2. Bezpečnostní informace

Please read and follow all safety instructions to prevent electric shock, fire, or damage to the unit. Keep this manual for future reference.

  • Napájení: Používejte pouze určený napájecí adaptér. Ujistěte se, že hlasitosttage odpovídá požadavkům vašeho regionu.
  • Voda a vlhkost: Do not expose the unit to rain, moisture, or operate it in wet conditions. Avoid placing objects filled with liquids on the unit.
  • Větrání: Zajistěte dostatečné větrání kolem jednotky. Neblokujte větrací otvory.
  • Teplo: Udržujte jednotku mimo dosah zdrojů tepla, jako jsou radiátory, topná tělesa, kamna nebo jiná zařízení produkující teplo.
  • Čištění: Čistěte pouze suchým hadříkem. Nepoužívejte tekuté čističe nebo aerosolové čističe.
  • Servis: Nepokoušejte se tento výrobek opravit sami. Veškerý servis svěřte kvalifikovanému servisnímu personálu.
  • Kabely: Chraňte napájecí kabely před šlapáním nebo skřípnutím, zejména u zástrček, zásuvek a v místě, kde vycházejí ze zařízení.

3. Nastavení

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 Vybalení a umístění

  1. Carefully remove the synthesizer from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for future transport or storage.
  2. Umístěte jednotku na stabilní, rovný povrch s dostatečným větráním.
  3. Ensure all faders and switches are in their neutral or off positions before connecting power.

3.2 Připojení napájení

  • Connect the provided power adapter to the DC input jack on the rear panel of the 2600.
  • Zapojte napájecí adaptér do vhodné elektrické zásuvky.
  • Turn on the unit using the power switch. The indicator lights should illuminate.

3.3 Audio připojení

  • 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.

Video: This video demonstrates the modular ecosystem concept, showing how different synthesizer components can be connected and integrated to expand sound capabilities. While featuring an Arturia product, the principles of modular patching are applicable to the Behringer 2600.

4. Návod k obsluze

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 svtage řízený filtr (VCF)

The VCF shapes the timbre of the sound by cutting off frequencies. Adjust the ODSTRANIT a REZONANCE 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 ÚTOK, ROZKLAD, UDRŽTEa UVOLNĚNÍ (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 HODNOTIT a VLNĚNÍ 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.

Video: This video showcases the hands-on operation and sound capabilities of a semi-modular analog synthesizer, including real-time sound manipulation and sequencing. While featuring an Arturia MiniBrute 2S, the operational principles are similar to the Behringer 2600.

5. Údržba

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

  • Čištění: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the exterior of the synthesizer. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Ochrana proti prachu: When not in use, cover the synthesizer with a dust cover to prevent dust accumulation, especially on faders and switches.
  • Skladování: Přístroj skladujte na chladném a suchém místě mimo dosah přímého slunečního záření a extrémních teplot.
  • Fadery a knoflíky: Operate faders and knobs gently. Avoid excessive force, which can cause damage.

6. Řešení problémů

If you encounter issues with your Behringer 2600, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

ProblémMožná příčinaŘešení
Žádný zvukový výstupIncorrect audio connections, low volume, power off.Check all audio cables, ensure master volume is up, verify power is on.
Zkreslený zvukInput/output levels too high, faulty cable.Reduce volume levels on the 2600 and receiving device. Try a different audio cable.
Ovládací prvky nereagujíUnit frozen, incorrect patching.Power cycle the unit. Review your patch cable connections to ensure they are correct.
Spring Reverb MalfunctionPhysical damage to springs, loose connections.Pozor: If you hear rattling, the spring unit might be dislodged. Refer to a qualified technician for inspection and repair.

If the problem persists, contact Behringer customer support or a qualified service technician.
