+ | |||
+ | Waldorf Rocket is a modern analog-sounding hardware monosynth created and made by a German company Waldorf. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Pros ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Strong sound for leads and basses. This thing has a virtual analog oscillator and a true analog filter. The combination sounds very analog. | ||
+ | * Direct access and editing of all parameters on the fly. Great for performances where sound is evolving while playing. | ||
+ | * Interesting user intefrace design where every knob counts. It pushes the box beyond what a traditional monosynth can do. | ||
+ | * Filter is very powerful and can be pushed to sound aggressive. The box includes even a boost switch to give even more saturation and overdrive. | ||
+ | * Looks cool. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Cons ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * No control for attack of ADSR. | ||
+ | * Sine wave available only via filter resonance so it is limited and it is hard to mix it with other waveform types. | ||
+ | * No noise generator so limited ability to do for example percussive sounds. | ||
+ | * The powerful sound is not so great if you want soft pad sounds. If you are looking for a soft-sounding synth then this is not a synth for you. | ||
+ | * Not actually a con but as all synths that come without effects the bare box sounds dry and dull without delay, reverb etc. For example Boss TE-2 Tera Echo works well with many sounds. | ||
