don't question this. It's a fact. If you want a real classic ARP 2600 with tons of vintage mojo that's been fully refurbished and future-proofed to be better than the rest, please contact us as we always have them in stock. If you prefer new synths or can't afford one of our meticulously-overhauled-over-35-hours-or-so ARPs, the Korg ARP 2600 should be a good fit. It's a good synth. Here's Korg's writeup about it...
The most iconic synth for the Modern musician
The genuine ARP 2600 in a more convenient size.
The ARP 2600 is arguably the most iconic and recognizable synthesizer of all time. Having been used in countless records, film scores, TV shows and game soundtracks since its appearance from the 70’s through to today, the ARP 2600’s sound remains an essential part of the music world.
The new ARP 2600 M delivers the sound admired around the world , in a more compact and portable format and including added features that make it the ideal incarnation of this historic synth.
A legend, reborn
When the ARP 2600 FS was announced in January 2020, it quickly became a phenomenal success with musicians all over the world recognizing the faithfulness to the original ARP 2600.
The ARP 2600 M is around 60% the original size, making it lighter, more portable and easier to place and use in a studio. It integrates the same analog circuitry and components as the ARP 2600 FS, thus faithfully reproducing the characteristic ARP sound.

David Mash
Recently retired from his position as Senior Vice President for Innovation, Strategy, and Technology at Berklee College of Music, where he served for 41 years, David is an internationally known expert in music technology, and synthesizers in particular. David was the founding chair of the Electronic Production and Design major at Berklee, and has consulted for many musical instrument manufacturers including Korg and was involved as an advisor on the re-release of the ARP2600 FS and the new ARP2600 M. David began his work with synthesizers on the ARP2500, and he purchased his first synthesizer, an ARP2600 and 1601 sequencer in 1977. He became friends with Alan R Pearlman and David Friend, and provided advice and feedback to ARP on instruments beginning in 1978. He is currently Board Chair for the Alan R. Pearlman Foundation.
Proudly Designed and Made in Japan
The ARP 2600 M is built in Japan with the same care and extraordinary quality standard as the ARP 2600 FS, and uses the same analog components to accurately reproduce the sound and feel of the original. The Spring Reverb has been re-engineered and adapted to the new size body with the same lush effect.
With the intense focus on quality and a large amount of hand assembly, the ARP 2600 M is not a typical mass-produced instrument. Due to this boutique nature, manufacturing quantities each month will be inline with our commitment of delivering a truly prized investment.
Its dedicated case not only protects your instrument, but also makes it easier to transport, thanks to its custom casters with special anti-shock damping technology. There is also enough space to carry other gear together, like your favourite volca, SQ-64 or MIDI controller!
A must-have in the studio
It is not by chance that the ARP 2600 has been so extremely popular to this day. More than a synthesizer, the ARP 2600 M is a complete sound design studio. Even today, the ARP 2600 stands as a bridge between the individual elements of modular synthesis and the immediacy of a production / performance instrument.
Included are an ample supply of oscillators, envelopes, a filter and amplifier – all of the building blocks of analog synthesis. But the ARP 2600 M goes even further, with a spring reverb tank and a pair of built-in monitor speakers. Also present is much of the versatility of a vintage modular system, including a ring modulation, lag and voltage processors, an envelope follower, audio preamp, a clock-able switch, noise source, a sample-and-hold module, signal inverters, an auxiliary mixer, and even a set of parallel-wired/multi jacks.
Added features and functionality
The new ARP 2600 M is not only faithful to the original, it also includes an array of added features that will make it even easier to use:
- Plug and play: Connect any class compliant MIDI controller such as a KORG microKeys, nanokeys or SQ-64 to one of the ARP 2600 M’s USB ports (USB-A and USB-B) and automatically get full control of your instrument!
- Resized: The new size makes it easier to visualize your patch and also allows you to use shorter patch cables
- Two types of filters from two versions of the original ARP 2600（4012 type, 4072 type DIN MIDI IN added
- Pitch-bend, Modulation and Portamento ON/OFF can be controlled through MIDI CC messages (USB/DIN MIDI)
- Normalized voltage: The threshold of the trigger signal required to activate the ADSR through the S/H GATE JACK has become 5V, making it much easier to use in combination with other gear such as volcas or Eurorack modules
- Improved Attack and Release time ratios
- L/R Stereo Output Jack (instead of XLR)
- Speakers turn automatically off when using headphones
- Improved, smoother sliders
