Waldorf presents Protein, its compact and portable wavetable synthesizer. Spoiler alert! Protein has been sold out since the beginning of sales.
The instrument is an 8-voice polyphonic table wave synthesizer that allows voices to be distributed across four different layers. The new model is equipped with oscillators based on the original Waldorf ASIC chip and includes all the original Microwave 1 wave tables, many of which were borrowed from the PPG Wave model.
Protein boasts some of the functionality of the Iridium synthesizer, including an arpeggiator, step sequencer (up to 32 steps), chord mode, effects (reverb, delay, chorus, phaser, flanger, drive, equalizer, compressor, tremolo) and much more. In addition, there is 8-bit quantization and aliasing, as well as a CEM filter model with adjustable decalibration (Cutoff/Resonance), three envelopes, two LFOs (Tempo-Sync and S&H), an 8-slot modulation matrix, Poly-Aftertouch support, and over 100 factory presets and 250 memory slots.
The Waldorf Protein will be available for around $400. For more detailed information about the synthesizer, please visit the product page on the official Waldorf website.
