Waldorf Nave Arpeggiator Demo

There’s quite a lot you can do with Nave by Waldorf. The sonic range of the “next generation” wavetable synth is very broad. For this demo I wanted to experiment with programming a monophonic arpeggiator tone. At the start of this excerpt I had the drive set way up, then I gradually lowered it to nothing during the course of the phrase. I also made some on-screen-adjustments to the filter envelope to evolve the arpeggio.

I plan on spending a lot more time with Nave. If all you do is explore the presets most of them are over processed and harsh sounding. However, it really feels like a capable instrument if you’re willing to put the time into programming and playing it with a proper MIDI controller.

I have not had the time to check all of them out, but the ones that I have tried so far are all very interesting. Instead of leaving the sound as is Joo Won slowly applies processing to the recording creating a new perspective for the listener. Here’s a recent addition to his series, Water Bubbles.
