That's just one "auto-playing" 4 layer patch, controlled with modwheel,
aftertouch and pitchbender.
Not very useful, but funny anyway.

And now that it's snowing here, three fitting cold Largo sounds:

Hope that my spine will soon be alright again:

Nice sunday all."

"Yes, Largo is approaching :D

Largo looks like Blofeld/uQ in terms of parameters, but it can sound quite different and has some very fine additional features.

First of all, it has all the wavetables Blofeld has, including the Upperwavetable, the matrix, the 4 envelopes, 3 LFOs, 2 filters, FXs etc. all known from Blofeld/uQ. Also the arpeggiator is there.

In addition, the first two oscillators have a sub-oscillator with selectable foot and level settings.

The phaser FX has been improved a lot. It sounds *way* better than the one on the Blofeld (personal opinion).

There is an added Fuzz FX in the FX section which also sound pretty good.

My personal favorit: the step LFO (only LFO3). you can set a value for each of the maximum of 16 steps and you can also smooth out the steps a little if wanted. Last but not least, you can set any number of steps while the LFO speed is maintained.
Now when you sync the LFO to MIDI clock you can imagine the funny things you can do. I really love this feature and hope to see it back one day in Blofeld.

The delay has gotten extended delay time up to three seconds. Very usable for ambient sounds :)

There is a global equalizer and also a bass boost knob to finetune the overall sound of Largo.

You can create four layers of sounds and send them to various outputs if wanted. Waldorf also developed some smart bank/preset loading/saving routines. (maybe some other betatester can spread a bit more light on this? I didn't use it yet).

All in all, I started to like this piece of software a lot. Not bad for a hardware guy :) 90% of the parameters are approachable by MIDI CCs so with a good controller it feels like hardware anyway.

Is there nothing to complain about? Well, maybe only the missing PPG filter. Not sure if Waldorf intends to add this in a future release. But even without it Largo gives so much sound fun.

The above is just my own personal view on Largo, developed during testing. It will hit the market in the very near future as far as I know.

Check it out!

Boele"

And via Stefan Trippler:
"If it's of any help, the Largo demos I already posted on the list were made
on a Pentium Dual Core 2,4 GHz

http://www.trippler.net/files/mp3/tanzindenmai.mp3
http://www.trippler.net/files/mp3/messie.mp3
http://www.trippler.net/files/mp3/lullaby.mp3
http://www.trippler.net/files/mp3/murmur.mp3

In terms of the sound character: when I made these demos I had only my own weird sounds available that always have a little too much overdrive, FM or modulations of any kind. The Largo can also make nice sounds ;)"

Last month I received a Facebook message stating I had been tagged in this image from Billy Kurniadi's Photos. I noted the custom wood knobs, and thought, how cool, so of course I posted it. I saw a ton of other names tagged as well, many I recognized like James Maeier aka Carbon111 who hosts the excellent XT resource site, Stefan Trippler who hosts trippler.net, Wolfram Franke and Stefan Stenzel of Waldorf, Wolfgang Palm of PPG, the father of wavetable synthesis, and too many others to list here. See Facebook here for the full list. I thought we were all tagged to check out the wood knobs. I'm sure this was the case, however, there might have been another reason. What didn't occur to me at the time was what might have been the actual reference to the tagged names. We are all just waves in a wavetable, waves in synthesis. That is pretty cool.

For those not familiar with wavetable synthesis, in short, a wavetable synth uses wavetables for it's main oscillators. Rather than a basic saw, square, sine, triangle or sample as the source waveform, you have access to a table of multiple single cycle waveforms. A single cycle waveform is pretty much a single snapshot of what you'd see in an oscilloscope. Think of a wavetable as a spreadsheet with each cell containing a different snapshot. In the XT, each wavetable has 64 cells. You can either select one of the static waveforms and use it as an oscillator waveform like you would a saw, square or other waveform, or you can "sweep" through the table by applying any available modulation source like an LFO or envelope. This is how you get evolving textures out of a wavetable synth. For more see Carbon111t's site and Till Kopper's Waldorf FAQ site.

Update: I originally stated Stefan Trippler hosted the Waldorf FAQ site. It's actually Till Kopper.

Via David Bryce on this VSE thread. Sent my way via HarriL. And, no this is not the Boomchick developed with Roger Linn:

"This has been developed in almost complete secrecy. Only a few people know about it. This is the first time it's been mentioned publicly.

As I mentioned earlier- it ain't gonna be secret for much longer. The first run is being built right now, and will be ready for shipping next week.

The only hint as of this post is black with wood ends.

Updates in the thread (thx goes to ben of mus-ok for the tip):
"sizzlemeister wrote:
It's got to be a 5 or more voice simple Rev 4.0-like Prophet.

Basically correct.

Quote:
It'll be like a PEK using the CEMs DSI uses in the Evolver, but minus EVERYTHING digital excepting patch-storage and MIDI.

Again, basically correct.

Quote:
This to address the market demand for a modern, affordable analog polysynth from DSI that has 5 or more voices. So, keeping the voice architecture "simple" like a P5 with no bells and whistles allows to maintain a "lower" price-point.

Yes...but it does have some bells and whistles. We kept the sequencer, added the arpeggiator, and tacked on one or two more fun little functions.

Prophet '08. Eight voices, all analog. Shipping next week.

"It does use the same CEM chips as the Evo stuff, but they sound different because Dave tweaked them differently, and the system isn't the same without the digital stuff in the signal path.

I think you'll be surprised. I sure was...

regarding pics:
"
I don't have any good ones, and I believe we're waiting on the production models to take a formal one. We've all been working on hand built prototypes. I think I'm the only one who has one that has the knobs with the silver caps.... Very Happy

As far as the price point goes..$2199 MSRP, $1999 MAP.

Update (thx to Xavier for the tip in the comments):
And we have a teaser video from non other than Stefan Trippler.

It's been almost a year since I put up this post on Trippler.Net, however I've put up a number of posts featuring Stefan Trippler since I started this blog. Stefan recently posted a few links to his Evolver pages on AH. I decided to check them out again, along with the rest of his site. If you haven't been there, I highly recommend checking it out. As of this post you will find tons of info and samples of the following synths: Waldorf MicroQ, DSI Evolver (all versions), MiniMax ASB, and Virsyn Tera 2. What's great about his samples is that they are pretty diverse, and usually utiliz the given synth for all tracks in the piece. Really good stuff.
