"Waldorf show Future Music their new analogue filter the 2-Pole. Hear it affect drums synths and more in this exclusive demo at NAMM 2014"

New Waldorf 2-Pole Filter Module Details

"For some decades now, analog filters have had a deep impact on contemporary music. Since its very beginnings, Waldorf has been renowned for the quality of their excellent sounding analog filters.

Whether these were integrated in stand alone units, such as the 4-Pole, X-Pole or the AFB16, which enabled the world's first analog plug-Ins, or were found inside our synthesizers such as the Wave, the Q+ or the Pulse - Waldorf filters have influenced the world's sound for over two decades.

As a logical consequence, our exclusive analog filter technology is now available in this novel square box (unexpectedly matching the Rocket synthesizer). 2-Pole is giving the guitar player, the DJ, or the keyboard player access to the heart of the Waldorf sound - with an inspiring user interface with a one knob/one function philosophy. Spice up your live performances with dramatic filter sweeps that really cut through. Funk up your guitar licks by hooking a pedal controller to 2-Poles' cutoff CV In or using the integrated envelope follower. Animate your pad sounds using 2-Pole's LFO. But beware - no matter what you do with this tiny black box, make sure you set the levels to your amplifiers and speakers correctly, as 2-Pole is yet another beast from Waldorf - with love!

Quick Note on NAMM Posts

For those of you that have checked in today you might have noticed that new NAMM posts are going up with the content in the post vs. directing you to the original announcement post for the particular bit of gear. This is deliberate. I thought I'd give you some background on how I like to cover NAMM and a couple of tips on how to find what you are interested in on the site.

As you know we typically get product teasers and leaks the week or so leading up to NAMM. I like to capture the experience from discovery to NAMM floor demo in an individual post. This will give us a historical sense of how new gear came to us. By the second day of NAMM, the single posts get to be a bit long and the gist of that experience has been captured. From that point it's just new demos. As for new demos, I like to capture them even if they seem to be repetitive because they sometimes give you a different angle depending on the presenter, and you get a sense of how the show and presentations evolve.

As for finding what you want, use the top left Blogger search box and sort by date. Use terms that are unique if available. For example search for Rytm for the new Elektron Analog Rytm. You can also filter posts by channels at the bottom of posts when one comes up. You'll get other random stuff, but you'll likely find what you are looking for.
