Waldorf Rocket Review Part 1 - Features Rundown
Published on Mar 21, 2013 TheManWithTheSynth·1 video
Quick notes: Oscillator can be set to Saw or Pulse wave. There are two knobs for them. Wave on the left and Tune on the right. In Saw mode, when Wave is below the 12 o'clock position you can add additional oscillators one at a time by turning the Wave knob. You use the Tune knob to detune them. At the 12 o'clock position the oscillators go into musical intervals. For Saw you have unison with paraphonic polyphony mode when both Wave & Tune knobs are turned fully to the right. In Pulse mode the Wave knob adjusts the pulse width below 12 o'clock, after 12 applies LFO for pulse width modulation. The Tune knob in Pulse mode adds an extra oscillator and musical intervals after the 12 position. Analog Lowpass, Bandpass and Highpass filter modes with keyboard tracking and resonance. Boost circuit is raunchy. LFO goes into low audio range. The Arp has some interesting functionality, again above the 12 o'clock position of it's Depth/Range knob. Envelop is instant on so no slow attacks. Switch for quick attacks. Two envelopes but they share the same Decay. The Rocket also supports velocity and aftertouch. For full specs and clarifications download the full manual here.
"In the first part of my Waldorf Rocket review I am doing a quick rundown of the features of the synthesizer. Mind that I am not trying to create beautiful sounds and the audio setup is rather amateurish - this video is just features presentation for those of you who are too lazy to download and read the manual ;) I will do a proper sound demo in about two days. While I know quite a bit about synthesizers this is my first youtube video, so I apologize for any technical shortcomings."
Waldorf Rocket review part 2 - sound demo
Published on Mar 29, 2013 TheManWithTheSynth·2 videos
"Following the feature rundown I am now giving you a sound demo of the Waldorf Rocket with some commentary on how I produced the sounds. The signal path is synthesizer going directly into the audio interface with the exception of lead sounds where I use Boss Space Echo (the modern emulated version) for delay."
