Waldorf Edition 2 - Sound-Demo

video upload by WaldorfMusicChannel

"New Version 2.3.3 available in your 'myWaldorf' account. Attack now native on macOS https://waldorfmusic.com/waldorf-edit...

PPG Wave 2.2V is a virtual reincarnation of its namesake cult classic, coming to prominence with the trailblazing PPG Wave series starting back in 1982.

First resurrected in 1989 with the Waldorf Microwave, today it enjoys a new lease of life in virtual studios on Mac and PC computers. Classic wavetable synthesis is known for conjuring up the feisty analogue and digital hybrid sounds that have graced so many hit records over so many decades.

Attack is a percussion synthesizer powered by an almighty analogue synth sound generator. It transports the trademark sounds of classic Eighties analogue drum machines and the progressive electronic club beats of the Nineties onwards and upwards into truly 21st Century production environments.

As Attack computes all sounds in realtime, users can change any parameter directly.

D-Pole completes the Waldorf Edition 2 lineup as a very versatile filter plug-in with five filter types (lowpass, bandpass, high pass, notch, and resonator), SAMPLE RATE reduction, RING MOD, OVERDRIVE (ranging up to +52 dB), and stereo delay — all in wondrous Waldorf quality!"

Waldorf Quantum • Microwave XTk • Micro Q // Recording Session

video upload by Genshi Media Group

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES AND STEREO EFFECTS, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

This is a quick, rough, work-in-progress composition for my electro-industrial project "cell:burn" using my ‪@WaldorfMusicChannel‬ Quantum, Microwave XTk, and Micro Q synths. I thought I'd shoot some video of the session. No external effects were used, only the built-in synth effects. I need to redo the drums/percussion as it loses timing around three-quarters of the way through, and then a proper mix of everything.

To hear my previous cell:burn works, go to the Bandcamp page at - https://cellburn.bandcamp.com

... also available on all other digital streaming/download platforms (Apple Music/iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, etc.)."
