Waldorf M // First Look (Patreon)

Here's a few demo sounds etc I've recorded while learning the ropes with this.

Its a bit of an odd one in that the Modulation is accessed at the destinations, not via a separate matrix - so more like a modular in that sense. But very limited compared to most new synths.

It does exude charm in bucket loads.  There's something about limited functionality and a few quirks that give something a unique character.  This also has a weird digital distortion caused by a bug in the original's chip which they've replicated here, plus a 'classic' 8 bit mode.

The main review is coming soon. I'm just making sure I've got all bases covered, The LFOs for example can be linked or independent, but have an additional global LFO that's latched to the second - so I'm trying to work out what the differences are - they all have unique functions!! And when playing with a preset I keep think I'm finding bugs, but its actually the way the synth engine interacts with the various parameters.

Fun though :)
