Waldorf Rumored to Debut Working Stromberg Synthesizer
According to a posts on NovaMusik and Harmony-Central, there are details of the new Stromberg synthesizer and word it may be shown. This new keyboard spearheads Waldorf’s analog modeling technology’s evolutionary advance. It boasts wavetable oscillators that come courtesy of wavetable synthesis’ inventor and a well-stocked sample library. On board is an immensely efficient two-way filter multimode system with a comprehensive selection of classic filter types in several qualities (24 / 12 / 6 dB) and exclusive PPG, com and cascade filters. Polyphonic up to 100 vioce. Analog addons a-filter and valve are 16-way analog filter bank and a freely variable tube module for warm saturation. Word is a working Stromberg will make is debut at this year;s NAMM

Ancestral call – Alba Ecstasy
adimsimion shared this video with us – First synth jam on 2011 using the usual gear: Roland MC-307, Evolver DSI, Korg microX, Korg Z1, Waldorf Blofeld.
This year will start soon with new acquisitions: Korg microKorg, Clavia Nord Wave, a Mopho keyboard, and I want to upgrade my audio monitors: Adam A7x or Focal CMS50 I think. I didn’t decided yet what monitors to choose in 1000 euros price range. Will see!

Another night improvisation …. sorry for mistakes (-: (Yamaha RS-7000, Roland JX-305, Roland V-Synth XT, Korg Prophecy, Waldorf micro Q, Casio VZ-1, Korg 03R/W …. )
A new Waldorf PPG
Waldorf is preparing the latest version of it’s soft PPG… version 3.V. They have added sample playback from the awesome looking and named Waveterm. I really liked the previous versions of the plug-in because they definetly sounded different. I admit though I never ended up using the PPG in a song. That’s not going to stop me from trying again.
“Besides the well-known features of the PPG Wave 2.V our new plug-in offers sample playback based on the classic PPG Waveterm technology. We have added some nice stuff like an opulent effects section, filter drive as well as an extensive sound browser. Not enough? Well, what would you say if we added the complete Waveterm B sample library and more than 130 wavetables (a lot of new stuff created by Wolfgang Palm).” – waldorfmusic.de

Waldorf Largo manual
I have gotten a lot of questions on how to get hold of the manual for the Waldorf Largo (perhaps it is not included in any torrent packages, LOL)
Well now you can have the manual in either way
Minimal Electro Soundset for Waldorf Largo + Reason Refills
Minimal Electro Soundset for Waldorf Largo – The new Minimal Electro Soundset for Waldorf Largo from german sounddesigner Holger Steinbrink is now available in the Waldorf Webshop.
The soundset contains 128 single programs, created especially for the needs of electronic music producers. It was designed to provide crying leads, pulsating arpeggios and fat bass sounds for todays music production. The download package contains the soundset as FXB bank as well as all single sounds in FXB and AU preset format. VST3 presets for Steinberg Cubase 4 and 5 are also included plus a documentation sheet.
Stereoklang has also uploaded yet another 6 nice Free Reason Refills (the 20090115 folder):
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.

The Largo synth soon to be revealed
In May, what many of us have been waiting for, is soon to be revealed the Largo Synthesizer. Largo is the first pure software synthesizer with Waldorf DNA
Largos sound engine was injected with all the notorious wavetables of the Microwave, the legendary Wave and also the Q series. The LFO is already rehearsing very complex steps and the filter drive screams as loud as only our little baby can. So be prepared!
