Is that one of these?



Edit: sure original picture link was working yesterday. Anyway, new link.

Edit 2: Pah. That one's blocked too. Trying to do this on my phone so giving up for now.

Seems like vintagesynth.com doesn't like to see their pictures on other sites. Yes, it's a KORG Mono/Poly! One of those famous synths that I always wanted to try one day, but are way out of reach financially. Well - in the normal case it had been!

Nice

Have you seen this? Waldorf's new string machine... http://www.waldorf-music.info/streichfett-overview

[Pepe]

Yeah, but I don't like those small desktop units. Hey, I have a Trident!

[nathanscribe]

True fact.

Seems like you can spare the money that you possibly planned to invest in the Waldorf Streichfett. A user at sequencer.de who uses lots of vintage synths and string machines (Logan, Crumar, Solina, Roland, ...) says:

"Tested it extensively at the MusikMesse today. To me it rather sounds like a [KORG] Wavestation than like a string machine. Very sad, because my expectations were very high."

and

"The biggest disappointment for me was the Waldorf Streichfett (and I'm a big Waldorf fan). Sorry, but my old AN1x has more convincing strings and sounds inside. You don't get the stardust of those old string machines with this one. Bummer!"
