amazing feature update.. http://www.sequencer.de/syns/access/VirusTI_Polar.html
Arturia Origin http://www.sequencer.de/syns/arturia/Origin.html
- Sharc based DSP Synth with all VA Synth in it that you know of (Moog Modular, CS80, Prophet V and the new Jupiter 8 emulation..)
- Knob interface / big display
Dual Manual Organ.. so no synths..
- Stromberg Synth - http://www.sequencer.de/syns/waldorf/Stromberg.html
- quite Q structure but with analog filters (attached to the rear: per voice / valves .. ) but it reads all formats of all previous Waldorf products + has Wavetables (lots) plus Physical Modeling (!)
and watch this for info: http://www.sequencer.de/blog/?p=1554 I hope this guy doesn't mean the comb filters with impulse trigger is meant to be "physcial modeling" and the wavetables with 2-4 ADSRs replaces the XT with its 8 level-rate envelopes.. but we'll see, he said COMPATIBLE / can read the sounds of it.. so.. - Blofeld (same in mini desktop, no midi out here ca $500, don't know if it's exactly the same) http://www.sequencer.de/syns/waldorf/Blofeld.html
DARAUS NOCH:
- Q will get new filter models!
- Hardware and basic software from Stromberg and Blofeld is different
Interview Stefan Stenzel: http://musotalk.de/archives/106
- Q series continued as phoenix (changed colour)
- E-Piano named Zarenbourg (big case, looks very 70s)
- Q will get new filter models! / Q bekommt mehr Filtermodelle
- Hardware and basic software from Stromberg and Blofeld is different /Der Blofeld ist defnitiv andere Hardware/Software
- Zarenbourg ist (fast) vollpolyphon - wurlitzer, rhodes (und CP70 in Planung), für den Möbelmarkt *g*
- Zarenbourg heißt er übrigens, weil das Axel Hartmann "so" einfiel, Q Serie ist limitiert. und definitiv kann der Stromberg auch Microwave abspielen (!!) yepp!! Gut! Stimmen erweitert max 100 (dyn) Stimmen.
