Another Waldorf Blofeld demo from Stefan Trippler. This one showcases the wavetables.

Note that with the Blofeld you can assign an independent wavetable to each oscillator while on the microwave/XT both oscillators share the same wavetable.

Waldorf Q

The title is a little bit of an inside joke - there's some discussion on the Waldorf list regarding wive/partners and synths. Apparently the Q is Derek's German blond whom he only gets to visit on weekends. :) I wonder how much action the red head gets. da-dum! Oh, man, did I just say that?...

Technomage LIFE 2

"L2 will be available in several formats. It will follow the concept of the first incarnation of LIFE in the form of a hand held device. There have been several requests for a rack mount version (to be compatible with the modular synthesiser systems available from other manufacturers). We hope to make this version available as well. Versions of L2 (as pictured on the left) have been undergoing field trials. Feedback has been very positive and comments received are being used to finalise the design. Further details of the control surface on L2 are listed below. Please note that the control knobs and surface finish of the production version of L2 will differ to those shown in this image.

Rotary Controls:
Clock Speed - LFO Speed - LFO (positive or negative) to VCO - VCO Manual Frequency - LFO (positive or negative) to VCF - VCF Manual - Frequency - VCF Resonance 'Q'- EG (positive or negative) to VCF - EG Decay - EG to VCA - Combined Drone and Power Switch.

Radio-Activity (German version: Radioaktivität)

Kraftwerk (pronounced [ˈkʁaftvɛɐk], German for "power plant") is a Grammy Award-nominated, German musical group from Düsseldorf.

The Kraftwerk sound combines a driving rhythm section with catchy, synthesized melodies and harmony; mainly following a classical style of arrangement accompanied by simple lyrics which are sometimes sung through a vocoder or generated by computer speech software. The Moog synthesizer is heavily present in the majority of the group's works, adding to their signature sound creations. In the mid to late 1970s and the early 1980s, the Kraftwerk sound was revolutionary for its time, and it has had a lasting impact across nearly all genres of modern popular music.
