The original Studiologic Sledge had a great concept: marry a state-of-the-art digital synth engine from Waldorf Music with a knob-per-function panel layout based on a traditional subtractive synthesis signal flow, giving you all of the benefits of DSP modeling synthesis without the tedious menu-diving that plagues other digital synths.
Now, with a new operating system dubbed Sledge 2.0, Studiologic and Waldorf Labs have added even more power and versatility with the ability to load and play back user samples either on their own or in concert with the rest of the synth engine. A handy free Mac/PC utility allows you to edit your samples and upload them to Sledge. They've also added some extra performance features, including an Auto Dual mode for easy splits and layers and more granular pitch and hold/sustain controls. - Hudba
That opening. Chaka Kahn's Ain't Nobody. You played something that got my attention, Chris. As a synth, it's awesome.
That was a fantastic demo - thanks
Excellent demo.
The demo at around 7:20 reminds me a bit of a CS-80. Very nice!
Great update, and if there had been velocity included, oh yeah... it would have made an absolute winner. I like the colour - yellow's great !
Hi Seppo Innanen. Not sure if we're misunderstanding your comment, but Sledge's keybed is definitely velocity sensitive and there's even a dedicated knob in the amp envelope section to control velocity sensitivity.
...and it's got aftertouch, too!
What about construction, is it solid enough for touring or playing on weekends ? Some friends got the first version and they had to treat it with much care as its too plastic
Can this produce all the sounds of the PPG 2.2?
can anyone here help me out? is this better than an ASR-10 or R7000? i need a good keyboard workstation/ synth that can sample different sources and inputs then spread the entire sample at various notes/pitches and octaves across the board. can this synth do that? or should i be looking more towards a few good DAWS and software programs for that?
How is the keyboard scaling? Anything like the old DX7 keyboard? This is reminding me of some kind of mutated D50 where the control is a lot easier to use. Hmmm, I am beginning to have G.A.S. again.
The patch starting at 7:17 sounds very familiar to me...Like a long, lost friend.
Reminded me of a CS-80.
Thanks for this. Great walk through.
Side question: what's the silver machine to your right with all the knobs on it?
Hi tom fish, that's the Analogue Solutions Telemark, a SEM-style analog synth module: www.novamusik.com/analogue-solutions-telemark-synthesizer.html
sound in 7:22?
I am considering purchasing a Sledge, and was just wondering what kind of amplifier you recommend using with it.
Invest in an audio interface and a decent set of monitors like KRKs, then you can record and control the synth via MIDI ;)
I feel like you could easily remake eathbounds soundtrack with this.
by "samples" are we just talking about loading customized/edited presets or actually samples a la .wav files... say of someone speaking or a dog barking, etc?
indieclock They are samples! Sledge has 60MB of internal memory and its own sample transfer utility. Studiologic doesn't list out all the formats it supports (it just says 'various formats'), but it's not a situation where they need to be converted to some proprietary format and I'm 99% sure both WAV and AIFF are good to go.
Hate to be party pooper but with 16 gb thumb drives for less than $10...how much more would that have added to the cost of this synth? I just don't get it. Can you hook up a thumb drive but it can only old 60 mb at a time? That size makes me think of the mid 1990s in terms of storage tech. Why hold that back for such a beautiful synth/sampler instrument? I love the build and the hands on options, so nice to see rather than 5 knobs and a click through, instead you get dozens of hands on knobs, nice. But otherwise the sample data for digital synths seems a market underutilized today. We have 100 plus gig flash drives that could be interfaced in a manner that would allow for upgrades or replacements...can you upgrade the storage on this? We live in a world of gigs of samples on a computer, I guess they just presume we would rather use a laptop and a controller for that, IDk, I would love to see it combined into a synth like this, hard drives are so freaking cheap today.
Q: What would you do with 16Gb of sample memory?
A: Store hundreds or thousands of great samples!
Q2: And how would you organize and access them through a tiny two-line display?
A2: Uhh...
Connect it to a laptop and use the computer to store and organize things. It's far more user-friendly.
