​@@AudioPilz I have it at work. It. Sounds. Amazing. I almost cried when I first turned it on and flipped on a sequence and tweaked knobs. However it deserves to be on bad gear simply to acknowledge the shift function hell that you are partially submerged in, in order to get to deeper settings. Usually I don't mind but Roland made it unintuitive to find out naturally or without a manual. Their manual could be better as well. But.. every bit of frustration is worth it. Fantastic sequencer perfect for people who don't know chords but want to design a good progression. You'll see what I mean.

Okay, I had to watch this twice to make sure I wasn't mistaken that you didn't really make any negative critisism of the Pulse 2. The intense Waldorf goodness that oozes out of the Pulse 2 is immense. Everything you have marked as cons are the niggles at most (if you own an og Pulse 😉) I paid a ridiculous amount a decade ago and when it arrived decided it was worth every penny. Oh and I loved the Atari meme. Pulse 2 does an amazing Nanoloop emulation. A Pulse 1 and 2, Blofeld, Streichfett, your favourite set of drummachines (which reminds me you need to get your hands on a Rack Attack for a show, you will suddenly love the stabilty of your Blofeld encoder), tie them all together using a couple of Arturia sequencers and you are in for some legendary lost hours! ✌

I have just got my hands on an immaculate second hand Pulse 2. My god it sounds good! It’s rich and creamy, thin and gnarly, deeper than Atlantis, wide and spacious, thick and dark, precise and clinical, open and hands on - all at the same time. Such an excellent all-round (mono)synth - wildly flexible with multiple modes of engagement and operation. Set up an external MIDI controller encoder knob array with CCs and it’s so playable. I can’t believe how lucky I am to own one of these things. I have it in a little rack next to its Blofeld cousin. BTW thanks for this excellent review!

Waldorf Pulse 2 is the waldorf minimoog and it's octaphonic, it can make incredible 8-note chords, the sound of jupiter 8 and CS80 for example and the arpeggiator is identical to the one the blofeld has. It's the only analog that Waldorf has in their catalog, and it's really great with its filter and PWM. Great little machine with spectacular sound. I use mine with waldorf blofeld keyboard, and have both machines play from the keyboard, while blofeld sounds routed to the input of his filter.

Never thought about this synth at all, but I'm surprised how lovely it sounds. Monosynths can be all a bit samey after a while so this has some neat tweaks on it. UI does seem to be a bit unintuitive or weird, but hey. I'm going to keep an eye out for one now. I recently bought a JD-08 after you showing it off on here, and frankly it's become my go-to synth for just composing and playing around.

I absolutely love this synth. I got bored waiting for the FX board & dressed it up with a vintage roland delay & a June 60 chorus. It's bloody excellent. Everything you do in the video sounds better than anything Korg has ever made. The price on these will double & triple immediately. Just never felt like paying $70 for an editor. Using the knobs to program it is kinda like a Fallout minigame lol P.S. my encoders are fine but there doesn't seem to be a setting for 115 bpm. it seems to go in 2's

6:35 You know, General Motors used to tune their car horns to two notes, and every division used a unique pair of notes so you could tell a GM marque from the sound of its horn alone.

I wonder if the Deepmind 6/12 would be a fit for this channel. Roland snobs in particular seem to despise it because it lifted the filter circuitry from the juno 106 etc. Tho to me it still takes very much it's own path. It has a control sequencer which you can route to pretty much anything in fact you can internally route everything to each other as long as you don't go over the 6 modulation slot limit you, you can also modulate anything in the FX section, it has 2 LFOs built in aftertouch, a generous display (which can show you the slider placement settings for the patch you loaded in so you can adjust the knobs to to where they should be for the patch. It also does not just have midi in and out.. but also thru. Generally it just seems (and feels) like a great package, even if it's behringer. It's one of their only unique pieces of gear and i just wish they'd do something like that again

I had to look through all his vids because I keep suggesting gear he already has made a video about. This is a good suggestion. I also own a ghetto-juno module and I really like it. Way more powerful than it gets credit for. The uno pro is quite powerful too, but herr Florian already did that piece.

@@jjrusy7438 i once suggested the Roland Gaia SH-01. A few weeks later, guess what synth he made a video on. XD a great learning synth, bit difficult to integrate in your work but absolutely wonderful for ambient drones and the likes.

Again well succeeded especially the sound files. So far that synth sounds quite properly through my headphones. (Perhaps the latter white-wash the sound a bit.) Loss of bass & volume with high rezz settings most likely cascade VCF's guilt.
