Waldorf Rocket Synthesizer guided synthesis walkthrough.

[@falsecrab]

Thanks for this video, your knowledge is priceless. I'm waiting for a Rocket to arrive this week! Lots of GAS

[@patsonmusic]

Very thorough walk-through on the features and how to use them, thanks!

[@frazzle7976]

best demo thanks

[@TheNimasan]

this is stil such an underrated great sounding synth with sooo much more potential, tremendous price ....exactly like her bigger sister streichfett and junger brother 2 pole filter. put these 3 together and play them...... i swear you are gonne get an ear orgasm. i use them since end of 2012 since they came out and under all my synths my mdular system included.. i love these 3 so much. play them with the arturia keystep pro sequencer and you cant leave it alone. much support to this channel from munich germany

[@walrtbstudios5430]

Just taken delivery of one of these, and it more than makes up for my REON Driftbox R arriving broken. This is an absolute beast of a synth,and I can already think of loads of uses- some of the even practical. One of my better buys I think!

[@zoundsic]

Worth picking up cheap (I got one used for $100) Agree, great addition to anyone's sonic arsenal and it sounds full on despite it's size. have fun

[@Rshields388]

zoundsic yeah? Where did you find one for that price if you don’t mind me asking?

[@theMIDImaniac]

Hi! Your demo made me buy one! It will be a great addition to my studio. Thanks for your videos. Grtzzz, Roger

[@zelly8163]

Didn't know it existed, a friend offered it cheep. In my studio didn't think much of it at first then I midi-ed my bass station 11 to it, put the output of the bass station into the rocket and it took off. The rocket really added depth, and yes it ihas s great filter. Glad I bought it.

[@Pontiki1977]

excellent presentation again.

[@promethiousb1489]

Got one of these in my set up,,,great little synth,,,big sound…good vid too.

[@anonymusum]

Great review!

[@raymondo1021]

I got this a couple of years ago ,unfortunately without cd and the app has long gone . Am I missing out much? Great demo 😼👍

[@EthanEves]

"this is for bass" ... never plays a bass note 😪

[@DavideRuggerini]

great review, one of the best

[@TeddehSpaghetti]

I want one but would not pay more than $150 for it. (It also seems simple enough to build from scratch and maybe add more voices.)

[@Marius-vw9hp]

buying this one for filter arpeggio stuff :)

[@Marius-vw9hp]

Bought it, love it.

[@_EightySix]

@@Marius-vw9hpHaha, thanks for the update! I'm saving for a P6 but tempted to snag one of these.

[@Marius-vw9hp]

Whats a P6?

[@_EightySix]

Prophet 6

[@skyreadersociety6183]

the boost is a bit nasty... Anyway - one of the most useful synths under 200.-. The chord / paraphonic options (the saw can also be played with 8 voice paraphony via external keyboard btw.) is really very musical. Think of getting one (again), it's even a great filter box with a punchy evenlope for external processing + luckily the LFO is clocked.

[@cybernaumemusic]

It's great synth

[@SouthShoreSonics]

Would love to hear a 4 on the 4 drum beat along with the MIDI clocked LFO/ARP.

[@javierzubizarreta2933]

Excellent review! Filter is 12dB though...

[@belamila7583]

Where can I purchase one of those for a good price?

[@tweakabit3682]

Rocket science. :)

[@SouthShoreSonics]

With the external VCF IN, is it possible to trigger the envelope for the filter via MIDI without triggering the internal oscillators?

[@Nu-trix]

No, the VCF in is only an audio path not a trigger in.

[@SouthShoreSonics]

@@Nu-trix Thanks. A Rocket came up on kijiji so I thought it might be a replacement for a 2Pole, but they want $450CAN for this and cheaper for Rocket. As I paid slightly over $300CAN for my 2 Pole (I wanted a second), I won't play close to $500 with shipping for one.

[@smersy83]

what's the deal with the midi out? doesn't send clock ect....

[@Nu-trix]

It does send MIDI CC Messages for every knob movement.

[@immofroehlich7539]

How did you connect the Volca beats to the rocket ? I wanted do do the same but I have to hold the launch button for any signals.

[@Nu-trix]

The enveloppe of the rocket need to be open to hear the incoming sound. Either with the trigger on the rocket or via MIDI or find a way to program a very long enveloppe, almost a drone.

[@Rshields388]

Wonder if this will get close to Brian Eno/Robert Fripp/David Bowie “Low”/“Heroes” type stuff...

[@lloydthehuman6922]

if i were to write a synth melody in midi using a vst could i send that same melody through the rocket and record that?? thanks great video

[@Nu-trix]

Yes, you could try different things, like playing the same MIDI melody for the VST and the Rocket. Then send the VST instrument out into the audio filter in of the Rocket and get a combination of the the VST + the Rocket oscillator before the filter stage. Why not try a drum loops instead of a VST synth and pass it through the Rocket filter?

[@25adbond]

DId you buy it with all the ads in this video?

[@Nu-trix]

Sorry for that. I did not notice that their was so many adds. I'm changing that right now. Thanks for the heads up!

[@mrpickenz7760]

hey might be a stupid question but is this synth polyphonic given that the oscilator is digital and has unison? I'm a noob to synth stuff so idk ^^

[@Nu-trix]

It is not a noob question. It can be confusing.. you are right to say that in an analog synth unison exist only if the synth is polyphonic . But in a digital virtual oscillator it can recreate many oscillators in one instance. Hence creating unison sound with a single oscillator.

[@mrpickenz7760]

@@Nu-trix Oh ok I understand and thanks for the quick reply :) But does this synth then also have the option to play more than one note at a time for chords ?

[@Nu-trix]

This is a monophonic synth. I can only play one key at a time.

[@mrpickenz7760]

@@Nu-trix Hey thanks again for the reply but funilly enough I have since seen videos of people playing chords with up to 8 keys with the rocket when in unison mode. Maybe give it a try. In all the videos I saw they played the notes after oneanother and kept them pressed down as they did so but it did then play all the notes at the same time. Not sure if you can press the notes down at the same time for the same effect though :) Anyway keep up the good work, I look forward to watching more of your content as I dive deeper into the world of hardware synths ;)

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Would you get this or the Blofeld if price is same? Now if I found a killer deal for $100 for a Rocket that would be a no brainer! Pair it with my Elektron Octatrack for fun!

[@jumpingman8160]

blofeld

[@kcat80]

you found a blofeld for the same price as a rocket?

[@michaellyle8769]

Does that Speed knob follow the rate of midi clock coming in?

[@Nu-trix]

Yes, when the Rocket receives MIDI Clock the Arp is locked to tempo.

[@JoeCarterDesigns]

Ok... another GREAT Video! So here's my question: I really would love to learn the fundamentals of Synthesis (Just now starting to learn that there's a difference between additive and subtractive synth) - could you do a video similar to this using an inexpensive app like DRC or Zeeon Synth - where you don't have to go hundreds of dollars in to learn if this is something you want to pursue? I'm learning so much from your channel and other on KZbin and I really appreciate your time with these videos.

[@Nu-trix]

Ok, it’s on my list.

[@JoeCarterDesigns]

Nu-Trix The Synth Guy :: Awesome! : )

[@Nu-trix]

Hi Joe, here is the first of the Synthesis 101 series that you triggered. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3O7qZ5rn6uqpc0

[@DocFirewire]

I dont understand the Hype of everything with an "analog" badge on it... Waldorf is definitely NOT known for analog Synths. Waldorf for me, is the peak of digital synthesizers at its finest, and they bring a wave of fresh air into any synth collection full of stinky old Rolands and Moogs. 🤷‍♂ Get yourself a second-hand Blofeld and find out what I'm talking about. My opinion.

[@Marsden12001]

Where did you purchase it from? Thomann?

[@Nu-trix]

Marsden Meyer, i got it directly from the Canadian distributor in a warehouse sale.

[@MatthewChristianMurray]

Is the stereo input mono or stereo?

[@Nu-trix]

It’s mono.

[@valdiskrebs566]

Nice sounds, how would you use it?

[@Nu-trix]

Hi Valdis, I’m planning a series on my workflow for creating my next EP. It will include the Waldorf Rocket in it!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

This would go perfect as an add on synth to my Analog 4, 0-coast and Moog Sub 37! Now I need to find a bargain.

[@MinimalWave1982]

no attack ?

[@Nu-trix]

Nope.

[@Nu-trix]

Design choice

[@andyjohnson9714]

50 $$. in all other cases just buy Behringer crave.

[@Nu-trix]

Sorry but Behringer still needs to prove that their hardware has the quality built to stay functional in the long run. I have no idea on the quality built they have today but I the past the Behringer hardware I worked with did failed a lot quicker that other brands. I still have 20 years old Roland synth that was use by students in its first live. Talk about abuse! And it still works. In the case of Waldorf the quality built is made to last. I’m curious to see in 5 years how the Behringer will hold up.

[@mrpickenz7760]

@@Nu-trix from what I heard their synths are actually really solid and awesome. I just bought the neutron and love it to death. I haven't had it for long though so I really hope nothing goes wrong in the future.
