Waldorf Edition Demo

Title link takes you to One more demo via Boele Gerkes of SCD.

"This demosong uses only the plugins from the Waldorf Edition, i.e. PPG 2.v. Attack and D-Pole Filter all programmed by Wolfram Franke plus reverb and delay from Logic. The first part of the song focusses a little bit more on the Attack, the second part more on the PPG 2.v. Although my heart still lays with hardware synths, I have to say these plugins are sounding bloody good!"

Previous post with Attack samples. BTW, I swapped images for this post.

Klaus Schulze - For Barry Graves (1977)

YouTube via marflothloloply. Sent my way via Ben.

Note I believe I posted this video previously but the link in that post was dead. I updated that post with this new upload of the video. The image was from the middle of this video, so I'm pretty sure it was the same.

Sequential Circuits Nameplates Via Synthwood

You might remember Synthwood from previous posts. They specialize in custom wood cases for the Pro One and wood panels for various synths. They take custom orders and they now make nameplates for the Sequential Circuits Pro One, Prophet 5, and Sequential Circuits line of analog synths. You can find more images of the nameplates here. Title link takes you to Synthwood.

"We used a satin brushed stainless plate that is just a bit thicker than the originals. The result is it won't curly up or crimp as easily. I found this out by plopping down one a PRO-ONE and noticing it was slightly crooked, I was able to pull it off and re-set it without the folding. One other thing that is really noticeable is that the original PRO-ONE/SEQUENTIAL circuits (at least the rev1) isn't brushed, but a plain bright aluminum. I find the satin brushed aluminum to be closer to what the Prophet-5 has and much better looking.

We've also made our own little badge which we are shipping with our Pro-One, Prophet 5 and Mini-Moog cases. We don't install the badge, but we do write the completed date and a 3 digit serial number (do you think we could break 999?). Oh! And we *ARE* shipping all our wood Pro-One and Prophet-5 cases with the new nameplates.

We're asking $18 shipped for each nameplate (Add $3 if you're outside of the USA). They're currently listed on ebay, but we actually have a revamp, customer gallery and shopping cart in testing for our website that should show up next month."

You can find Synthwood on Ebay.

Waldorf Attack Demos

Two demos via the Waldorf list: 1, 2. I've heard the Wave 2.V sounds closer to the real thing than other soft synths sound to their real thing. I have no idea why I've waited for so long, but the Waldorf is definitely next on my list. You can pick it up for $79 in the US at Nova Musik. You can find more info on the Waldorf Edition on the Waldorf Edition Product Page.
