WALDORF PULSE [2002 – ]

My first real analog (DCO as opposed to VCO) I ever did anything with (the Korg really doesn’t count). Monophonic. Very simple Waldorfian interface, which all things considered is rather ok. As most people, I would prefer a knob for each parameter, but given the sound and price, the 6-knob UI can be forgiven. Making sounds with this is really easy: twist a knob and hear the sound change. Repeat until satisfied. Very different editing than on, say, the Kurz. Excellent machine. At some point I considered getting another one, but that would have been a bit silly. The bass on this one is, and the output is quite hot. This one moves walls, unless you’re careful.
