Waldorf Pulse 2
£419
We picked the original Pulse as one of our most underrated synths back in 2012, but the arrival of the Pulse 2 has shone the spotlight back on the series and brought it the attention we always felt it deserved. The original was a monophonic 90s classic and the Pulse 2 is a fitting update.
Despite the fact that it’s packaged in the same attractive desktop module format as Waldorf’s digital Blofeld, don’t let the form of this slim, lightweight synth fool you into thinking the sound will follow suit. With three digitally controlled analogue oscillators and a very flexible multi-mode filter, the Pulse 2 is every bit as fat and heavy as its older brother.
Where the Pulse 2 really shines is its versatility. Although the controls on the front panel might seem simplistic, Waldorf’s programming matrix is an intuitive approach which provides access to a huge range of parameters. The Pulse 2 features unison and paraphonic modes, an arpeggiator, two LFOs (one with MIDI sync), distortion effects and a huge range of modulation options.
Make no mistake: there’s a hell of a lot of synth packed into this little box.

Wow, so you can plug your guitar on ‘audio in’ and what comes out is the synth sound? Can the Moog Sub 37 do this? For midi sync, I would need midi connections right? Which is better Sub 37 or Pro 2?

Always wondered what the Elektron Monomachine, looks sick.

Damn what about the MFB Dominion 1? That’s easily one of the best monosynths on the market today.

First question Are you up to date with 2025/26 in regards to DJ experience in all formats, hence vinyl records education at events whether it be 100 or 1000 attendance and advice for multi genres in vinyl and digital mixing
They do differ In events
Not only in headphones advice but in the transition for mixes, different levels on a mixer
I feel this should be addressed more often for all ages esp up and coming DJs and in production as this is vital for all, not just digital mixing
Also,Consider countries outside the UK
No matter the economy! There is so much untapped gifted people with very little financially all over this planet
And like myself with 30 years experience DJLUSHNZ in New Zealand Spent 20 years in London until 4 years ago have noticed a growing divide in DJs and producer’s who just can’t and are so stubborn in reaching out to all this talent and their crews and promoter’s won’t budge on opening their hearts and acknowledging there is a heck of a lot to be improved on and not sticking to the same old line Up or safe bet
