3. Seti

The Behringer 2600 is a semi-modular synthesizer, meaning it has pre-wired connections but also allows for extensive patching to create unique sound routings. This section guides you through the initial setup.

3.1 Ta'ese'ese ma Tu'u

1. Carefully remove the synthesizer from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for future transport or storage.
2. Place the unit on a stable, flat surface with adequate ventilation.
3. Ensure all faders and switches are in their neutral or off positions before connecting power.

3.2 So'oga Malosi

• Connect the provided power adapter to the DC input jack on the rear panel of the 2600.
• Fa'afeso'ota'i le fa'aoga eletise i se so'o eletise talafeagai.
• Turn on the unit using the power switch. The indicator lights should illuminate.

3.3 So'oga Fa'alogo

• Connect the main audio output (1/4" mono jack) of the 2600 to your mixer, audio interface, or amplifier using a high-quality audio cable.
• Adjust the master volume on your mixer/interface and the 2600 to a low level before playing.

3.4 Modular Integration (Optional)

The 2600 features 93 patch points, allowing integration with other modular synthesis systems (e.g., Eurorack). Use 3.5mm patch cables to connect various modules and expand your sound design possibilities.

4. Fa'atonuga o Galuega

The Behringer 2600 offers a hands-on approach to sound synthesis. This section provides an overview of its main components and how to interact with them.

4.1 Oscillators (VCOs)

The 2600 features three Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) that generate the primary sound waves. Each VCO has controls for frequency, waveform (e.g., sine, triangle, saw, square, pulse), and modulation inputs. Experiment with different waveforms and frequencies to create varied tonal foundations.

4.2 Vaaleletage Pulea Filifiliga (VCF)

The VCF shapes the timbre of the sound by cutting off frequencies. Adjust the TIPI ESE ma RESONANCE controls to achieve different filter effects, from subtle warmth to aggressive sweeps.

4.3 Envelope Generators (EGs)

The two Envelope Generators control the amplitude and filter cutoff over time. Adjust ATAUA, pala, FAAPITOA, ma FA'ASA'oloto (ADSR) parameters to shape the sound's dynamics, from sharp percussive hits to long, evolving pads.

4.4 Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs)

LFOs generate sub-audio frequencies used for modulation effects like vibrato, tremolo, or filter sweeps. Adjust the LFO TULAFONO ma GALU to add movement and texture to your sounds.

4.5 Patch Points

The 93 patch points allow you to override the internal signal routing and create custom connections. This is where the semi-modular nature truly shines, enabling complex sound design and experimental patching.

4.6 Mechanical Spring Reverb

The built-in Mechanical Spring Reverb adds a classic, organic reverberation effect to your sounds. Adjust the reverb level to control the amount of spatial depth.

5. Tausiga

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Behringer 2600.

• Fa'amamaina: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the exterior of the synthesizer. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Puipuiga pefu: When not in use, cover the synthesizer with a dust cover to prevent dust accumulation, especially on faders and switches.
• Teuina: Teu le iunite i se nofoaga malulu, matutu mamao ese mai le susulu o le la ma le vevela tele.
• Faders ma Knobs: Operate faders and knobs gently. Avoid excessive force, which can cause damage.
