Voice assign mode settings

The ARP 2600 M functions as a duophonic synthesizer (two sounds can be played at

the same time). There are two different methods (voice assign modes) of outputting

the pitch CV when two MIDI note on messages are received, and you can configure

this when starting up the unit.

Normal mode (default)

This is the factory-set mode. When two note-on messages are received, the lowest

note is output as KBD CV-1, and the highest note is output as KBD CV-2 (UPPER

VOICE).

Original mode

This mode reproduces the operation of the original ARP 3620 keyboard unit. This

is the same as normal mode in that the lowest note is output as KBD CV-1 and the

highest note is output as KBD CV-2 (UPPER VOICE), but differs in that the lowest

note and highest note continue being held until the gate signal turns on (the first

key is played).

Setting the mode

Turn on the power of the ARP 2600 M while holding

down the MANUAL START switch on the panel.

When the power lamp lights, release and press the

MANUAL START switch consecutively. Press the

switch three times for Normal mode, and four times

for Original mode.

The settings will be stored in memory (the power

lamp blinks), and the unit will start up normally.

After you change this setting, wait for several seconds (while the power lamp is

blinking) before turning off the power. Failure to do so might damage the data,

causing malfunctions.

Tip:

The voice assign mode function setting is remembered even after the power is

turned off.

Setting the trigger mode

Selects how the ADSR circuit starts operating (is triggered) when consecutive note-

on occurs.

Multiple trigger mode (default)

The ADSR circuit is triggered by each note-on.

Single trigger mode

This mode is used when playing legato, as a new note-on will not trigger the ADSR

circuit until the ADSR release time has ended.

Setting the trigger mode

Turn on the power of the ARP 2600 M while holding down the MANUAL

START switch on the panel.

When the power lamp lights, release and press the MANUAL START switch

consecutively. Press the switch five times for multiple trigger mode, and six

times for single trigger mode.

The settings will be stored in memory (the power lamp blinks), and the unit will

start up normally.

TRIGGER MODE does not apply to the AR circuit.
After you change this setting, wait for several seconds (while the power lamp

is blinking) before turning off the power. Failure to do so might damage the

data, causing malfunctions.

Tip:

The trigger mode settings will remain in memory even after the power is

turned off.
