"Not the Colossus but also not for ants. This semi-modular analog Synth is patched with 6,3mm (1/4') cables like his Moog or 4U cousins. Unlike them it can also be played via MIDI. The Red Square can also process external signals with an input at the front as well as two inputs on the back, hence the 'patchable analogue effects processor' moniker."
"What a fitting combination of instruments! Love, love, love.
I would have liked to spend more time (and I will) crafting a more intricate performance, but the time of a lunch break clearly wasn't enough.
Still, I love what came out of this jam, and the great polyrhythms that naturally arose.
I hope you'll like it! 🧡"
"Discover the gritty soul of classic wavetable synthesis in this in-depth review and sound demo of the Waldorf Protein. Drawing direct lineage from the legendary PPG and *Waldorf Microwave*, the Protein combines authentic 8-bit, 128-sample wavetables with a modern, streamlined workflow — delivering that unmistakable lo-fi digital bite without the complexity of vintage machines.
In this video, I explore how the Protein’s 8-voice / 4-part multitimbral engine lets a single patch handle basslines, arpeggios, leads and textures simultaneously. You’ll hear how the stepped wavetable movement, classic aliasing artefacts and digital filters create tones that newer, smoother wavetable synths simply can’t replicate.
I also break down:
• How classic PPG-style wavetables actually work
• Why 8-bit waves sound so alive and musical
• Digital filters, drive modes & modulation
• Multitimbral layering for complete tracks
• Why this isn’t a Microwave clone — but something new
Whether you’re into *90s trance, industrial, ambient, IDM, synthwave, techno, or just love characterful digital hardware*, the Waldorf Protein offers a uniquely inspiring take on modern wavetable synthesis."

"Short version of a new track recorded on modular synthesizers and the Pocket Scion. The Pocket Scion's melody is routed through the Plinky (MIDI), while Marbles/Plaits/Clouds are routed through the Mojave to add the additional sounds."
