Waldorf M

M Wavetable synthesizer. Modern tribute to Microwave I and II/XT. 8 voice polyphony and 4-part multitimbral. 2 Wavetable oscillators with 96 factory wavetables. Analog lowpass 24dB/oct and digital filters. 2 LFOs, arpeggiator, SD card slot and more. Desktopsynth med upp till 25 röster, 1000 ljud, USB 2. Med Blofeld så har Waldorf skapat en ny synt som har de fantastiska ljuden från föregångarna men med ett modernare och ännu aggressivare sound! Med Blofeld så har Waldorf skapat en ny synt som har de fantastiska ljuden från föregångarna men med ett modernare och ännu aggressivare sound! Blofeld är en kompakt desktopmodell som bl.a. har superaggressiva filter och fantastiskt simulerade oscillatorer, men även wavetables från Microwave 2 /XT/Wave och sist men inte minst PPG wave, (80 tal!). D.v.s. en ljudmotor med allt från sköna PPG-wave vibbar till de senaste Q modellernas feta sound. Släng in en grym arpeggiator, en elak Overdrive, våldsam Distorsion och känslig Shaping så har du den nya tidens hårdvarusynt! M är en kraftfull wavetable-synth som hyllar och återupplivar ljudet från klassiska Waldorf-syntar som Microwave I och II. Med äkta 8-rösters polyfoni (expandibelt till 16), dubbla wavetable-oscillatorer per röst, analoga filter och en tydlig användarpanel erbjuder Waldorf M både nostalgisk karaktär och modern flexibilitet. Du får tillgång till originalens varma och distinkta klangpalett, men med dagens bekvämligheter – som OLED-display, MIDI över USB, och omfattande modulationsmöjligheter. Waldorf M passar både för klassiska pads, vassa leads och experimentell ljuddesign, och är ett måste för dig som älskar den klassiska tyska wavetableskolan. With M, Waldorf are musically returning to their roots by bringing back classic Microwave and ‘modern’ Microwave II tone generation as a new-generation classic hybrid wavetable synthesizer with an analogue lowpass 24 dB/Oct VCF — SSI 2144 Improved Ladder Type — with resonance and analogue saturation feature, true stereo analogue VCA with panning option, and much more to explore in a desktop-friendly form factor featuring a wide range of unique sounds. M has a total of 16 banks with 128 memory slots each. The included sound presets – 1024 in total (divided into 8 banks of 128 sounds) — professionally programmed by world- renowned sound designers also include all of the classic Microwave sound sets, such as MW1 Factory Sound Set, MW1 Soundpool 1-5, the fat-sounding Analogue and Bassco, as well as PPG Wave 2.3 sounds cleverly converted for the original Microwave. Moreover, it also features freshly-programmed sounds utilising M’s myriad new features — from true hard Sync (when working in its Modern Microwave II/XT mode) to the ARP (arpeggiator) and MIDI-syncable global LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator). But beating at M’s musical heart as an eight-voice polyphonic, four-part multitimbral WAVETABLE SYNTHESIZER — as boldly blazoned in red across its full-metal blue- coloured casing, itself hinting at its illustrious Microwave heritage — are two wavetable oscillators with independent wavetable-generating Classic Microwave 1 and Modern Microwave II/XT modes, meaning that the wavetable oscillators behave differently in both of those modes (accessible by pressing the Mode button beside the helpful high-resolution graphic display with four endless encoders for yet more hands-on control). Consequently, there is no hard Sync or ring modulation available in the Classic Microwave I mode, where 16-bit wavetables are bit-reduced to 8-bit and a 240 kHz non-anti-aliased sample rate is offered, whereas the Modern Microwave II/XT mode offers a 40 kHz sample rate with band-limited wavetables, although both oscillators — OSC 1 and OSC 2 — offer the same panel parameters. Two LFOs are generating a periodic waveform with adjustable frequency Rate and Shape that can be used for modulation purposes, are also always at hand. However, unlike other Waldorf synthesizers, there is no classic modulation matrix in M. Making a conscious design decision to set up M’s modulation facilities directly on the corresponding display page, to paying tribute to the 1989-vintage Microwave. Back in the here and now, M takes performance to a whole new level, thanks to that advanced ARP with 16 preset patterns, chord mode, and an ability to synchronise to MIDI clock. Furthermore, four programmable ENVELOPES allow adventurous users to manipulate sound parameters via rate or timed modulations. Musically making a connection to the outside world is important to any synthesizer, so M offers five (rear panel-positioned) stereo analogue outputs — arranged as MAIN OUT (L/Mono and R) and AUX OUT (A, B, C, and D), the latter of which can be used to route each of the four Multi (multitimbral) parts to different outputs, if desired; a stereo headphone output (with an associated Volume knob in addition to the topside Master Volume knob); 5-pin MIDI IN, OUT, and THRU DIN connectors, complimented by a USB 2.0 MIDI port (for computer connection to transmit and receive MIDI data); an SD Card slot (for updating M’s firmware, importing/saving sound patches, and importing/saving M-specific data, such as user wavetables); and — last but not least — a Kensington® compatible security lock slot.
