Variants

The 1970s was a time when synthesizers were truly coming into their own as more and more musicians were adopting the instrument and making music that no one had ever heard before. Earlier synthesizers were massive and sophisticated devices that cost thousands of dollars, but in 1971, Alan R. Pearlman and Dennis Colin sought to create a more portable version of their huge ARP 2500 modular synth which they could market more towards musicians. Out of this concept came the ARP 2600 semi-modular synthesizer which became an instant hit and was quickly adopted by lots of renowned musicians including Edgar Winter, Pete Townshend, Herbie Hancock and Jean-Michel Jarre, to name a few. Soon after the first models were released, ARP made a bright blue version of Model 2600 called the “Blue Marvin”, named after ARP CFO Marvin Cohen. Now meet the Behringer 2600 BLUE MARVIN, a limited edition, ultra-affordable and even more feature-packed homage to the iconic ARP 2600 synthesizer. Compared to the original Behringer 2600, the BLUE MARVIN features a mechanical spring reverb, hand-picked components, uni-color LEDs on each fader plus a super slick paint job that’ll make your setup pop! Conjure up virtually any sound imaginable with incredible finesse and ease. The pure analog signal path is based on the authentic ARP 2600 circuitry from the 70s with matched transistors and JFETs. Owning a BLUE MARVIN is like having your piece of history enabling you to re-create timeless classics or forge your own musical path.

True to the Original

Great care has been taken in engineering the BLUE MARVIN’s true-to-the-original analog circuitry, semi-modular architecture and triple VCO design, all of which come together to recreate the classic tones evocative of classic electronic music. This highly-focused attention to detail gives the BLUE MARVIN its ultra-flexible sound-shaping capability, which then empowers you to recreate amazing tones – from super-fat bass and tasty leads, all the way to full-on dreamy ambience from the far reaches of your imagination.

Big, Fat Tones

The synthesizer tracks laid down in the 1970s and 80s in progressive rock, wave and synth-pop have become classics and have inspired many other artists. The BLUE MARVIN lets you recreate all that magic – or design some incredible and original sounds that will make you a legend in your own right!

Ready to Rock

Just like the original, the BLUE MARVIN is a semi-modular synthesizer that allows you to start making music without having to plug patch cables into different modules. But don’t let that stop you, the BLUE MARVIN also features 93 patchable ins and outs, so you can configure the synthesizer any way you want.

Make Waves

The BLUE MARVIN features 3 VCOs with FM inputs. You can even patch the VCOs’ default waveforms to square, triangle, saw, sine or pulse which allows for an awe-inspiring palette of tonal possibilities. Any of the VCOs can also be switched to operate as a low frequency oscillator while the multi-mode VCF acts as the VCO mixer of the BLUE MARVIN where VCO’s one, two and three can be blended. Combine that with its integrated resonance control, filter mode switch and the ability to output to other areas of the synth and the BLUE MARVIN becomes a fantastic and flexible tool for creating a diverse palette of tones that will truly blow away your audience.
