Members afr Posted January 19, 2012 Members Share Posted January 19, 2012 http://www.studiologic-music.com/sledge.html So we implanted the DSP heart of the latest Waldorf modelling technology into Sledge. The result: enough power to put the foundations of your studio seriously at risk! And plenty of detail, to create the richest analogue pads you could ever want. Besides the classic analogue synthesizer waveforms, you will find a complete set of Wavetables, derived directly from the mother of all digital synthesizers, the PPG Wave.

Members k2500x Posted January 19, 2012 Members Share Posted January 19, 2012 Why all the inputs on the side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gaul Posted January 19, 2012 Members Share Posted January 19, 2012 Looks like a winner, except that we know not polyphony and available multi parts. And that must the most awkward position of the screen, specially when you see how small it is. I cab bet it's more readable from the opposite side than from the players perspective.

Members evildragon Posted January 19, 2012 Members Share Posted January 19, 2012 A Waldorf without Waldorf printed on top! Too bad I don't really like TP-9 keybed at all.But I do want to know about the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members afr Posted January 19, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 19, 2012 I asked preliminary info about price list to our italian distributor, should be around 1.000 euro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vito Corleone Posted January 19, 2012 Members Share Posted January 19, 2012 Interesting.... Especially this: Besides the classic analogue synthesizer waveforms, you will find a complete set of Wavetables, derived directly from the mother of all digital synthesizers, the PPG Wave. ....wonder how long before this hits the market?

Members gridsleep Posted January 20, 2012 Members Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'm thinking more along the line Microwave XTk v2 with emphasized PPG and Blofeld actualization. If it has an editor that runs under XP x64 I would class it perfection. The connections on the left side are very reminiscent of my Hartmann Neuron. I like orange. Yes, yes, I'm going to go looking to see who is taking prerelease deposits. Most like NovaMusik or Sweetwater, at first. I would really like to hear the audio. There isn't a single YouTube or other sample anywhere. Why would a manufacturer not want everyone to hear their new machine? Later: actually, in saying it has the latest DSP modeling technology, that would be the Q Phoenix. The Sledge is a Q Phoenix/Microwave XTk/Blofeld, methinks. Interestinger and interestinger. Later still: the specs say Fatar TP/9 keyboard, which is in their digital piano range with mono aftertouch, not the synthesizer range. Not many adding that these days. There is a TP/9S synth keyboard which also has aftertouch, but does not come in 61-key. So, the Sledge appears to be a Waldorf-type VM/AM/FM/Wavetable synthesizer with powerful analog type controls, 256 sound storage, using vanilla USB drivers so it should work with XP x64, a digital piano quality 61-key keyboard with channel aftertouch and a monophonic mode but no mention of how much polyphony, and easily accessed connection points. And it's orange. This just keeps looking better and better. So, why are there no videos or samples available? That is away too puzzling. Still, who would not want one?

Agreed..Better than nothing here is a page with a PPG Wave demo (first player on the right handside)http://www.waldorfmusic.de/en/waldorf-edition.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
