I'm a 10 voices owner and i need to dig it more. Do you know if there is an extensive walkthrough that covers every part of the synth ?

Absolutely loving these videos Miguel. I have just managed to acquire an XT in bright orange (non-nextel) and within 5 minutes I had decided it was never going to leave my desktop. Now on the hunt for a Q! Please keep up with the videos, really inspiring.

Now you get back to work! 😂 I took me years to like the XT. I was trying to replicate sounds from my favorite bands when i was a teen instead of creating my own sounds. The patches are so unique, and it's such an elaborate machine. There are some features that I still don't understand 😂 Beautiful demo, as always 👏👏👏 I think you meant to write: kaf.. cafit...cofeti..cafetière! Thank you

I get that too. Part of the magic. The xT keeps some secrets to himself.

One of my fav synths. One of the things I like most is the strange way an odd parameter changes everything: keytrack. Any tip my friend?
@migueldoliveiracomposer9 күн бұрын
I think just messing with unusual controls, like modulation amount or wave start, goes a long way in this synth.

I still have an original microwave 1 version A and since a few years also an iridium. The new microwave plugin is a great editor for the first microwave. Btw the early Ensoniq synths ( esq1, I still have it) didn’t use wave tables, only later models used the transwaves , as Ensoniq called them

Very good video and its booth, informativ and educative. As a young boy i used to go Wolfgangs store dayly. I bought my first set if synths from him. A Korg MS 20, an MS 10 and the SQ50 sequencer and a bunch of kables. I had no idea how to get this togather. Wolfgang helped me whenever i visit his store. Later on, when PPG close his gates, i bought 2 PPG wave 2.3 in mint condition from two if his coworkers. Now i hava Quantum and a Waldorf M. Everytime, when i switch them on, i remember the kindness a deep inowldge of Mr. Palm. I hope he is doing very well.

What a cool story. I’ve been lusting after a ppg wave since 1984 or so, but it never crossed my path at a reasonable price. Some years ago I bought a microwave 1 from a friend, who actually owns a wave 2.2 as well. I also bought an iridium 3 years ago.
@WokeFree-sg2dn17 күн бұрын
@@Johnsormani Thanks. As i said I had two PPGs 2.3 and now I own a Waldorf M. Sound a feature wise would not trade the M for a PPG today. The sound quality is nearly identical, if not better. Also the M has more features. It is a more than fair replacement für the original PPG 2.3. If the M is to expensive there is now a software version of the Microwave one from Waldorf and the sound is awsome
@Johnsormani17 күн бұрын
@@WokeFree-sg2dn Yes, I have the new Microwave plugin as well. Sounds great and is easy to program. Also have the 3.v plugin from waldorf and Hermann Seib's. I have now more than enough PPG alternatives at hand, so I don't think I will ever have to get a real PPG. I have too many hardware synths anyway( 65)

Appreciate your fantastic XT showcases. You're doing some great patching as well. FINALLY, I have one of these coming to its new home. I recall late 90's when psychedelic trance was at a peak and I found myself at private party where the hosts were DJings. it was one of the DJ's house we were staying in. The next morning we were all Finished but relaxed with some good juices and this guy comes out to the livingroom with the Most Incredible piece of synth I have ever laid eyes on. The whole thing was fin' ORANGE and it just looked like a beautiful spaceship instrument panel. Mine and my friends' eyes were WIDE with curiosity. Then he plugged it into the little PA and ....My God it was full of Stars. Finally... now I am nearing 50 and finally I have the rack on the way. How long I have lusted after a classic Waldorf. The Blofeld I have had and LOVED for years, along with Largo software and Palm's various softwares have just kept my appetite so damn strong. I absolutely love WT and FM synthesis. I even had to get the Hydrasynth,, which I also LOVE. I cannot wait. I am dripping with anxiety to get my hands on this next week hopefully ;) A DREAM coming true. Thanks again. Will definitely be looking for a Q to go with it. They belong together. I feel it in my bones. Keep up the excellent documenting and design. Peace

Oh yes. A classic except for who ever they hired to do the paint. I still have one I bought new and the ugly orange paint is turning brown and rotting off. Hideous paint job. Like a Ferrari with an Earl Scheib job. But I don't care, it is still one of the best 90's synths, for me it is one of my favorites, compares to my Prophet VS. I hope they fired the paint supervisor :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqXNlXuXgsqcn7M

I'm going to have to watch this whole series a few times to take it all in!
