Attack 3 Update

*Update from Edition 2 to Attack 3

The Attack 3 from Waldorf is a versatile percussion synthesizer that combines the character of classic drum machines with modern electronic beats. From powerful kicks to melodic percussion, it provides all the tools to craft unique rhythm and percussion sounds.

What’s New?

• Completely redesigned, scalable interface and significantly expanded synthesis engine
• Improved MIDI learn and dedicated browsers for kits, sounds, samples, and MIDI mappings
• Revamped oscillators with precise phase control for synthetic waveforms and powerful sample playback: support for custom samples, velocity mapping, round-robin, and flexible start positions
• New 24-dB filters, positive and negative comb filters, sample-rate reduction, and a wide selection of drive types for added character (Clip, Transistor, Diode, Crunch, Pickup, Overdrive)
• Two advanced envelopes per sound with multi-stage ADBDSR mode and fully adjustable curves; all times and levels are fully modulatable
• Two full-featured LFOs per sound with classic waveforms, sample-and-hold, noise, and tempo synchronization

• Per kit: 24 sounds (12 playable polyphonically), insert effects per sound, and six output buses. Each sound includes its own compressor and EQ plus a selectable effect (Chorus, Delay, Reverb, Drive, Phaser, or Flanger). Each output bus additionally provides its own compressor, EQ, and three further effects – delivering maximum sonic depth and studio-quality sound
