It's been quite a while since I produced and uploaded my last live video. With this video, I want to make a fresh start and produce more videos from my studio in the future. Therefore, this improvisation is quite simple. The Prophet X plays two sequences of different lengths using a sound from my Prophet X Sample Library Volume 1, which is available on my website and will be presented in detail here on YouTube soon.
The Spectralis plays a deep bass note every two bars and runs unsynchronized at the same tempo as the Prophet X (119 BPM).
I play a few melodies on my Minimoog, which has faithfully accompanied me for almost thirty years. It's a kind of farewell to a beloved synthesizer that I unfortunately have to part with. You can find it on the German online classifieds site Kleinanzeigen.
The Minimoog is in very good condition. I've maintained it regularly over the years, and it underwent a complete overhaul last week. This Minimoog is equipped with a Lintronics MIDI converter, which includes an additional LFO and other modifications. Thanks to retrofitted precision trimmers, the oscillators are significantly easier to tune and more stable than the original.
The sound of a Minimoog is very organic and majestic. I emphasize the vintage character of this little instrument by using the Valhalla DSP Delay plugin. This plugin produces wonderfully glorious noise and distortion on demand, adding even more life to this session."
"🎉 NEW bento firmware 1.3 is finished and available now in the downloads area of our website. This gives bento users the power of the fireball #wavetablesynth engine, the ability to filter and preview sounds for our #granularsynth and #sampler instruments (and wavetable of course) PLUS the ability to mount bento as a USB storage device for easier backups and content exchange..

Overdubs. Two takes of a drum from the D-2000 through the R-51 VCA are overlaid, and they were processed by a small room reverb on the Alesis MIDIVERB II with the preamp overloaded. A four note sequence on the Ladik S-143 is driven by a sparse pattern on the Blue Lantern Gate Sequencer, and controls the pitch of the S-2000, which is delayed by the Peavey 1300 with a reversed reverb on the MIDIVERB II. The S-707 cowbell is delayed by the Peavey 1300, with reversed reverb. The 16th note hats are from the DSP 808 module, triggered by ALM Pamela’s New Workout. The other percussion is from the S-LD."
The second edition of the Perfect Pads collection, this time with 34 brand new meticulously crafted pad patches for the wonderful Waldorf Iridium & Quantum synthesizer.
This pack makes use of the various native sound engines of the Iridium/Quantum, which are blended with high-quality recordings of some of the fantastic analog pad synths like the OB-X8 and ISE-NIN.
The result is another highly usable pack of presets with some of the widest and warmest pads available on the Iridium & Quantum, immediately usable for many different music genres or a great starting point for further tweaking."

Protein is an affordable and compact 8 voice polyphonic Wavetable synthesizer based on the original Microwave 1 ASIC oscillators combined with modern features of Iridium heritage like the sophisticated arpeggiator, step sequencer, chord mode, effects and more. Protein links back to the very beginnings of Waldorfs instrument makings but interprets the original ideas in a contemporary and surprising way.
With handy dimensions of 252 × 170 × 48 mm (including controls) and a weight of 0.9 kg, the Protein is a true powerhouse packed into a compact and portable new form factor that stands as the first statement of a new upcoming product line.
