Waldorf Microwave XTk / XT

[chinaskikicksass]

Dude, the image is shaky and the colors are ba-a-ad, you should fix the camera. :D

[MrLucaMacca]

Fantastic!!!!! Where can i buy this Synth??????

[rgipson191]

I use an SPL Vitalizer with my XTk. While it still won't sound like an analog machine, it gets surprisingly close to the sound of the Microwave 1 with analog filters I will post up some clips next month. I'm very happy with this setup.

01 : 57..... so deep bass-beautifull!! ...  i wonder about virus user's, hahaha! btw i own a Q , its more trippy i think but ths becomes a quality synth also* thanx for posting this.

[javiceres]

Most amazing range of sounds I've heard in a single synth demo.

I've hire you if I could ^_^.

[javiceres]

Veeeeeeeeeeeery well done !!!!!!!

[wolfgangfaust]

thanks for this video. i just bought one, coming from the UK-mainly from seeing this.

i was seriously thinking of an OB12, but when i saw this-the lightbulb went off.

-wavetables, wOOhOO !

:-)

Nice job, very creative programming. The XT has a great sound and lot of knobs for tweeking. One of Waldorf best synth.

[orientalflux]

nice synth, however I don't feel any analogue there, sounds very digital.

[leerique]

@orientalflux but this synth can be very analogue just with special wavetables.

[zenmachinefilms]

@leerique - I don't know that this instrument needs to sound very analog. To paraphrase John Foxx of Ultravox, I believe it's going to be a challenge of today's generation to learn to understand and program digital so it sounds good...as digital. Not just as VA.

Nice demo, btw.

[thermalmaximum]

@orientalflux Yes, it's very digital. There are all many different sounds in the world, and analog (or analog emulation) is not the only tool you can use to make music. I like analog synthesizers too but they can't make the sounds that the XTk makes, and vice versa. Appreciate instruments for what they are.

[TheCountaaron]

@orientalflux who gives a fucking shit if it sounds analog?..  this is a digital wavetable synth and has no intention on sounding "analog".

[orientalflux]

@TheCountaaron hahaha easy baba! my mistake then

[AnalogNoiseLab]

@orientalflux Go buy analog if you want analog. This is a wavetablesynth and it eats you alive dopehead!

[firehandszarb]

Wow someone who knows how to program their synth!

[leerique]

@firehandszarb haha. =) it's not very complex synth, really. =)

[Tri3Dr]

@leerique

Have you used it's wavetable envelopes and user wavetables? ;)

Or those modifiers which look like mathematical formulas +, -, *, /, XOR, OR, AND, S&H, ramp, switch, abs value, min value, max value, lag proc., diff. etc..?

I would say that this thing could be complex..it just depends on user if using all of it's possibilities. Gladly it can produce marvellous sounds with just subset of its parameters. =P

[gtadead]

sounds filthy just what i need for my hardstyle/hardcore productions have to find one of these.

[docscharf]

thanks for an exploration of your talents- now play the synth

[Flipjunkie1]

What exactly is wavetable synthesis ? what does this do different ? thanks for your reply and great video !

[leerique]

@Flipjunkie1 please use Google and Wiki. there is the answer.

[Flipjunkie1]

@leerique Cool , sorry to bother you . 

[leerique]

@Flipjunkie1 no biggie. =)

[gridsleep]

I already have a Roland V-Synth GT. There is an opportunity to get an XTk. Can the XTk do anything that the V-Synth GT cannot? I really want to know.

[leerique]

@gridsleep as i know V-Synth knows nothing about Wavetable-synthesis.

[SynthgodXXX]

I've had two Xtk's in the past, looks like it's a target for the studio again! Love the video! :)

[leerique]

@SynthgodXXX =)

[batvalj]

what a melody!

[damienmmm]

no im gona buy a nord lead rack 2 but good production do av u much equipment

[damienmmm]

look ok il be honest it doesnt sound anywere near the detroit sound mate tanx again

[damienmmm]

is this the detroit sounding keyboard how much it cost u like is it like jeff mills sounds on it is it good for techno

[leerique]

@damienmmm you asking me? listen sounds in video and ask yourself, man! =)

[leerique]

@damienmmm what do you mean?

[drtritri]

@damienmmm

Yes.

[alanjayee]

@damienmmm just to answer the question... the start of the video does sound like a lot of the underground resistance sorta outta space sound, just remember dude.. its the proggramer not the synth. so yeah that synth would do the job well. but you gotta know how to get the sound outta the synth if you get me bro..

[pomfrit93]

Is this synth good for trance, acid, goa. etc?

[leerique]

@pomfrit93 any synth is good for any music. you just need to know which sounds you need and then you need to check synth's capabilities.

[pomfrit93]

@leerique yeah of course :) I got, a korg esx, tr 606, sh 101 and im buying a x0xb0x next week if you know one of those. and after that i need to add some strings, effects etc. what would you suggest?

[leerique]

@pomfrit93 try one of old viruses (b/c). these synths are easy to find and has extremely wide capabilities. i think, every synth-tweaker must have at least one virus, no matter which music he writes. ;)

microwaves are very cool, but they are very strange-sounding devices. so, if your "trance/acid/goa" are not for "profit" - microwave can add some strangeness into your music. ;)

[pomfrit93]

@leerique then i think that i am going for a microwave ;)
