Studiologic Sledge USATO cod. 64426

For many enthusiasts, it is the unique interaction between the user interface and the sound engine that makes Sledge such a great tool. A quick glance at Sledge reveals the extensive set of controls available for directly interacting with the sound engine. When you touch the knobs and switches on the front panel, you immediately sense the meticulous attention to detail that the engineers have honed over many decades to create one of the finest electronic keyboards. You’ll experience the logical setup of the synthesizer modules, which mirror the signal flow of a classic analog synthesizer. But what truly sets any synthesizer apart is its sound. Fortunately, Waldorf Music has generously shared its expertise and know-how regarding this crucial aspect of the Sledge synthesizer. As a result, the Sledge incorporates a state-of-the-art Waldorf DSP core. The result is enough power to seriously shake the foundations of your studio—and a wealth of detail to create the richest analog pads you could possibly desire.

In addition to the classic waveforms of an analog synthesizer, you’ll find a complete set of wavetables derived directly from the mother of all digital synthesizers, the PPG Wave. The output of the three oscillators, along with a noise generator, feeds into Sledge’s powerful multimode filter with a selectable 24/12 dB slope. The instantly recognizable Waldorf filter algorithms enable a wide range of sounds. Two LFOs plus an additional Wheel-LFO are on board to offer vast, yet easy-to-understand, modulation possibilities. Two effects units provide sophisticated effects such as Chorus, Flanger, and Phaser, as well as a rich reverb or delay. Best of all: if you’re familiar with how a classic analog synthesizer works, you won’t have to spend precious time reading the manual. There are no dual or multiple functions on knobs or buttons. All of the synthesizer’s parameters are clearly and ergonomically laid out right before your eyes, accessible at your fingertips.
