Way Out Ware TimewARP 2600

Way Out Ware TimewARP 2600 Description

The TimewARP 2600 from Way Out Ware is a perfect emulation of the classic ARP 2600 analog synthesizer—and the only one endorsed by the original instrument’s creator, Alan R. Perlman. In addition to faithful replication of every original feature, the TimewARP 2600 features up to 8-voice polyphony and extremely sophisticated velocity and aftertouch control. Mapping of MIDI controller parameters to sliders, knobs and switches is virtually unlimited, putting an unprecedented amount of control at your fingertips. And even though you can create incredibly complex sounds with the TimewARP 2600, the unit’s comprehensive preset manager ships with hundreds of patches to get you started. Standalone or RTAS, VST, and AU host operation on Mac and Windows makes this gem the ideal addition to your sound—whether as a synthesizer or a unique signal processor.
