Many producers and synthesizer
enthusiasts asked for a full-blown Waldorf
Synthesizer for their virtual rack. We listened, and
now we proudly present Largo. Largo is the first
pure software synthesizer with Waldorf DNA. And
again – it is the cutting edge sound that makes the
big difference.
No wonder, as Largo mirrors the
technology used in Blofeld and Q hardware
synthesizers. As for every Waldorf instrument,
ergonomics are a core feature on screen as well.
Your eyes will be pleased with a clearly structured,
graphical user interface that supports your workflow
intuitively.
Largo offers three fat oscillators,
two of them with sub oscillators. These oscillators
include models of classic analog waveforms as well
as a selection of waves from the PPG and Waldorf
Wave stored in two Wavetables. All these run through
two Waldorf multimode filters with steep cutoff,
resonance up to self-oscillation and a drive stage
to add even more punch and grainyness to the sound.
Ultra-fast envelope generators and flexible LFOs as
well as an easy to understand, yet extremely
versatile modulation matrix make for a sound
designer's dream.
The filters have always been a core
part of any Waldorf instrument. With outstanding
expertise in both analog and digital synthesis, our
developers took utmost care in developing the
filters. And you can hear a significant difference
when working with a Waldorf filter - they just sound
right! Use the comb filters for plucked, stringed or
blown sounds. Band pass, high pass, low pass and
notch filters are all available with 12 dB and 24 dB
slope. All of them sound extremely accurate and add
pure sonic quality to the sound of your music.
Largo contains a flexible
arpeggiator with 16 freely programmable steps as
known from the exclusive Q synthesizer line plus an
array of high quality effects such as Chorus,
Flanger, Phaser, Overdrive, Delay and Reverb.
The clearly arranged user interface
helps you to create your own powerful synthesizer
sounds in a breeze. Oscillators and filters are
always in direct access while the submodules are
only a mouse click away. It has the same exclusive
voice architecture as the Q and Blofeld synthesizer
line, fully integrated into the total recall system
of your Digital Audio Workstation.
Largo works as a VST and AudioUnit
instrument.
