I had a Waldorf Pulse. While the raw sound is pretty great, it wasn't a very stable unit. The knobs are pretty weak and prone to breaking if you like to do a lot of live tweaking. My unit never worked 100% all the time. There were always issues with midi data. It acted more like a true old unreliable analog synth than a digital hybrid. It's probably a synth for the hard core collector or analog modelling nerd.

@NarcissistsDie Have owned several, and NEVER experienced any of what you claim. The thing's reliable, stable, etc.

[NarcissistsDie]

@hardcorehouse I definitely had a dud one then.

[schnoot]

@NarcissistsDie Triggering issues is why I sold mine, years later I listened to old recordings and regretted abandoning him.. So happy the Pulse 2 is coming \:D/

[jeanfatale]

I'm about to trade my Alpha Juno for a Pulse. What do you people think? I'd say the Pulse usually goes for about 50 euro more here in Sweden. I have a Nord Rack 2, so if I need a steady polysynth I've still got that one...

[mummstylesound]

@jeanfatale Your question is too difficult for me to answer because I really like the Alpha Juno too!

[jeanfatale]

@mummstylesound :(

I like a real modmatrix though. And it would be pretty nice to save som space. Might buy the MKS-50 sometime in the future. At this point I'm leaning towards a trade...

[javiceres]

@jeanfatale You´ll probably discover a cool world of modulation with any Waldorf synth...

[footmarshian]

i use to own one like this with the red button its a very nice bass synth but the thing is when you move the nobs with Arpeggiator it can jump with the values settings

[mummstylesound]

@footmarshian Yes, if you go to another "matrixpoint"or when you're using the shift-function the parameter values could jump!

[footmarshian]

@mummstylesound yes waldorf said they was going to fix it with an update but they never did but is was a good bass Synth very powerful

[narudh]

Great demo makes me GAS for one!!!

[blauwolfenduro]

knorke!

[NemoVolterra]

I just bought one of these and I'm in love. I spent two weeks hitting F5 on eBay looking for one of them. SOUNDS SICK.

Anyone know where I can get an environment for it in Logic?

[VegassTrades]

I'm selling my Waldorf Pulse, if anyone's interested message me. Looking for £260 ono.

Thanks

[VegassTrades]

@VegassTrades this is still for sale, can post to most countries

[Contrastrecordings]

what i like is the random feature .. mostly it just gives the crazyest sounds out .. I will take this synth with when i die :)

[MissKinksAhoy]

My college has one of these and I fell in love with it as soon as I heard what it could do. Nice bass sounds, oh how I'd love one of these :).

[M3sslah]

@MissKinksAhoy I regret so that I sold it after understanding how shit most VSTi actually do bass, they have no attack or punch they all seem to be slow attacking compared to this.

[brandonelliot]

That patch at 2:14 was what sold me... Once I heard THAT & learned that this machine is REAL analog (not virtual), my mind was made up lol... CAN'T WAIT TILL MINE GETS HERE!!! 2 non-original knobs but who really cares lol

[NemoVolterra]

@brandonelliot lol fancy running into you here.

[paulyscrate1]

I will never sell mine!!!

[maccagrabme]

@paulyscrate1 Is there not a softsynth that emulates a lot of these sounds now? Particularly on the sub bass, Rob Papen sounds pretty punchy and I hear Trillian has a lot of decent basses.

[mummstylesound]

@maccagrabme I don't think that any softsynth or virtual-analogue synth has the bass-power of the PULSE!!!

[mpresev]

wow

[kellyssa3]

Delicious fat sound! Thanks for posting this great demo. 

[roblegit1212]

I was a teenager when this came out. Bought one cheap off of a friend ($200). I miss it!

[mpresev]

@roblegit1212 how many part multi timbral? 

[roblegit1212]

@mpresev

I reckon it's not.

[roblegit1212]

@mpresev

But I swear I remember borrowing an oscillator for a second part.... don't know

[mpresev]

@mpresev 2 - 16

[mpresev]

@mpresev sorry, I found out it's one channel.. I want one though.

[docfraktal]
