Oberheim OB1 sound demo

Published on Sep 20, 2013 Lackan110f·4 videos

"A sound demo just tweaking the OB1. No extra FX used, recorded straight from the synth in to the camera. Unfortunately the louder parts has some camera dist to it, but I hope you can hear beyond that and hear the real sound.

The OB1 is especially great for fat basses since it has one sub-osc to each oscillator, and both 2-pole and 4-pole filter. But it can also produce some weird sync- or ring modulated sounds. A very good bread'n'butter mono synth.

I have tried to cover most of the features, but I am sure I have missed out some things. But this will at least cover the basics I think."

iTunes: RD4 - Groovebox - mikrosonic

"RD4 is a little workstation. 4 Tracks. It comes with 1 Synthesizer, called Analog: 3 oscillators, 1 AASR and 1 Filter section. The Analog has it's own grid editor. Very minimal: you can only set the keys and the length of the notes. A Baseline (r): 4 waveforms to chose from, a filter section and its step by step editor. The Bassline is certainly the module that I like the least in this App... To finish, 1 Drum Machine. Its only "shaping" parameter available for an instrument is a Punch button.
As I said, RD4 is a 4 track workstation. The thing really cool is that you can use any of this instrument in any track...
You can use it with 4 Drum Machine, or 3 Bassline and 1 analog...
As you like!
You also have a Mixer, 4 Effects (Distortion, Phaser, Delay and Reverb). one Send for each track but 4 send 4 each Drum instruments.
A Pattern Mode also allows you to play a pattern for each track (8 patterns can be saved for each instrument) from 1 to 2, to 3, and so on. 2 random modes are also available.

To conclude, the App is very well done but...
The Analog Synthesizer is really cool. It is the module I prefer in this App. You have enough parameters to shape your sound as you like.
The Bassline, as I said, is the one I love the least... Not fat enough, for me...
The 2 Drum Machines are cool, but it would be nice to be able to create a custom kit...
The live record mode is really cool, but more sharing features. At this moment, we only have: iTunes File Sharing,SoundCloud and Dropbox. Ok, it's cool, but I really need to have the AudioCopy / Paste at very least.
Hard to rate it, ...
Because RD4 is very well done, very simple to understand, but I want more! :-)
At the same time, it is only version 1 of this App...
I'm sure that it has the potential to be a Killer App..."

Waldorf Announces Availability of Pulse 2 Analog Synthesizer

"BAD NEUENAHR, GERMANY: high-quality synthesizer developer Waldorf is proud to announce availability of its eagerly-awaited Pulse 2 Analog Synthesizer, a cutting-edge reincarnation of the company’s peerless Pulse series, as of Sept 20...

Waldorf’s Pulse 2 Analog Synthesizer is proof positive that good things can come to those that wait. For ever since this high-quality synthesizer developer discontinued its original rack-mountable Pulse and Pulse+ programmable analogue monosynths boasting ballsy bass tones and legendary leads beyond compare, those Nineties electronic music- dominating sounds have been severely sought after by those in the know. Which was exactly what drove Waldorf into development overdrive to produce an all-new Pulse fit for the 21st Century. Meine Damen und Herren, thank you for being patient; please welcome... Pulse 2!

As an all-new, all-analogue synthesizer design, Pulse 2 flawlessly delivers exactly what synth connoisseurs around the world have been truly craving for quite some time — three analogue oscillators living in perfect harmony with a VCF (Voltage- Controlled Filter), yet Waldorf did not stop there: the fresh filter circuits in the Pulse 2 now offer 12dB Highpass and Bandpass modes in addition to 24dB/12dB Lowpass for strengthened sound-sculpting flexibility, while Waldorf has helpfully added analogue Filter FM, two Overdrive circuits, and Ring Modulation from OSC 3, together with Paraphonic and Unison modes allowing up to eight-voice chords — a fantastic feature found on Waldorf’s recently-released Rocket Synthesizer.

Like Waldorf’s well-received Blofeld before it, Pulse 2 is housed in a sturdy metal desktop casing. Alongside its generous 128x64-character backlit LCD, eight eye-catching stainless steel knobs are available to nimbly navigate through the parameter matrix — logically laid out across the front panel for all to see at all times, set the master Volume, and easily edit display-accessible parameters.

Connectivity comes well catered for courtesy of USB, MIDI In, MIDI Out, Ext In (external analogue signal input), line OUT, and headphone output — not forgetting, of course, CV Out (supporting both the V/octave and Hz/V standards) and Gate Out (V-Trigger- and S-Trigger-compatible), allowing a myriad of suitably equipped older (or newer) synths to be connected to the Pulse 2 to mirror whatever MIDI ‘note’ information is being played by the Pulse 2, including the output of its powerful ARP (arpeggiator). And if that’s not enough to be getting on with, the CV Out can even be modulated in the eight-slot modulation Matrix, making for even more tantalising tone colours and performance possibilities!

Alongside analogue must-haves like a noise generator, Pulsewidth modulation, and hard Sync, other notable features include an Alternating Pulsewidth Modulation mode new to the Pulse 2 (offering a dense PWM sound without affecting perceived loudness), and an XOR Osc mode (that is a binary XOR combination of two PWM oscillators with two distinct output levels — high and low only — capable of producing inharmonic spectra unlike anything associated with any analogue synthesizer other than Waldorf’s original Pulse) — all of which, of course, contribute to kickstarting those still sought- after sounds right here, right now in the 21st Century. Speaking of which, 500 onboard sound programs should be more than enough to keep the most diehard synthesist smiling! What’s more, all are backwards-compatible with the original Pulse series, so original Pulse owners can quickly transfer their favourite sounds to their new Pulse 2 via MIDI (dump).

Thanks, then, to the timely arrival of the Pulse 2 Analog Synthesizer, readily reincarnated ballsy bass tones and legendary leads beyond compare can all be yours with much more besides in a truly 21st Century compact and bijou performance package priced to go!


The Pulse 2 Analog Synthesizer is available to purchase from Waldorf dealers worldwide with an SRP of €461.00 EUR/$610.00 USD (excluding tax)."
