True that! I want it so bad!!!

[@galifettetv1238]

Excellent !! 🤣

[@d3tuned378]

​@@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.

Ok but cost aside, I loved every sound you made with this synth. Really makes me wonder why we don't have Waldorf burned into our collective memories alongside Roland, Korg, Moog and Yamaha. They make some absolutely killer gear but always come as an afterthought like "oh yeah, I remember those guys... I think they made some pretty goood synths. I just can't remember which ones"

[@AudioPilz]

I think it's just not that big of a company punching above its weight

[@PostingCringeOnMain]

@@AudioPilz I think they get so frustratingly close to perfection and then just fumble the bag at the last minute leaving you screaming “WHYYYY?” … like not putting a delay or filter section on the Streichfett.

[@AnalogDude_]

We do, the Micro Q, Q, Microwave, Rack Attack and Pulse are legendary devices, but where also over engineered heavy indestructible enclosures and very expensive, but the current Waldorf company is not the same company, it went bust and some investors came along.

[@craigmoran893]

Its because they have issues, Blofeld was the worst purchase I have ever made. A real fuckin lemon. But at least it forced me to look for something else, a Virus TI Snow. Shits all over it

Finally, one of my favourite pieces of gear gets featured on your show. I was starting to feel a little left out..

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!

I sold my Pulse 2 for gas money, but I never understood why this synth got widely ignored. It could make some brilliant sounds. Not as complex or versatile as the Blofeld, but it sounded big and made great 'classic' electronic sounds.

[@AudioPilz]

Agreed!!!

[@megamarkd]

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! ✌

[@AudioPilz]

Yeah, that's a great Waldorf setup!

[@coskuarsiray]

I admire the production quality of these videos.

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you!!!

[@norjia]

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

[@AudioPilz]

That one is super interesting!!!

[@jjrusy7438]

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.

[@norjia]

@@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.

Do the Studiologic/Waldorf Sledge 2! I love mine but it is surely the most "Bad Gear" worthy Waldorf.

[@AudioPilz]

Great suggestion, thanks!!!

[@inperfectsequence7840]

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.

[@AudioPilz]

That sums it up nicely!!!

[@SmallWorldBigThings]

Luckily Waldorf has encoders available on their website. BTW: I didn't hear anything about encoders for MC-101 sold separately on Rolan's website ;) Great video - as usually!

[@watchaddicts1213]

@@AudioPilz once…I owned the ruby red Q+ O M G gorgeous to behold and hear. I waited over 2 years for my first John Bowen Solaris-it was number 58, as I recall. Sold it because, unlike my Andromeda, it was not pure analog. Short time later, sold the Andromeda and began to cry over my missing my Solaris. I ordered a second one, in BLACK. It was so beautiful. Point? John did some Lovely Waldorf patches, vowel OSC and whatnot. Silky. John would verify all this and might add, “I think Mark has some undiagnosed personality disorder thing going on” So many manufacturers are selling out and building CRAP. Good for your biz. Right now, my dream poly is: SUMMIT. Based on Polys that make stunningly beautiful sounds, I’d be as happy with a summit as I would MOOG One. I was about to buy the HydraS, heard quality summit patches and backed out on the Hydra. What am I doing?! You don’t have time for this! Go…be funny and creative

As an original Pulse owner, I can say it lives up to the sound too. Both Pulse and Pulse 2 are absolute beasts in terms of raw sound. They do have a certain character you have to like, but if you do, there's nothing to replace them. Just listen to that saw bass at 04:34 for example. Impossible to replicate that power and exact character with anything else. And that's why you buy an analog synth, right? For its character. And both Pulses have plenty of it.

If IBM made synths 😳😳😳

[@AudioPilz]

Lol, there's some truth to that!

Got one of the original pulse racks, it sort of reminds me of Waldorf having a crack at making a weird hybrid somewhere between a Moog and a Roland 303, its fat, somewhat warm and classically Waldorf scary. Not so sure about the soon to be discontinued modern one though - it sounds a little thin on accounts of harmonic saturation and roll off - its overly bright sound is probably in need of a little eq to dial it in to a versatile sweet spot. However it likely sits comfortably in doing Lead sounds with just a little more flexibility than the original.

Nice! I'm super interested in trying an original

I'd post it, though slightly apprehensive about international post - and the ins and outs of how to declare non export exchanges :)

Another of my synths ticked off on the Bad Gear treatment list, and it's another Waldorf *hugs Quantum and thinks, don't worry my love, Florian will never get to you*
