I used to work for the "old" Waldorf Electronics. Waldorf was an emotional company to be with so I'm still following everything about Waldorf. Thanks for this review and the just cool video!
Well done for holding it down whilst playing those spaced out pads. I would have totally zoned out there. It would have been “Four hours later” and I’m still on the same chord dribbling down myself. 🤤🤪 Well done, sir. 👏
This is actually quite a beautiful little synth. I simply LOVE the sound of string synths, and while some may argue that this doesn't sound as good as the old gear, the old gear tends to break as soon as you look at it, not to mention the prices that are being asked.
@@ДмитрийКужеев Indeed. People get too hung up on what's "real". When Vince Clark says that he prefers CV and gate over MIDI because he can hear the timing difference, I believe him because he's Vince Clark. But when somebody you've never heard of claims that you cannot make real acid/trance/whatever without a TB-303, I tend to take that with a grain of salt. Like anybody is going to notice when you're in a club. And yes, like you say, the STVC is just a beautiful instrument.
I think it would be cool if every time you get a new keyboard, the company should send you 2, and you give away one of them to one of your subscribers.
@[redacted] IKR, they are great keyboards, but not affordable for most people. I got a m-audio oxygen a few months ago and had to make payments on it. Everything I buy I have to do payments on. I wish I could get Moog to send me a rack of stuff for free, I want to get into modular stuff....
@@LilHoss maybe save some cash and look on Facebook marketplace? 😃 That's how i got my synth, my sampler, and everything else for very cheap!! i can't afford expensive things either, but patience and extensive browsing got me extremely good deals!!
Hey man I just want to take the time and tell you how much I appreciate your videos. You have to be my all time favorite RU-vidr. I came across one of your videos on mixing techniques and I was hooked and I can say I've watched all of your videos and not once was I ever disappointed. I'm new in electronic music not do I own a keyboard. I use my phone but it's honestly ok because of the knowledge and inspiration you give me. I use caustic and fl studio mobile which I thought was very limited. I have recently learned with your techniques and inspiration it's opened up so many doors for me using my phone to make music. I want to thank you so much but all I have is my words of appreciation and wish I could do more. Thank you so much for your awesome upbeat attitude and I'm proud to say I'm a huge fan and can't wait for any new content you release. Again I wanna give you a Texas size thank you. Yes I'm from Texas. Anyway thanks again!!!
From the very first notes..........I felt really emotional......yes I have to admit it. It evoked memories of Tangerine Dream and then Jarre. Stevie Wonder appeared to have a sore throat coming on but who could deny it's power over us. Well done Waldorf......and thank you Dr Mix for sharing this. 👍
I have a Streichfett for at least 4-5 years, and only today did I made the connection between the registration knob and navigating through a wavetable. This is why I like your reviews so much: it is all about the knowledge and feeling about the synth. Very nice demo!
I bought me one recently, mainly for the vocoder. I can't compare it with the Behringer, but I don't regret my choice. A bit more versatile than the Behringer I think. Awesome sound. At first I thought it had only a few possible vocoder sounds. But with the modulation matrix and de line input, it can create so many different sounds. I play it with my Korg Prologue through the line input now, and using an external mic instead of the gooseneck. Limitless fun :D
1:55 You say 'ooohh'. You ain't kidding! Then you go from 'broken' at 6:33 to full-spectrum swirling washes mere seconds later. It's a Waldorf. Great demo.
Wow, that sounds so much 1970s and 1980s German electronic music style. Klaus Schulze, early Tangerine Dream or Ashra's "Ocean of Tenderness" spring to mind.Wonderful how they can emulate this analogue sounds digitally.
I was surprised. From online reviews I’ve read I was expecting this to sound terrible. I am a huge vintage string machine fan. This sounds great! I’d love to own one now after seeing this video.
As a German, I naturally feel compelled to say "Waldorf" should be pronounced as "Vaal-dorf". Even so, a great review of a fantastic keyboard. I will buy one soon! I am a huge fan of Waldorf, and I love the quality of construction and obviously the sounds! Love from a Hannoverian composer, living in the beautiful Norfolk Broads in the east of England (for now, anyway).
If you don't have one, you want one. If you have one, after a while you don't play it as often as you expected, right? Wrong! This device has enough reasons to pick it up again and again. I love Waldorf since Tangerine Dream started using the PPG Wave. This is a different ballgame, learning to use a vocoder effectively will take some practice time though. For sure e this is not a one trick pony, great for creating ambient tracks or even monophonic solos! Wow! I love the fx section, so much different and unique sounds! It seems a very easy and intuitive machine to operate.
Hello Dr. Mix. Nice to see your new studio. Seems to be a bigger Version of the Waldorf Streichfett with Vocoder and more effects and options.The Keys and case seems to be the same heavy quality like the Blofeld (I like to use this synth self very much since i own one). If someone is interrested for string plugin than check out the virtual string machine from Gforce Software.
Claudio what the heck, you don't have enough space in your new studio for all your old stuff and yet, you get a new synthesizer! lol crazy would be cool if you explored the vocoder a little more. :)
Love your music absolutely fab if you had an album just of your instrumentals it would be cool so beautiful. And it’s nice to see your enjoying your new studio love your new synth you perform on it beautifully. Its a fab synth. I’m impressed with the different sounds as well. Best wishes.
I have the streichfett module version of this thanks to 5 easy payments on Amazon prime. lol, So great gear can be affordable to any budget. Anyhoo It's Fun and really lives upto it's name in translation ( Fat Butter/Strings) It really is a magic box of sound. esp the Ensembles. sometimes feels like playing a cathedral. Nice to see you settling into new studio, even if you have finishing work still going. Thanks for the music.
Another great demo of the product. These synth manufacturers must be pleased with your ability to instantly showcase features without a huge learning curve. I know it’s an older synth but have you reviewed the Roland JD Xi? Thanks for the good stuff!😀
Please play some more Waldorf STVC chill. It's fantastic with the wammy sounds and strings, its really something. Music is a link to the Universe. You Remind me of the Great Paul Hardcastle. Max Respect.
Claudio, you must be a mind reader. I was thinking about "I Just Called to Say I Love You" and thinking it would be cool if you played it and then a minute later, you did! :D
I was always wondering who the people who dislike videos are until I noticed I'd disliked a video myself by accident on my mobile phone's RU-vid app. I'm sure most of these are by accident. It's way easier to misclick on a touch screen than with a mouse.
Nice Dr. Analog :) What a beautiful simple looking Waldorf. Nice synth. Unfortunately a bit expensive. Still playing around with VST then. Take it easy (Calaudio) I wonder how the studio sounds to you. Peace to all :)
@@TreyVaswal - there used to be a radio show in Finland, called ”Avaruusromua” (Space debris). They played alternative music, typically space synth type, weird sound scapes. Maybe Markus, the composer of that famous mod, also listened to the same show I used to listen to while in high school. The mod was released next year the show started. It ran until June 2020 until the host retired.
Agreed but I think practicality had to win out so as to grow the channel. For me to produce and write I need Windows. Hence the loft I will work in this weekend, lovely views of Sheffield and the hills 👍🏼
3:10 completely TangerineDream sound !! Not sure which album it's closest, maybe Rubycon, or Phaedra, perhaps also Atmosfear ? Claudio what do you think about the term 'Krautrock' and the category, (it does not sounds very bad to me as a word in my native tongue) is there a german sound ? In my opinion, honestly humble, it's possible german musicians were especially good to catch special spirits with electronic. I still like NEU! , listened a lot Klaus Schulze hypnotic 'Timewind' and the great sort of trans 'Bodylove' (1). maybe too much melancholy (or kind of) I cannot afford feeling now older 😐😊.. (Too old to rock n roll !?) Sure there is still many treasures to dig among the big production of all this german musicians, and in fact quite a lot of diversity, also sunny pieces (by the way later TangerineDream production) ! And maybe pionneers of punk too : 'Super' by NEU! :) Ambiant pieces by Neu! are absolutely not rusty. Maybe you could make a sery of videos about it, about different electronic categories, meaningful or not. (Honestly Waldorf is not first choice for salsa is it ?)
man, love your videos... ( love your English - for no natives you sound crystal clear ) Nevertheless , I am here to ask you to unbox and put your talented hands on a ....... QUANTUM Waldorf...(ohhhhhh )
