Moog MiniTaur in there. Note the green stand for holding three OP-1s and the cool black Converse.

"Anyone else notice the similarity between the OP-1 and this Kenneth Grange designed Reuters trading terminal?

NAMM 2012: Waldorf Music Booth Pics

flickr set by MATRIXSYNTH

Waldorf were primarily showing their Zarenbourg electric piano which was working this time. A Blofeld and the new Pulse 2 were present. The Pulse 2 wasn't plugged in but it felt like a real unit in weight and metal enclosure. Note the number of knobs in the main programming matrix section of the Pulse 2 is six while the Blofeld is four. You can see Stefan Stenzel showing the Zarenbourg to a gentleman who apparently was well known in the industry. If anyone can ID him let me know.

"Buchla 200e chaotic-funky-drummer-improv.

Loads of pulse mixing and panning via the 254v Quad Voltage Processor.

Almost vocal like gurgle comes from the "all" output of the 292e into the 291e as a VCA - controlled by a pulsed 266e . . . ran into the "reference source" of the 285e Frequency Shifter. . . . w/ the 285e "signal in" coming from a 261e Principle Oscillator.

Once again, just enjoying the patch here :)"

You can't hear it in the NAMM floor vids, but the Minitaur really does have low clean bass. We're talking Mexican Polka bass tones. :)
