SOFTWARE
“The behavior of the TimewARP 2600 software—both
module by module and integrated into patches—is
effectively indistinguishable from that of the analog
hardware that it emulates.” —Jim Michmerhuizen (director/
founder, Boston School of Electronic Music; author, ARP 2600
and TimewARP 2600 owners manuals)
“The instrument is remarkably authentic and delivers a
broad palette of unique and evocative sounds that just
plain feel different than most virtual synths out there
today… It’s a spot-on emulation of an extraordinarily deep
and complex instrument that puts all of the charm and
character of the classic at your fi ngertips.” —Future Music
“This is one great application. It takes the sound of the ARP
2600 and makes it available to musicians for about a tenth
of what the 2600 cost new… This is the most impressive
synthesizer emulation I have heard to date.” —Recording
“The TimewARP 2600 has all the charm, the complexity
and magic of the original but with none of the drawbacks.”
—MacDirectory

and extremely sophisticated velocity and aftertouch control. Mapping of MIDI

—Mark Mothersbaugh (musician/composer; Devo)
