Waldorf Pulse 2

[Larry Pham]

I too had a Pulse once and if it wasn't for a wobbly knob, I would probably still have it :) It was capable of such a wide range of sounds with just a LP filter so I can imagine what it will be possible with LP/HP/BP!

The Pulse was an amazing synth (I had one... I imagine I still have one somewhere...), but i could hear the shortcomings in its digital oscillators, and the PCB was an amazingly crafted piece of compact robust engineering. If there are three *true analogue* oscillators in the P2, then it will sound better. I'm not too interested in the number of tricks these things will pull off - one osc and one filter, can blow the show away, if it's done right ;)
