"An impromptu improvisation, playing (from left to right) the Roland SH-01 Gaia (pad), Korg Minilogue XD (synthy lead), Roland JD800 (electric violin), and Jupiter X (piano/bell)
Ambient? Ethereal? Sad? Spooky?
You can decide."

TONY's TESTBENCH - Episode 1. Waldorf Microwave XT-K

video upload by Tony Drake

"Episode one of a series of reviews of synthesizers that I come across.

The first synthesizer to get the once-over is a Waldorf XT-K wavetable synthesizer which was loaned to me by Andy D'Alton, an old friend of mine who had just serviced it and replaced the power supply. He was keen for me to put it through its paces, and i was happy to oblige.

The XT-K is gritty, intuitive, and edgy. From simple classic 'analogue' sounding pads, to grungy, to bright, and lots in-between.

A great creative tool, and easy to 'tweak' to create your own original sounds.

This video is not intended to go in-depth into the workings of the synth, but more to give the viewer an overview and a first impression by creating a short musical piece using a random selection of sounds, exclusively found on the XT-K. Detailed specs can always be found online.
