GovernorSilver Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 CMS is proud to unveil for the first time, our new synthesizer the CMS 2607. We took all the features of the original ARP 2600, combined them with our world famous upgrades, added more cool stuff and then squeezed it all into a 6 space rack mount heavy duty enclosure. This particular incarnation is the "2500 version" that features a beautiful heavy duty brushed aluminum front panel. We are also currently making standard versions using grey and blue paint similar to the original ARP 2600 factory color schemes. Initially, a very small quantity of special issue handmade 2607s will be made available to the general public until the factory produced models are available. These will be priced higher than the factory made mass produced units. Price for one of the hand-made limited edition $8699.00. (9,499.00 for units with early type VCOs) plus packing and shipping charges. Target price for the standard version 2607 will be 4999.00 USD . The standard version is not available at this time but we will soon be taking orders on the standard version. This price is subject to change. Check back with this page if you are interested in the standard version and can wait. http://www.discretesynthesizers.com/dsc/2607.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthoid Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 "Target price for the standard version 2607 will be 4999.00 USD" Yes, I saw that. Quite a tidy profit on the limited edition version. Eeesh. When an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Moray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a tidy profit on the limited edition version. Eeesh. I don't think it's profit as much as he doesn't want to do the extra work without extra incentive. It's building the product by hand instead of factory. The $5000-ish ones will be factory made. i'm surprised a small builder like him even has a factory.

Doerfler Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 i'm surprised a small builder like him even has a factory. Most likely he doesn't have his own factory but rents production in an existing one. I have no proof of this, however, just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovernorSilver Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Not a bad thought, brother Dave. BTW, the guy behind CMS - Phil Cirocco - has a Bethlehem PA address. Synthoid could probably pay him a visit. Over 20 years experience servicing ARP 2600s! I'm guessing he knew exactly what he was doing in designing the 2607 - not just some fly by night dabbler: http://www.arpodyssey.com/techs.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm, I have a friend in Bethlehem. Not exactly a "stones-throw" away though. When an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Moray.

Synthoid Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Yes, and I'll ask if I can borrow one of these for, say..... 3 years. When an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Moray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mate stubb Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Phil's modular stuff is to die for. I have never seen any in the flesh, but it is supremely elegant. http://www.discretesynthesizers.com/images/cms/hz54-1.jpg Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real MC Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 BTW, the guy behind CMS - Phil Cirocco - has a Bethlehem PA address. Phil hasn't lived in PA for years. He is now located in GA. Even a reverse lookup of the phone number on the website confirms this. Some reverse lookups report an old address and are a result of a marketing affiliation not the phone number database. I'm guessing he knew exactly what he was doing in designing the 2607 - not just some fly by night dabbler: http://www.arpodyssey.com/techs.html Phil Cirocco is one of the most qualified analog synth techs on the planet, specializing in ARPs and having been a well respected name on the Analogue Heaven discussion group since the 1990s. His modulars are derivatives of ARP designs. ARP founder Al Pearlman passed along many internal technical details and paperwork to Phil that are not available anywhere.

Soot 29 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Phil Cirocco is one of the most qualified analog synth techs on the planet, specializing in ARPs and having been a well respected name on the Analogue Heaven discussion group since the 1990s. His modulars are derivatives of ARP designs. ARP founder Al Pearlman passed along many internal technical details and paperwork to Phil that are not available anywhere. I can confirm what was said above. Two years ago he worked on and upgraded my 2600. The 2600 came back from Phil sounding exactly like it should but better, sharper and more powerful. It was like it was brand new. He loves ARPs and even worked on Alan Pearlman's 2600.
