Limited-edition 2600 Blue Marvin with True Spring Reverb
Few synthesizers are as celebrated as the original 2600, and now Behringer has brought the venerable semi-modular workhorse to the masses in an affordable 8U rackmountable format. Based on an ultra-rare early 2600 with a bright blue fit, the Behringer 2600 Blue Marvin leans into its normalled signal path and patch-point architecture to provide intrepid synthesists with a powerful sound creation platform. Whether you’re chasing classic synth sounds or concocting future-facing musical manifestations, the Behringer 2600 Blue Marvin arms you with a wealth of audio design tools, including three beefy VCOs, a multimode VCF, mountains of modulation, and inexhaustible routing options. With 78 faders and switches, 93 patch points, and Eurorack compatibility, the Behringer 2600 Blue Marvin has challenged synthesists  to tap out its creative potential. So far, we can’t, but maybe you can! Totally authentic and absolutely absorbing, the Behringer 2600 Blue Marvin is a sonic wonderland for analog aficionados and modular marauders alike.
Authentic re-creation of a synth legend
Behringer dug in deep to meticulously replicate the original unit’s analog circuitry, and it shows. From its vintage-style voltage-controlled oscillators, filters, and amplifier to the modular patch-point architecture and normalled signal paths (which allow for incredible sound-design flexibility), the Behringer 2600 Marvin gives old-school-synth enthusiasts a truly authentic vintage semi-modular experience. Plus, it’s completely compatible with modern Eurorack setups, supplying an unreal launchpad for next-level sonic manipulation.
Patch-point architecture promotes sonic exploration
In the early days of modular synthesis, systems were massive, wall-filling monstrosities that were typically relegated for use in academic facilities or recording studios. When the 2600 hit the scene in 1971, it presented artists with a way to bring the awesome power of synths to the stage. Moreover, it served up a normalled signal path for players who wanted to access sounds quickly without having to physically patch together the modules using patch cables. With its semi-modular design, the Behringer 2600 Marvin sounds spectacular just using the hard-wired pathways. However, if you want to start getting experimental, just break out your trusty patch cables and see where serendipity takes you!
