ARP 2600 FS

Let’s make some sounds
Basic settings
Set the ARP 2600 FS’s controls (sliders, switches, etc.) as shown in the illustration below.
When you play the keyboard with these settings, the sound of the VCO-1 square
wave is output by itself. To adjust the volume, use the MIXER section’s input level 2
slider (see
“MIXER” on page 13).
When you use a patch cable to connect the ARP 2600 FS unit with the ARP 3620
keyboard unit, the difference in GND level (the discrepancy in reference
voltage) might cause the pitch to drift by several cents.
Tuning
After you set this unit to the basic settings
described previously, adjust the FINE TUNE
slider of each VCO to the correct pitch using a
commercially available tuner (such as the Korg
CA-50).
