Waldorf Pulse 2 Demo

[@jimmyfigueras4476]

waldorf is underrated

[@chakko007]

Dunno. They're pretty famous.

[@digitalbeat666]

not in germany

[@PureAmbientDrone]

Awesome little synth with BIG sound!

[@michaelbauers8800]

Some of those noise based sounds are worth the price alone. They sound amazing. My P12 has noise, but I have not mastered it to the point where I am thinking it sounds amazing.

[@PerfectCircuit]

+Michael Bauers This guy gets it. :) Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@AveMcree]

just got finished watching the demo of the old version and I have to agree. I'm a sucker modulation noise. I like my beats to sound sci fi lol

[@PerfectCircuit]

:)

[@cablevamp3163]

Woah the speed on the lfo did that just hit like several note ranges? It sounded like FM algorithm changing but then went to what sounded like a saw wave LFO...if the LFO is that fast holy shit.

[@Deeplycloseted435]

The mod matrix on this thing is ridiculous. Similar to the flexibility of DSI Mopho/Tetra series, but three DCOs and allow using oscillators as sources for audio rate modulation. This is a serious sound designer’s synth. I only wish that they had used that screen in the way they did on Blofeld. Who gives a shit about the patch number? Its weird. They could have displayed envelope shapes, LFO fades, etc. Also, a digital delay would have been a nice addition. Get one from europe, brand new they cost less than 2nd hand in US.

[@jeffc1753]

Kevin Harris I wrote to Waldorf many months ago and requested that they swap out the large patch number on the screen with more relevant information. Their response was that they were too busy working on the Quantum. And that’s their problem. Almost every single product they’ve ever made has an incomplete OS because they get bored so quickly with what they have and allocate their resources on the next big thing. Blofeld still has bugs galore, for instance. It’s a shame.

[@cranleyful]

The fact you've never owned an analog synth may explain your reasoning. I've never heard a better Waldorf synth, and this is one of the very best sounding new monos of the last 15 years.

[@rare_grooves_shack_1983]

if you like spitty digital sounds

[@6581punk]

You're listening it compressed digital video via KZbin, probably via laptop speakers or a smartphone. You can't judge the sound quality or video quality of anything this way.

[@bembeleee]

@@6581punk lesa or more you can it isn't that bad both the video I have a pulse 2 and it's sound like in this video my friend so wtf are you talking about

[@mark35mi]

Funny. Its an 8 voice paraphonic synth that outshine many tricked out mono synths. Nice!

[@chakko007]

Good demo, showing the more extreme sounds too. Thanks. :)

[@adamsmith4416]

One of my favourite synths of all time. Hard and raw as fuck.

[@coldwar1977]

Holy shit, this sounds good!

[@VeliMattiRautio]

The keyboard is Roland RS-70: )

[@inversion66]

And of course in this context doesn`t matter, since no RS70 sounds are used.

[@VeliMattiRautio]

Tim Gueguen It's the answer to Mahiram Vigneswaran's question below: )

[@RCmies]

Here I was looking for a good first synth, with a good keyboard, to buy, and I stumble across these way better sounding ones that completely made me rethink my purchase...

[@vmitchell1131]

RCmies okay same lol I thought I was gonna get a DeepMind. Nope.

[@6581punk]

I had one, there's just way too many presets and not really enough oscillator power. You have to use the FX a lot more as part of the sound design.

[@michaelbauers8800]

sounds great - tempting

[@PerfectCircuit]

+Michael Bauers :)

[@Pulse2AM]

I had a orange xt and a micro Q, I can hear the Waldorf sound in this which isn't a bad thing at all.

[@Greynote-Music]

it's a great synth! here's another demo: Waldorf Pulse 2 demo by Greynote Music

[@Em0killer13]

really prefer this over many other entry level monos. (moog slim phatty, dsi mopho...etc) but my solaris has a sound equally as fat if not more and is digital.... *patiently waits for the analog renaissance to wash over*

[@kingtrance6826]

Yes and your Solaris has an equally fat price tag Em0killer13. Fantastic synth though... Enjoy! 👍

[@illustriouschin]

imagine how fat your sound would be if you layered enough Pulse 2s to equal the price of a Solaris.

[@weaponEX]

Thanks for the demo! Do I have ludicrous tin ears, or does this Pulse 2 sound less good than the Nord Lead 4, despite being bonefide analog!? I've never owned an analog synth, perhaps I'm not listening out for the right aspects of the sound.

[@junglestar]

***** can u give us some advice on what eurorack components to get ? Not to expensive but to start off with. I'm looking for modern sounds though, but most ppl think modern means dubstep, not true.

[@6581punk]

Nord Lead 4 has FX. Any synth sounds more "complete" with FX on it. The Pulse 2 doesn't have an FX section other than distortion.

[@javiceres]

weaponEX Bear in mind that, for pseudo polyphonic sounds, the Pulse has only 1 filter

[@detroitmachine1731]

where did you get that stand from holding the waldorf?

[@detroitmachine1731]

***** thanks :)

[@amazeus1980]

Is it possible to use waldorf CV outs to control other gear?...I would like to connect Akai MPK 25 to midi in with waldorf and then CV outs from waldorf to moog werkstatt...would it work with these connections? Would like to know before i will buy this synth. Many thx !

[@javiceres]

Yes it can do that

[@gregkenne1764]

Thanks! Great way to display the powerful sounds of this little power house. Keep up the great work!

[@zachjernigan9976]

Somewhere between juicy and creamy

[@gldnpyramid6411]

Are those black laptop stands still available?

[@rhampton1914]

Awesome Video...i love the sound of the Pulse 2...btw what controller is that you are using...

[@mattjbyron2010]

I am a major P2 fan! What are you recording that audio through? Sounds awesome!!!

[@tasfa10]

Sorry, if this is a monophonic synth, how's he playing chords at 3:49??

[@TobiasAsjogren]

tasfa10, the 3 oscillator is tuned to a chord

[@TobiasAsjogren]

5:43 into this kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3TIaWiqfNiZhpY

[@MUNRO13]

It’s 8 voice paraphonic.

[@MrBoxxed]

the sounds around 1:10 you just wont get directly from a moog hey?? trying to finalise my decision to sit one of these next to my minitaur. I love the roundness of the Moogs but this offers no much more modulation.

[@VonMollestein]

Like the siund on 2:22

[@silkee]

Which stand is that? I need.

[@foggydrifty]

2:25 !

[@RubenHulzebosch]

Demonstration of the editor for the Waldorf Pulse 2

[@nodidog]

Do these have a stereo out, or is it mono?

[@nodidog]

Thanks. Great video, as usual!

[@chicoandtheman7599]

***** Are you the same "perfectcircuitaudio" who sell musical gear on eBay?

[@chicoandtheman7599]

***** Ahhh, I thought so. I've bought stuff from perfectcircuitaudio before, on Ebay. They're GREAT sellers. The items are always promptly shipped, and arrive carefully packed & exactly as described. perfectcircuitaudio is VERY trustworthy & reliable. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to purchase music gear. ;-)

[@effebidi9677]

I would have love it bi-timbral .. Even if this course would be doubling everything

[@anonymusum]

If you pretend this to be a demo of a synth then you shouldn´t always play in the bass range. Playing bass isn´t the normal task of a keyboardist.

[@trevor4835]

it's a monosynth. many people are gonna be using this module for bass sounds.

[@benbauer1065]

Lol
