I bought me an XTk

Hey guys!

I bought myself an Waldorf Microwave XTk a few months ago, and I just recently got around to using it well. Anyways, I had to see what the "making electro music" capabilities were, so I made this very verh short thing (no sequencing or anything, just me improvising on the synth)

I also tested some of the pad capabilities on it

Sounds good to me, especially the first one.

I'm an XT owner. Wished I had the keyboard. The Microwaves really are a unique instrument. That's a good choice. Have fun.

That's what I've heard. I love the color. The sound of the wavetables being swept is so unique. The XT can have sucn an aggressive and almost analogue sound.

By the way, Pellejones, those are very lovely sound clip samples.

Which Waldorf synth is the "closest" to a PPG wave 2.3? I don´t mean an exact copy, but close. Will the XTk do?

The XTk is just the XT but with a keyboard. Look...

Hi friends of the forum: i've been looking for some information about Waldorf XTK, but it's hard to find. Someone is selling me a xtk, but i wanna ask if the synth is the "big deal" or not...i've listened the patches and are awesome, but i want to ask you anyway. Thanks...Japan. :lol:

I think so. It's not like your typical subtractive virtual analogue synth. I find it to be a great compliment to my other synths. To me it has a very distinctive sound.
