The Waldorf Rocket is a monophonic synthesizer with a digital oscillator and multi-mode analogue filter. With a small footprint, this compact module is perfect for sitting on a studio desktop, acting as a creative sound production tool that will launch your music to new synth-drenched heights.
The design of the Waldorf Rocket seems simple at first glance – with several wave forms to choose from including Saw, Square and Pulse Width with modulation, a single multi-mode VCF, LFO and envelope generator, the familiar functions and allow you to craft a range of fantastic basic analogue-sounding tones.
Things get deeper however, when you start to use the 8 oscillators in detune mode. By adjusting the tune knob to unison, you can create classic, soaring leads. Selecting chord mode opens up immense possibilities for pads by layering different oscillators set to different intervals to create major and minor chord variations.
Including an audio input for the filter, a booster circuit, an arpeggiator and full MIDI control over USB, the Waldorf Rocket is an incredibly well specified and great sounding synth module at a fantastic price point.
