"The Microwave defined hybrid synthesis at its best with its unique interpretation of wavetable synthesis combined with analogue filters. Now Waldorf Music brings this magical instrument back into the hands of musicians with the release of the Microwave 1 app for iPads. It can be used as a standalone app as well as in the iPadOS AUv3 plug-in format."

Bad Gear - SERUM for OLD PEOPLE

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. In times like these when normal people try to steer clear of questionable spending habits, true synth nerds are still stockpiling esoteric Eurorack modules, vintage restoration projects and overpriced VST plugins in a box.

Speaking of which, today we are going to talk about the Waldorf Iridium range. While young producers with an actual history of releasing music are currently benchmarking a Serum 2 torrent, these futurist top shelf instruments based on German technology seem to be the last missing piece in every middle-aged synthesist collection before their careers are destined to take off.

The Master of Synthesizer Design : Axel Hartmann : From Inspiration to Iconic !

The Master of Synthesizer Design : Axel Hartmann : From Inspiration to Iconic !

Hosted by Vin Curigliano of AAVIM Technology, I am joined by guest co-host Pete Brown of Microsoft, and special guest Axel Hartmann who has been the go to designer for some of the most iconic synthesizers of the last 35 years, and continues to be one of the leading designers in the field. Chances are, you have seen or played one of his designs.

We discuss Axel's history in music and technology, what lead him to follow the path to Industrial Design, and what motivated and inspired him to focus his attention and creativity, primarily in the area of musical instruments.

Starting with his early career at Waldorf that was initially in graphic design but expanded into the area of industrial design and the eventual design and development of the iconic Waldorf Wave synthesizer, as well as many other well-known and much-loved synthesizer designs for numerous other manufacturers.

We then cover a large number of his better-known designs, and get first-hand insights and behind the scenes details of what is actually involved in bringing these instruments to market.

Throughout, we dive into Axel's design philosophy and how he works in collaboration with the clients to bring the designs to life and to market. We navigate the highs, lows, hits, and misses over his career, and much, much more, with some great stories and laughs along the way."

Only 400 to 500 Hartmann Neurons built.

Waldorf Iridium - Patch Discovery

video upload by Fractured Audio

"In this Video I step though some of my favourite sounds on the Iridium and delve into they are made, do some editing and on the way show you some of thew excellent features of this incredible synthesiser"

Desperate (Mechanical Mix)

video upload by Downpoly

"The TRS-80 and MIDI/80 meet the Blofeld! Last of these types of videos for while as I integrate all the changes into the writing workflow and bring the organ back into play. The game has changed, I can now create some complicated parts and not lean so hard on the DAW. This synth has far more capable sounds than the S2 McFish, although I am still very fond of its sounds too.

This is just 2 TRS-80s, as described in the Video, the Model III drives the Blofeld via MIDI/80 # 1 (White LEDs) and the Model 4 drives the TD-6 (TR-909) (Blue LEDs). The Model III is 'synced' via a cable connecting both machines printer ports."

Making New System Disks for Pete Townshend's Waldorf Wave

"I had to make some new system disks for the Waldorf Wave that belongs to Pete Townshend."

"Luckily I was able to do it with amodern USB to Floppy drive. I made one that was the same version of Pets disk but was also able to make a newer version as well!" https://www.uwl.ac.uk/study/study-fac...

New Synthesizers Coming from Waldorf M Developer Vladimir Salnikov

Aberfine Aeon dual VCF development video upload by Vladimir Salnikov

#aberfine
#aberfine-dev
#dev-diaries
#dualvcf

This one is in via an anonymous reader who had the following to say: "Vladimir Salnikov, the freelance developer behind Waldorf's M synthesizer, is starting his own synthesizer company with a kickstarter for a polyphonic analog synthesizer."

Some details from Vladimir Salnikov himself (Note a 1.09 update for the M is also coming):

"Hi guys. I have a good chance now to dive deep into my synth project, which I want to present soon on Kickstarter. However, I need to ask you, what do you, guys, want it to be?

I have for now actually 3 nice-sounding synths in different design phases. All these activities are for financing the 4th synth, which I see as a promising shiny new direction in the industry. But to develop this properly, I need to hire two extra developers - and I do not have money for this right now. So the idea is fairly straight - make a 'simple' synth, back its production by crowdfunding (developing costs are on my side), and reinvest the profit into the development of a fully new synth, based on some new technologies and concepts.

What is the development right now, all on the working prototype phase :

1. 4 voices 'classic' hybrid, based on Shruti / Ambika from Mutable Instruments and it's concept - intercheangable filter boards, simple control, rich sound. An engine has lot of additions and upgraded to the modern 32bit platform from original 8 bit. Target price is 459 Euro / 499 USD for the complete factory built synth (min 100 units should be backed). DIY TH kits may follow if needed (one is yet designed).

2. A Mono/Paraphonic hybrid, based on dual MI Braids as an oscillators section, and multimode VCF (triple core) of my own design. High quality digital FX (reverb, delay, flanger) are onboard (per synth). Flexible VCF 'cores' routing in analog domain. Sample-precise concept for CVs in analog domain. Target price is 399 Euro / 459 USD for the complete factory built synth (min 100 unit should be backed).

3. A 6/12 voices hybrid polysynth based on idea of OBX, but with digital oscillators. Dual VCF design (Polyvoks + CEM), base version is a 6 voices desktop module, expandable for 12 voices with voice card (USERS INSTALLATION IS WELCOME BY DESIGN). High quality onboard FX (per layer) - shimmer reverb, delay with looper, flanger, phaser, distortion etc. Dual Layer mode is possible with installed expansion. Target price is 969 Euro / 999 USD for a 6 voices desktop module, 399 Euro / 469 USD for the expansion (again, min 100 units should be backed to achieve target prices).

What will you prefer to launch first? The design readiness and software readiness are in the same order as variants, i.e. 'PolyShruti' is most ready, 'Dual Braids + flexiVCF' is on case design phase, 'PolyPolyvoks-OB6' is built on the board, working with modified M software.

Fist two synths will be equipped with an 2.23 inch OLED display (same as on Kyra) and mixed potentiometers / encoders / buttons / LEDs controls. For the last also keyboard version is desired but will be possible only in second / third batch (if any occured). Display for the last now is a question, but 4,5 inch hi-res IPS (no touch) is desired (waiting for sample delivery).

Perhaps it is a bit naive, but I am believe in the POWER of GS community, and, at least know some of you guys personally. I do love design synths, I do love how they sounds, and I would be happy to make something new in collaboration with you guys, as it was (partially) with the M. I was really happy to do this.

And again, this project is actually for financing real breakthrough. Can't manange to do this on my own, unfortunately.

So, all opinions are welcome! Thank you in advance, dear community.

Greetings from Remagen
your Vladi.

p.s. 1.09 for M is in development no abandonned abyss for the M.

p.p.s In Hybrids We Trust!"

Followed by:

"So I finally did the VCF prototyping - CEM + Polyvoks VCF dual with flexi routing (serial / parallel / serial + parallel). It's sound such an unique and reach. So, the variant 3 is finally chosen and development began on full gas."

Looks like it will be the Aberfine Aeon based on the video above?

"Here is the capable and cool Waldorf STVC keyboard. This was my first impression video of the board. I decided to show you guys just the factory bank A for this demonstration. The keyboard has an entire world of sonic possibilities (especially when using the vocoder). I hope you enjoy the soundscapes of the Waldorf. I certainly did."
