Squee Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I don't want to be a negative nancy, but why not just record real strings? And why are there no videos or audio samples for this thing?

kcinsu Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Its not supposed to sound like real strings... It is emulating vintage string synthesizers that have a specific sound. And I think the official release/announcement isnt for a few more days, hence the lack of samples.

And why are there no videos or audio samples for this thing? Not a ton of people have access to string players? Something tells me, if you're buying a string synth, you don't have access to dedicated orchestra members and high quality recording equipment. It seems like a one-trick pony that can easily be accomplished by many other means, although I won't write it off until I hear it.

Guest AsylumSeaker Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Strings sound like strings. String synths sound like string synths. If you want the sound of strings, you hire a musician or learn to play violin. If you want the sound of a string synth, you get a string synth.

Guest Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 it's a multilayer wordplay... streicher = strings, but in german the word is derived from the act of moving the bow over the strings. to stroke, basically. fett = fat so it's fat strings. but: streichen = to spread, also. like, to spread butter on a piece of bread. and butter is a? fat. streichfett is a totally valid, yet stunted expression for anything which contains fat & which you would put on a bread by spreading. it could also be interpreted as an imperative... hey you! spread the fat! /germanlol Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/82561-new-waldorf-string-machine/#findComment-2139333 Share on other sites More sharing options...
