Antonus has introduced the 3620, a full-size keyboard controller designed to replicate the form and control philosophy of the original ARP 3620 while delivering modern MIDI and CV capabilities. According to Synthtopia, the new instrument functions as a standalone controller for various synthesizers or integrates directly with other Antonus products, presenting new inventory options for music retailers specializing in vintage-style gear.
The manufacturer states the unit features a Fatar keybed with velocity and aftertouch, supporting simultaneous MIDI and CV operation. Synthtopia reports that CV modes include monophonic, duophonic, biphonic and bi-timbral settings, while MIDI capabilities cover full polyphony and bi-timbral splits. The control system omits displays and menus, relying instead on hardware controls for portamento, interval latching, LFO synchronization, random generators, arpeggiation and step sequencing.
Antonus offers the 3620 in four distinct configurations to address different market segments. Synthtopia lists the 37-key Tolex version at €1,450 and the 49-key Tolex model at €1,500. Metal chassis options are priced lower, with the 37-key version at €1,050 and the 49-key variant at €1,100. All listed prices exclude VAT, establishing a clear wholesale baseline for distributors and dealers calculating final retail costs in the professional controller market.
