Details on the new, affordable Waldorf Rocket synth continue to roll out in the form of audio demos. This one from Jürgen Driessen uses Rocket sounds only, though enhanced with a bit of DAW - reminds me a bit of Leftfield..
We're hoping to see some Rocket action up close when we rush to visit the Wladorf booth at next months Musik Messe.
But just for now we'll have to stick with the teasers and this list of features. Oh, and the fact that Axel Hartmann had something to do with the design of the panel - possibly. If your German is up to much, our friends over at MusoTalk.de had one on their weekly podcast. Unfortunately mine isn't..

Instead of more renderings, they should show it naked, like Moog did with the Sub Phatty before NAMM, but maybe that's not Waldorf's style.

I don't think this video is 3D rendered. Little things like the imperfections in the chrome switches, the general lighting. Completely different to the first video.

Which parts in the accompanying piece is by the synth and what's added from other instruments? And what production was implemented on the demo.
What's the point of giving an audio demo when you can't tell which is the synth?

@Joc. You're right. I was watching on iPhone and didn't see those the first time.

What happened to Pulse II? I have an original Puse unit and the bass that comes out of that unit just shakes your house. I was looking forward to the new Pulse II not a cheap toy like unit.

I'm with GTRman... I heard an original Pulse in a store a few months back and I couldn't believe how great it sounded. I went back the next day to get it and it was gone. It's cool that this looks like it will actually come to market, but I have a ton of decent to great monosynths already with no presets, etc. I'd love to have something with memories etc. like what the Pulse 2 is (or was) looking to be like.

And this video is definitely not rendered...
