Perfect Pads - Soundset for Waldorf Protein

video upload by WaldorfMusicChannel

"https://waldorfmusic.com/produkt/soun...

This inaugural Protein soundset brings the acclaimed Perfect Pads series – previously available for the Waldorf Iridium and Quantum – to Waldorf’s newest synthesizer Protein.

Featuring 32 meticulously crafted pad presets designed to showcase the full depth and character of the Protein sound engine. Drawing on the powerful synthesis architecture of the Protein and rich wavetable palette, this collection delivers some of the widest, warmest, and most expressive pads available on the Waldorf Protein. Each patch is immediately playable and musically inspiring, making the pack ideal for a wide range of genres – from ambient and cinematic to electronic and experimental – while also providing an excellent starting point for further tweaking and sound design.

Harry van Mierloo is an emerging international sound designer and creative design professional from the Netherlands. He blends the sound of classic analog synthesizers with the power of modern machines – perfect for artists seeking highly usable patches or fresh inspiration as a starting point for everyday day studio work. For many years, Harry has been fascinated by the wonderfully rich and emotional touch that pad sounds can add to music. He has now crafted and released his second official soundset called ‘Perfect Pads 2’ for the Iridium & Quantum."

RetroSound Studio Tour: Vintage Digital Synthesizers

video upload by RetroSound

"RetroSound Studio Tour:
Legendary Vintage Digital & Hybrid Synthesizers of the 80s and early 90s

In this episode of RetroSound Studio, I explore classic digital synthesizers that revolutionized electronic music production during the 80s and early 90s. From FM synthesis and wavetable synthesis to vector synthesis, PD synthesis, vitual analog and Roland’s LA synthesis, these instruments introduced a new generation of sound design and defined the sonic identity of an era.

The Yamaha DX7 became one of the best-selling synthesizers of all time, defining FM electric pianos and metallic digital textures. The PPG Wave pioneered wavetable synthesis, laying the foundation for modern digital sound engines. The Sequential Prophet VS introduced vector synthesis, allowing dynamic blending between digital waveforms. The Roland D-50 shaped late-80s pop and film scoring with its LA synthesis architecture, while the Roland JD-800 brought hands-on control back to digital synthesis in the 1990s.

These digital synthesizers shaped genres such as synth-pop, new wave, ambient, house, techno, trance, and film music. Today, they remain highly sought after by producers, collectors, and sound designers researching vintage digital synthesizers, 80s keyboard sounds, virtual analog, classic FM synthesis, and wavetable history."

Waldorf Protein in the hands of a beginner makes "Bang!"

video upload by Nicolai

"I just bought the Waldorf Protein. They said it is their entry level, so I unboxed it, did a test drive, created some own patches and guess what: "Bang!" a tight techno track was born.

🎧 Original "Bang!" track (the one born from frustration): [below]


It is a lovely wavetable synth: portable (fits my setup perfectly), flexible and most importantly: accessible! Sure, there are menus and a shift button for deeper tweaks, but most of the time you just coast on the sound, dialing it in directly with the tons of hands-on knobs. How cool is that?

Watch the full video: unboxing, preset demos and evolution, honest critique, Nicolai patch building which lead to the 'Bang!' track."

Waldorf Quantum 30th Anniversary Shadow Edition - SN 30 of 30

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this eBay listing

"Extremely rare. Only 30 were ever produced and this one is serial number 30, the final unit produced.

These cost over $8000 brand new at the time. Unfortunately, this particular unit was sold as a B-Stock unit because it was slightly damaged in shipping.

It has a broken Filter 1 Decay encoder shaft. I bought it with the intention of having it repaired but never did. It's a standard Quantum Mk1 inside, so parts should be readily available, or a reputable shop can repair it. The pitch wheel also has two very small scratches on the finger notch.

Despite that, however, the rest of the unit is in fantastic shape and is fully functional, works perfectly, and sounds amazing. The filter decay can also be controlled from the value knob, so you're not losing that function.

Latest OS installed."

Waldorf Iridium / Quantum - "Around the World" (50 Presets)

video upload by LFOstore

"Drawing from the vibrant musical traditions of distant cultures, "Around the World" is a captivating collection of 50 exclusive presets that infuse the mighty Waldorf’s synthesizer with rich ethnic flavors, exotic presets, and world-inspired atmospheres. In our fast-paced Western world — polished, precise, and often predictable — life can sometimes feel like a dish without enough seasoning. We crave something deeper, more soulful, more alive: the exotic spices of the East to awaken the senses, stir the spirit, and add layers of flavor that make every moment richer and more meaningful.

In this soundset, each preset is carefully crafted to ensure complete playability and expressiveness. You'll find here deeply evolving pads layered with field recordings, tasty ethnic instruments with a high degree of sensitivity to key pressure and modulation, mystical flutes and frozen strings, soft and warm organic pianos, rhythmic percussive sequences, vibrating bells, and hybrid soundscapes that blend ancient traditions with futuristic synthesis.

Most presets respond expressively to velocity, modulation wheel, aftertouch, and expression — turning your performance into a true global storytelling experience. Perfect for film scoring, world music production, downtempo, ambient, chillout, ethnic electronica, meditative soundscapes, and any genre that craves authentic cultural color and emotional depth. Created with passion for both heritage sounds and cutting-edge Waldorf technology, "Around the World" doesn't just sample the globe — it reimagines it through the prism of tomorrow's sound design!

Waldorf Attack 3: A Classic Reborn! (No Talking Demo)

video upload by Limbic Bits

"In this video, we’re diving into the Waldorf Attack 3 Plugin — Version 3 of that classic Drum Synthesizer PlugIn!"


Attack is back.
And it’s more powerful than ever.
We are proud to unveil Attack 3, the next evolution of one of Waldorf Music’s most iconic and longest-running instruments. A true classic reborn, Attack 3 redefines what a modern percussion synthesizer can be.

At its heart lies a mighty analogue-style synthesis engine, delivering 24 individual sounds per kit, with 12 sounds playable polyphonically as pitched instruments. From punchy kicks to melodic percussion, Attack 3 is built for rhythm that moves both bodies and speakers.

Attack 3 captures the unmistakable spirit of legendary 1980s analogue drum machines and the driving electronic club sound of the 1990s — and propels it boldly into today’s productions. It’s a future-ready instrument designed to shape the drum sounds of the next decade.

Every sound is alive
Every parameter can be tweaked in real time and fully automated in your DAW, inviting hands-on exploration and deep expression. While sampling capabilities have been expanded, Attack stays true to its philosophy: pure synthesis first, allowing you to create unique percussion sounds from scratch.

Redesigned for Faster Drum Creation
With a completely redesigned, scalable interface and a vastly expanded synthesis engine, Attack 3 proves that after more than 25 years, it remains the go-to tool for producers who want total control over their drums.

The new user interface adapts effortlessly to any screen size, while enhanced MIDI Learn lets you define minimum and maximum parameter ranges for expressive performance. Dedicated browsers for kits, sounds, samples, and MIDI mappings keep inspiration flowing without interruption.

Advanced Sample Playback
The oscillator section has been refined for absolute precision, featuring accurate phase control for synthetic waveformsand powerful sample playback options, including user samples, velocity mapping, round-robin playback, and flexible start positions. Whether you want surgical accuracy or organic variation, Attack 3 delivers.
