"This is the instrumental version of the song 'Fibrillomicina.'

I love both vintage and modern electronic instruments. In this song, I used modern synthesizers.

--The instruments I used are:
--GRP-A4 synthesizer for the automatic bass
--GRP synthesizer vocoder V22 for robotic voice part
--Moog VoyagerXL for solist part
--Oberheim OBX-8 for solist and pad parts
--Waldorf Quantum for solist part
--Nord Grand for piano part
--Solina String Machine for pad
--Erica Synths Perkons HD-01 for hypnotic percussions
--ANTELOPE Orion 32+ Gen 3 as audio interface
--SOLID STATE LOGIC Sigma Delta for summing all analog audio traces
--Steinberg Cubase 15 as DAW and Wave lab 13 for final mastering

Enjoy the song!
This is a pre-release. The official release is on the 26 of June on the main web platforms of music distribution. The release page will be: https://music.imusician.pro/a/1cGcLeZq"

"I was asked how Iridium compares to Hydrasynth. Here are some pros and cons:

Hydrasynth pros:
Less expensive
Velocity and pressure sensitive pads (desktop) poly aftertouch and ribbon (keyboard version)
More filter and reverb models
Different wave mutators vs digiformer
Macro mode for the knobs
More flexible arpeggiator
Desktop version is smaller and lighter, and comes with rack ears

Hydrasynth cons:
Monotimbral, 8 voices vs Bi-timbral and 16 voices on Iridium
No resonator engine
No custom wavetables
Shorter wavetables (8 vs 128 waveforms in a table)
No sampler/granular playback engine
No engine like the kernel engines
Mono filters as opposed to stereo filters in Iridium
No proper sequencer vs two sequencers on Iridium"

Waldorf Iridium MK2 Wavetable Synthesizer - Advanced Tutorial with Douglas Moore


video upload by Kraft Music and DSoundman

"Great bundle deals on Waldorf Iridium MK2:
https://kraftmusic.com/collections/wa...

Kraft Music welcomes Douglas Moore from DSoundman to walk us through the enhancements and improvements on the Iridium MK2 by Waldorf.

Waldorf Iridium MK2 is based on the multi-engine design of the original Quantum and Iridium synthesizers, with a fresh design and an improved CPU board allowing for more sample storage and opening a wider world of synthesis capabilities. Increased memory allows for the creation of rich, complex sonic landscapes, while per-note parameter locks (the result of a collaboration with Aphex Twin) provide each of 128 notes up to 16 individual parameter variations. Extra RAM also enables a sixth synthesis method per oscillator using sub-oscillators called "Seeds". Iridium MK2's "Flavour" knob, introduced with Waldorf Protein, adds sonic liveliness via micro-variations in timing, timbre, pitch, and other parameters.

Get more for your money with an exclusive Waldorf Iridium MK2 digital polyphonic synthesizer bundle from Kraft Music. These package deals include the accessories you'll need to get the most out of your new polyphonic synth, all for one low price. If you have any questions, please contact us. Our knowledgeable sales advisors will be happy to assist in choosing the bundle that's right for you!"

You Only Think Vintage Synths Sound Better


video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie

"So I was playing my Waldorfs, just making some music and looking for inspiration, and a thought came to me... Am I only using my Waldorf XT because I 'like it' not because it's actually better in anyway? While there are so many videos comparing synths online, I keep wondering....WHY? Like, what's the actual goal with this. I personally wonder if there's psychology behind why some can't just move forward and make sound instead of thinking 'I wonder if X makes sounds like Y' when the shortest answer would easily be 'why not just get the X?'. When I think about music I'm often confused by the idea of all this... so maybe ask yourself this.... 'What's your goal'. When you see life as only one constant stream, you cannot go back, only forward, I think so many of the choices I make to create come from that. Rather than compare, rather than spend my time purchasing, why not be content, why not just create....? A question for you today."

One Synth, One Track - Waldorf Protein


video upload by GEOSynths

"As there are quite a lot of Reviews for the Waldorf Protein out there, I decided to make a complete Track, only using the Protein. I'd made a few Patches when I first got it and while it is very well thought out, I decided to make an Editor using Google Gemini to help with my workflow. It doesn't cover all Parameters, as it uses CC's which are limited to 128, some of which are reserved.

First thing I did was to make the Drum Sounds and then Sample them into Native Instruments Maschine and made a Kit (Which will be available on my Patreon for download) and then I put them through Logic Pro, I use Maschine as a Sound Module in Logic, so I can still change MIDI notes and route each sound to a dedicated fader.

Next, I tracked each Sound, all of which are Custom made and use the internal FX of the Protein. In the mix I added a touch of Room Reverb for the Drums and the Lead has some extra Delay, everything else is from the Protein."

Bad Gear - The 2000s are BACK!!!


video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. After years of turning nostalgia into profit by bringing half-baked reissues to the market there is still one era mostly untouched by the profit maximization of music tech executives.

Today we are going to talk about Waldorf microQ. This virtual analog synth was spawned into existence during the dawn of the DAW revolution of the early 2000s, it was - in a way - itself a half-baked reissue, dated on release and yet there’s no one to take the disposable income of both, sentimental Gen-x ravers and trance revival-obsessed zoomers."
