The new Waldorf Largo
Waldorf recently emerged from a brief hiatus with a new line of hardware synths that draws heavily upon its older instruments. This would be news enough for synthesizer aficionados, but the recent launch of a virtual variant carrying the Waldorf name adds even more excitement.
Largo offers three fat oscillators, two of them with sub oscillators. These oscillators include models of classic analog waveforms as well as a selection of waves from the PPG and Waldorf Wave stored in two Wavetables. All these run through two Waldorf multimode filters with steep cutoff, resonance up to self-oscillation and a drive stage to add even more punch and grainyness to the sound. Ultra-fast envelope generators and flexible LFOs as well as an easy to understand, yet extremely versatile modulation matrix make for a sound designer’s dream.
The filters have always been a core part of any Waldorf instrument. With outstanding expertise in both analog and digital synthesis, our developers took utmost care in developing the filters. And you can hear a significant difference when working with a Waldorf filter – they just sound right! Use the comb filters for plucked, stringed or blown sounds. Band pass, high pass, low pass and notch filters are all available with 12 dB and 24 dB slope. All of them sound extremely accurate and add pure sonic quality to the sound of your music.
Largo contains a flexible arpeggiator with 16 freely programmable steps as known from the exclusive Q synthesizer line plus an array of high quality effects such as Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Overdrive, Delay and Reverb.
The clearly arranged user interface helps you to create your own powerful synthesizer sounds in a breeze. Oscillators and filters are always in direct access while the submodules are only a mouse click away. It has the same exclusive voice architecture as the Q and Blofeld synthesizer line, fully integrated into the total recall system of your Digital Audio Workstation.

Interestingly though, you can’t buy Largo from the Waldorf web site and instead have to purchase from a music store. I’ve provided links for the the free demo and to online music stores at the bottom of this post.

First full length album made on an iPhone
Many single tracks have been produced on the iPhone, but this is more, much more LOL and even a music video made using nothing but the iPhone, but New York outfit Nuclear O’Reilly claim to be the first band to make a whole album using Apple’s touchscreen marvel. The work is titled Phoning It In, and the duo’s App of choice? Intua’s amazing Beatmaker. See/hear all about it in the video below…

The new Melda bundle – 25 plug-ins in all :-)
MeldaProduction has announced the release of the MTotalBundle, a new effect plug-in bundle which, as its name suggests, contains all of MeldaProduction’s effect plug-ins to cover all required tasks when composing, mixing and mastering.
The complete list below:
Mixing & Mastering
 |
MMultiBandDynamicsMMultiBandDynamics advanced multiband dynamics processing module plug-in is an advanced multiband dynamics processor with clear sound; designed originally for mastering, however due to its high performance and zero latency it is also suitable for any mixing purpose. It features up to six fully configurable independent bands. In addition, starting with two compressor/expander units and finishing with an advanced custom processing shape editing feature enabled by our incredible MeldaProduction Envelope System (MES) technology, MMultiBandDynamics becomes a total advanced multiband dynamics processing solution! |
 |
MAutoEqualizerMAutoEqualizer advanced mastering equalizer and analyzer plug-in is a revolutionary (but not only for) mastering plug-in; that combines a powerful equalizer, state-of-the-art linear-phase equalizer and analyzer in a single window. Also, it is the first software featuring our MeldaProduction Filter Adaption (MFA) technology which can actually perform the equalization for you based on an analysis of your recording, another recording or any spectral content which you can literally “draw” using our MeldaProduction Envelope System (MES). |
 |
MDynamicsMDynamics advanced mastering dynamics processor plug-in is an advanced dynamic processor with clear sound. Starting with two compressor/expander units and finishing with an advanced custom processing shape editing feature enabled by our incredible MeldaProduction Envelope System (MES) technology, MDynamics is a total dynamic processing solution! |
 |
MStereoProcessorMStereoProcessor is an advanced multiband stereo analyzer and enhancer plug-in. Using MStereoProcessor you can make your recording and mixes sound more professional, by easily adding the necessary perception of depth and space. |
 |
MReverb Coming soon…MReverb is a special reverb designed for mixing, particularly spatial positioning, which has been a very hard and time-consuming task. Until now… You need to specify room properties and then you only need to move the sound source where you want and MReverb will try to make it sound like the object is in that spot. |
Mastering
 |
MMultiBandLimiterMMultiBandLimiter is an advanced state-of-the-art multiband mastering brickwall limiter plug-in that makes your recordings and mixes sound louder with minimal distortion and artifacts. You don’t need a Ph.D. to achieve great professional quality results with our plug-in and a little work. |
 |
MUltraMaximizerMUltraMaximizer is a simplified version of MMultiBandLimiter designed for one single purpose – maximize the loudness of your recording to maximal levels. |
 |
MSpectralDynamicsMSpectralDynamics spectral mastering dynamics processor plug-in is a true mastering revolution. It can do many things, but it’s main feature serves as an ultramodern hi-tech replacement for multiband compressors and loudness maximizers. With top-class features such as custom shape processing it can provide you with a varied and wide range of effects. Additionally, it provides you with a free-form linear phase equalizer with a range from -80dB to 0dB; which you can use to fix specific issues in your recordings and mixes. |
 |
MDynamicsLimiterMDynamicsLimiter advanced mastering dynamics limiter plug-in is a state-of-the-art mastering brickwall limiter that makes your recordings sound louder with minimal distortion and artifacts. Again, no Ph.D. or Engineering Degree needed to use it! |

It has crystal clear sound with minimal distortion (measured below -160dB). It doesn’t smear transients or create mud, nor does it alter the imaging and depth information of the original sound. It is especially useful for enhancing or correcting difficult material like vocals, instrumental soloists and groups, orchestral recordings and complex mixes; without introducing any unwanted coloring. |
