The CA2600 is Cherry Audio's software recreation of the ARP 2600 semi-modular analog synthesizer, sold as a perpetual VST3 and AAX plugin for 64-bit Windows and macOS hosts. It keeps the original's three oscillators, four-pole ladder filter, envelope, ring modulator and sample-and-hold, and adds MIDI, patch saving and effects the hardware never had. It suits producers and sound designers who want modular-style routing without a hardware rig, and it is far cheaper than vintage hardware or Arturia's emulations while being less faithful than a true circuit-level clone. Reviewers generally rate its sound and value highly, with occasional complaints about CPU load and the dense interface.

Reviewers and owners praise the CA2600 for capturing the ARP 2600 character at a fraction of hardware cost, and for the extras like MIDI and patch saving. Complaints focus on the crowded interface and CPU use on busy patches.
