Sledge 2.0 New features
Auto Dual mode: Sledge 2.0 can now play two sounds at the same time,
in Split or Layer mode; the feature is controlled by a new page of the Global
function and allows to simply keep one note (for Split) or more notes (for
Layer) and then select a new sound, that will be added to the previous
sound; as any other sound, also Dual Sound combinations can be
permanently stored in any of the 1.000 available presets;
Global Pitch & Hold controls: a new Global page allows to enable the
Pitch and the Hold separately for the Lower and Upper sounds in Dual Mode,
allowing to use the Pitch bend on the Upper sound (i.e. for solo parts) and
the Hold pedal to control only the Lower (to keep playing a Drums groove or
as a Damper for a Piano sound) and vice versa, or to enable Pitch Bend and
Hold on both Upper and Lower sounds;
Reverb+Delay: a new function allows to mix both effects; the Reverb
keeps the setting previously selected, while the real time controls (time and
level) allows to set the parameters of Delay also when mixed to the reverb.
Samples: sound samples and new waves can be loaded in the internal 60
megabyte of Flash memory, played by OSC 1 and modifiable by all
parameters of the control panel, adding other oscillators, setting filters,
envelopes and effects. This feature can constantly expands the instrument’s
sounds and create a totally new combination of synthesis and sampling.
Sledge Spectre: samples can be edited (keyboard range, tuning and other
parameters) and transmitted to Sledge 2.0 by the USB port, with this easy
sample editor that allows to first load and play the samples on your
Computer and then download them in the instrument’s memory.
Enhanced Polyphony: the total maximum number or notes that can be
played at the same time have been expanded to 24, allowing to get a better
real time control over the new sound possibilities obtainable from synthesis
and sampling together.
Note: the Sample License is pre-installed for all new Sledge 2.0, while it can be
downloaded at Waldorf’s site linked below (with a fixed royalty price) and installed in all
previous Sledge instruments, while all other new features are included in the firmware
version 2.0.
