WALDORF QUANTUM // A Single Note Drone

Published on Apr 11, 2020 Genshi Media Group

"This is just a simple experiment of a slowly evolving single-note drone using three different Wavetables and a bit of modulation."

A Strange Happening // Buchla Music Easel + Waldorf Quantum + Moog Grandmother

Nice mix of synths there.

A Strange Happening - is a silly little improvisation between 3 very different synths; the Buchla Music Easel (with both Oscillators sequenced via the Malekko Varigate 4+) the Waldorf Quantum (using my own Custom Wavetables) and the Moog Grandmother. Effects used on the Music Easel were the TC Electronic Mimio for stereo width and the Empress Effects Echosystem Dual Delay. On the Grandmother I was using the Strymon El Capistan, and on the Quantum just the internal effects."

WALDORF QUANTUM // 7 More Custom Presets

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"

WALDORF QUANTUM // My Epic Particle Collider + 2 More of My Custom Presets

So at the end of my previous video, I created my first preset on the Waldorf Quantum using just the "Classic" Waveforms on each of the three Oscillators. In this video, I dug a little deeper, using my own samples on two of the three presets. Details are as follows:

1. "My Epic Particle Collider" -
Osc 1= Particle with my own custom-made sample
Ocs 2 = Particle with my own custom-made sample
Ocs 3 = Particle with my own custom-made sample
Internal FX = Compressor, EQ, Chorus, Reverb

2. "I Will Synthesize You" -
Osc 1= Wavetable using "Talk" feature (Text to Speech)
Osc 2= Waveform using "8 Kernels" plus Warping of the Waveform
Internal FX = Phaser, Delay, Reverb

3. "My Firefly" -
Osc 1= Particle with my own custom-made sample
Osc 2= Particle with my own custom-made sample
Internal FX = Reverb, EQ

Again, I'm still just learning to navigate around this synth, and haven't even scratched the surface of what all it can do yet."

WALDORF QUANTUM // First Quick Run-Through of a few Presets

I finally received my Waldorf Quantum Hybrid Synth today! Was first in line at Sweetwater Sound (ordered just over a year ago!) This is just a quick run-through of a few of the presets minutes after unboxing; with the final clip being my first attempt at programming a patch. There are much better videos of this out there already, I just wanted to document my first experience with it. Once I dive deeper into this amazing beast of a synth, I will post much better videos of my own sounds and how I will use them in compositions and film scores.
