Overview Specifications YouTube TutorialSoundsets Sound Demos Pictures FAQ/Downloads

Tellingly, the classic Waldorf Edition has had a visual makeover, but its core values remain unchanged and unchallenged:

the holy trinity of inspiring software instruments!

All PlugIns now have a radically revamped user interface. Besides this, Attack now contains an exceptionally expanded effects section with Delay, Equalizer, Drive, Phaser, Flanger, Chorus, and Reverb.

PPG Wave 2.2V is a virtual reincarnation of its namesake cult classic, coming to prominence with the trailblazing PPG Wave series starting back in 1982.

First resurrected in 1989 with the Waldorf Microwave, today it enjoys a new lease of life in virtual studios on Mac and PC computers. Classic wavetable synthesis is known for conjuring up the feisty analogue and digital hybrid sounds that have graced so many hit records over so many decades.

Attack is a percussion synthesizer powered by an almighty analogue synth sound generator. It transports the trademark sounds of classic Eighties analogue drum machines and the progressive electronic club beats of the Nineties onwards and upwards into truly 21st Century production environments.

As Attack computes all sounds in realtime, users can change any parameter directly.

D-Pole completes the Waldorf Edition 2 lineup as a very versatile filter plug-in with five filter types (lowpass, bandpass, high pass, notch, and resonator), SAMPLE RATE reduction, RING MOD, OVERDRIVE (ranging up to +52 dB), and stereo delay — all in wondrous Waldorf quality!
