Classic 2600: 2600P and 3604P |
| Description |
This is a weird one. It may be a classic synth but when it arrived here it just looked and felt a bit tired and old. The cases look their age (with a couple of replacement catches and the tolex far from immaculate). Inside, the main panel is actually lovely, and in excellent condition, and the keyboard too is very nice. But a few of the sliders were a bit slow to become un-noisy (eg left speaker fader and VCF to VCA slider) and the keyboard is a little clacky. Some sliders, too, are more resistant to movement than others (eg the fune tune sliders.) Plus it had a collection of a few patchleads which honestly look like they are older than the machine itself. But then ..... as I started playing it, it became more and more desirable. You buy an old machine like this (40 years!!) for its character not its modern attributes ... and suddenly the sounds that started coming out of it hooked me.
Through the internal speakers, and through external amplification, it sounds wonderful.
Everything works properly (given some time for the oscillators to stabilise and a bit of wiggling of any noisy slider) and honestly it sounds so much better than any modern thing.
Give it a collection of decent patch leads and it will give you a lot of pleasure back for years to come.
