WALDORF QUANTUM // 7 More Custom Presets

Published on Dec 21, 2018 Genshi Media Group

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

I thought I'd share seven more custom presets I've been working on that hopefully show an interesting variety of possibilities that can be achieved with the Waldorf Quantum Hybrid Synthesizer. Every preset I created here started with a blank "Init" program. Names of the patches and Oscillator assignment are as follows:

My Super Synth - 0:19
Osc 1 = Waveform Oscillator with 2 Kernels of Saw Wave
Osc 2 = Waveform Oscillator with 2 Kernels of Saw Wave
Osc 3 = Wavetable Generator with True PWM Wavetable

My Wide Wavetable - 1:55
Osc 1 = Wavetable Generator with my own Custom Wavetable
Osc 2 = Wavetable Generator with my own Custom Wavetable
Osc 3 = Off

My Batcave - 3:17
Osc 1 = Particle Generator with my own Custom Sample
Osc 2 = Waveform Oscillator with Warped Triangle Wave
Osc 3 = Resonator

My Carillion Resonator - 5:05
Osc 1 = Resonator
Osc 2 = Resonator
Osc 3 = Resonator

My Sci Fi Soundscape - 5:51
Osc 1 = Particle Generator with my own Custom Sample
Osc 2 = Particle Generator with my own Custom Sample
Osc 3 = Particle Generator with my own Custom Sample

Dirty Robot Love - 8:40
Osc 1 = Wavetable Generator with Talk Tool
Osc 2 = Waveform Oscillator with Saw Wave
Osc 3 = Off

My Meditation - 10:05
Osc 1 = Particle Generator with my own Custom Sample
Osc 2 = Particle Generator with my own Custom Sample
Osc 3 = Resonator"

NAMM Leaks: New KORG Volca Modular & Volca Drum

And the first NAMM 2019 rumor is in. A new KORG Volca Modular "Micro Modular Synthesizer" & Volca Drum "Digital Percussion Synthesizer". Click the pics to explore. Note the mini patch points (ala Tinysizer) on the Volca Modular, and the display on the Volca Drum.

The Volca Modular appears to be a "West Coast" approach with a Woggle modulation source and 2 LPGs or Lowpass Gates.  An LPG is essentially the Buchla version of a Lowpass Filter.  There also appears to be some oscillator wave folding on the left.  Man, this is going to sell like hotcakes.  I want one now.   Digital drums on the Volca Drum with modulation does look interesting as well.

Wavefolder plus 3 sines plus 2 VCAs

Published on Dec 20, 2018 Randy Piscione

"Experimenting with different ways of generating timbres for a custom Eurorack panel I'm working on with PM Foundations. I took a sine into a mixer, and two more sines into two VCAs, and then those two also went to the mixer. The output of the mixer went to an nlc Timbre. I also ran an LFO into each of the VCAs.

The Timbre is the first version, so I turned the Fold pot all the way up, and used the mixer and the VCAs/LFOs to control the actual folding of the 3 sines in various combinations."

"Serial number is #53. Look around online if you are curious about what this bad boy can do. Owned for about 2 years, had a lot of fun and made plenty of music with it. Lived in my studio the whole time except for one live set. Time to let someone else live the tiny dream.

There is one issue with this one that I never got around to fixing. The potentiometer for “Audio In 1” on the VCF has gone bad. Still receives input and gives output signal, but doesn’t attenuate it - just does on or off for the input. Should be an easy fix for a technician or experienced electronics enthusiast. Never got in the way of me using it though."
