Behringer 2600 Analog Semi-modular Synthesizer User Manual

1. Sarrera

The Behringer 2600 is a semi-modular analog synthesizer designed to provide a comprehensive sound creation platform. This instrument features a normalled signal path and extensive patch-point architecture, allowing for both classic and experimental sound design. It is presented in an 8U rackmountable format, making it suitable for various studio setups.

Key features include three Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs), a multimode Voltage Controlled Filter (VCF), multiple modulation sources, and numerous routing options. With 78 faders and switches, and 93 patch points, the 2600 offers deep control over its sonic capabilities.

2. Konfigurazioa

2.1 Desontziratzea eta ikuskatzea

• Carefully remove the Behringer 2600 from its packaging.
• Inspect the unit for any signs of physical damage that may have occurred during transit.
• Verify that all included accessories, such as the power supply and patch cables, are present.

2.2 Energia-konexioa

1. Ensure the power switch on the 2600 is in the OFF posizioa.
2. Connect the provided power adapter to the DC input jack on the rear panel of the synthesizer.

2.3 Audio-konexioak

The 2600 features standard 3.5mm TS jack connectors for audio input and output.

• Konektatu L IRTEERA eta R IRTEERA jacks to your mixer, audio interface, or amplifier using 3.5mm TS cables.
• For external audio processing, connect external audio sources to the EZKERREKO SARRERA eta SARRERA ESKUBINA kakak.
• Headphones can be connected to the TELEFONOAK jack for monitoring.

2.4 Rack muntatzea (aukerakoa)

The Behringer 2600 is designed for 8U rack mounting. Use appropriate rack screws and ensure secure installation in a standard 19-inch equipment rack.

This image displays the entire control surface, including the three Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs), Voltage Controlled Filter (VCF), Envelope Generators, Voltage Kontrolatua Amplifier (VCA), Mixer, Reverb, Ring Modulator, Noise Generator, Voltage Processor, and Sample & Hold sections, along with all faders, switches, and patch points.

3.1 liburukiatage Kontrolatutako osziladoreak (VCO)

The 2600 features three independent VCOs, each capable of generating various waveforms.

• INITIAL OSCILLATOR FREQUENCY: Adjusts the base pitch of the oscillator.
• FINE TUNE: Provides precise pitch adjustment.
• PULTSAREN ZABALERA: Controls the pulse width of the square wave output.
• SYNC ON/OFF: Synchronizes the oscillator to the previous one.
• WAVEFORM SELECTORS: Choose between Sawtooth, Triangle, Sine, and Pulse waveforms depending on the VCO.
• AUDIO/KYBD ON/OFF/LF: Determines if the oscillator tracks keyboard input, is always on, or operates at low frequency (LFO).
• FM CONTROL: Modulates the oscillator frequency.
• PWM: Pulse Width Modulation input.

3.2 liburukiatage Kontrolatutako Iragazkia (VCF)

The VCF shapes the timbre of the sound by filtering out frequencies.

• INITIAL FILTER FREQUENCY: Sets the cutoff frequency.
• FINE TUNE: Fine-tunes the cutoff frequency.
• ERRESONAntzia: Boosts frequencies around the cutoff point.
• VCF MODE (4012/4072): Selects between two distinct filter characteristics.

3.3 Inguratzaile-sorgailuak

The 2600 includes an ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release) Envelope Generator and an AR (Attack, Release) Envelope Generator.

• ERASO ORDUA: Soinuak bere maila gorenera iristeko behar duen denbora kontrolatzen du.
• DECAY TIME: Controls the time it takes for the sound to fall from the peak to the sustain level.
• SUSTAIN LEVEL: The level at which the sound is held as long as a key is pressed.
• ASKAERA ORDUA: Tekla askatu ondoren soinua desagertzeko behar den denbora kontrolatzen du.
• SARTU ATEA: Triggers the envelope.

3.4 liburukiatage Kontrolatua AmpLider (VCA)

The VCA controls the overall amplitude of the sound, often modulated by an envelope generator.

• INITIAL GAIN: Sets the base output level.
• VCA INPUTS: Audio and control voltage sarrerak.

3.5 Mixer and Reverb

• NAHAstagailua: Combines audio signals from various sources.
• Erreberbazioa: Adds spatial depth to the sound with a digital spring reverb emulation.

3.6 Other Modules

• RING MOD: Creates complex, metallic timbres by multiplying two input signals.
• NOISE GENERATOR: Produces white and pink noise for percussive sounds or effects.
• SAMPLE & EUTSI: Samples an input voltage at a specific rate and holds it until the next sample.
• VOLTAGE PROCESSOR: Provides utilities for inverting, scaling, and offsetting control voltages.
• PORTAMENTO: Controls the glide time between notes.

4. Mantentzea

4.1 Garbiketa

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your Behringer 2600:

• Erabili zapi leun eta lehor bat kanpoko gainazalak garbitzeko.
• Zikinkeria egoskorrerako, apur bat lehortuampGarbitu zapi urarekin. Saihestu produktu kimiko gogorrak, disolbatzaileak edo garbitzaile urratzaileak erabiltzea.
• Keep dust out of fader and switch mechanisms. Compressed air can be used carefully.

4.2 Biltegiratzea

When not in use, store the synthesizer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. If rack-mounted, ensure proper ventilation.
