Behringer 2600 Analog Semi-modular Synthesizer User Manual

1. Introduktion

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. Opsætning

2.1 Udpakning og inspektion

• 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 Strømtilslutning

1. Ensure the power switch on the 2600 is in the SLUKKET position.
2. Connect the provided power adapter to the DC input jack on the rear panel of the synthesizer.
3. Sæt strømadapteren i en passende stikkontakt.

2.3 Lydforbindelser

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

• Tilslut L OUTPUT og R UDGANG jacks to your mixer, audio interface, or amplifier using 3.5mm TS cables.
• For external audio processing, connect external audio sources to the VENSTRE INDGANG og HØJRE INDGANG stik.
• Headphones can be connected to the TELEFON jack for monitoring.

2.4 Rackmontering (valgfrit)

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

3. Betjeningsvejledning

Dette afsnit giver en overview of the main functional blocks and controls of the Behringer 2600.

Figure 3.1: Front Panel Layout of the Behringer 2600. This image displays the entire control surface, including the three Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs), Voltage Controlled Filter (VCF), Envelope Generators, Voltage Kontrolleret Amplifier (VCA), Mixer, Reverb, Ring Modulator, Noise Generator, Voltage Processor, and Sample & Hold sections, along with all faders, switches, and patch points.

3.1 bindtage kontrollerede oscillatorer (VCO'er)

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.
• PULSBREDDE: 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 bindtage kontrolleret filter (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.
• RESONANS: Forstærker frekvenserne omkring afskæringspunktet.
• VCF MODE (4012/4072): Selects between two distinct filter characteristics.

3.3 Konvolutgeneratorer

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

• ANgrebstid: Styrer den tid det tager for lyden at nå sit højeste niveau.
• DECAY TIME: Styrer den tid det tager for lyden at falde fra peak- til sustain-niveauet.
• SUSTAIN LEVEL: The level at which the sound is held as long as a key is pressed.
• UDGIVELSESTID: Styrer den tid det tager for lyden at forsvinde, efter at tangenten er sluppet.
• PORT IND: Triggers the envelope.

3.4 bindtage Kontrolleret Amplifier (VCA)

VCA styrer det samlede amplitude of the sound, often modulated by an envelope generator.

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

3.5 Mixer and Reverb

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

3.6 Andre moduler

• RING MOD: Skaber komplekse, metalliske klange ved at multiplicere to indgangssignaler.
• NOISE GENERATOR: Produces white and pink noise for percussive sounds or effects.
• SAMPLE & HOLD: Samples an input voltage at a specific rate and holds it until the next sample.
• BINDTAGE PROCESSOR: Provides utilities for inverting, scaling, and offsetting control voltages.
• PORTAMENTO: Styrer glidetiden mellem noder.

4. Vedligeholdelse

4.1 Rengøring

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your Behringer 2600:

• Brug en blød, tør klud til at tørre de udvendige overflader af.
• Til genstridigt snavs, let dampRengør kluden med vand. Undgå at bruge skrappe kemikalier, opløsningsmidler eller slibende rengøringsmidler.
• Keep dust out of fader and switch mechanisms. Compressed air can be used carefully.

4.2 Opbevaring

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.
