lookin at the spec, this is basically a seriously cut down Pulse2 concept, with a different case and UI... single VA oscillator, capable of limited paraphony, going into one SVF analog filter. no full envelope generators. just one with decay... like 303.
at least they god some audio this time. but i wont hold my breath until this comes to the market.
edit: since i missed that video above... altough its obviously a limited setup, i think it sound very interesting for a first impression. the little blippety bloppety arps are very liquid.. like the highpass string towards the end too. also since it paraphonic i.e. one env and one filter...these is god given for chord stabs too.

Hey waldorf.. steal the software from the xt.. add analog filters and vcas. Same interface as the xt.. then ride the money train and release the stromberg
Don't you guys think the Rocket is a better mini synth than the Korg Monotribe? It may be a little early, but it looks to offer more for not much more money.

seriously.....we have to wait 1 year for this ? Waldorf are supposed to be a professional company....this is more like one of those freebies in a japanese electronic mags.
wow, tough crowd in here. I think Waldorf would probably get a much warmer welcome for this little box if there was not already so much anticipation for bigger things from them. That's tough to manage.
Low price and good sound might be enough to attract people from outside the crowd who were already paying attention to Waldorf, and that's always good

Haters gonna hate. I think this thing sounds awesome, perfect for little techno stabs, deep house chords etc (paraphonic I know, but will do the trick). Good move Waldorf, will be buying...
So, while the filter is analog, the oscilator is digital?
Is the oscillator digital? Say it isn't so. I have extreme aversion and revulsion to anything digital. Only analog is truly "pure" in synthesis. If I go to gigs or watch concerts - if the keyboard player has any digital synths - I cannot take them seriously. They are not true artiste's.

I don't think that anybody hates Rocket. It is more that some people rather have a full featured synth instead of a Monotribe knock-off.

The XT is covered in rotary encoders, I doubt they'd come cheap. Then add filters and VCAs for 8 voices without using CEM type chips, it all adds up.
The Ambika is the modern day answer to the Microwave/VS sort of synth:
My suspicion is it will spank the P12 for overall tone.
I'll take two please, the posibilities for loop mangling in stereo are mind boggling...
Under 300.00 ea. US too please...looks like a great product if it actually makes it to market...
wanted: dead or alive...I'll buy 2 for no other reason than to help them stay in business...

Me too. I usually take it upon myself to leave the establishment right there on the spot. Pfft! They aren't kidding anyone, those digital oscillator using imbeciles.

I have tickets to see Depeche Mode in May, but I think I might not go because I am concerned that there might be some Viruses on the stage. That would completely destroy their credibility for me.
If I were you, I'd call in advance and check. I'd ask for my money back if they aren't using analogue oscillators. After all, only true artists use them.
