Click here for a Google translated interview of Joachim Flor of Waldorf. Replace "Whale Village" with "Waldorf" when you get there. : ) Here's a link to the original in German. This one sent my way via Dr. Georg Müller.
"AMAZONA.de:What might we expect from the new Waldorf?
JOACHIM FLOR:
Of course there will be new Waldorf products... the future developments will be characterised by innovation, unmistakable sound, optimal ergonomics, excellent design, user friendliness and all that the name Waldorf stood for, stands and will continue to stand. But we'll let you be surprised. Our first goal is the winters NAMM 2007 in Anaheim!"
I can't wait. Something tells me Winter NAMM 2007 will be the most hyped NAMM in a long, long time. : ) Thanks for sending this one in Georg!
Update via Mr. Array in the comments:
"Wheee!
Here is another message, this time from Stefan Stenzel where he more or less confirms that there will be paid OS updates for legacy Waldorf products:
http://lists.waldorf.synth.net/pipermail/user-forum/2006-April/004774.html"
"Since we are not a legal successor of the preceeding waldorf companies,
we cannot provide further upgrades for free. However, rest assured that
the price we will charge for future upgrades will be reasonable."
Wheee!

There is one thing that has me seriously wondering about the reintroduction of their classic lineup.
ReplyDeleteAre the old Waldorf designs compliant with new German/EU environmental regulations? I'd be extremely surprised if they didn't require slight modifications to remove parts that contain lead. And if the synths aren't compliant, they can't be sold in Germany starting this summer.
am i missing something? winter NAMM 2007 is the next one, winter namm 2006 already happened...in January... confused. There's Summer NAMM...but that's in the summer.
ReplyDeleteNope. I was clearly missing something. I read a post on Moogulator after this which mentioned it would be announced Winter NAMM 2006. I then thought, hmm... Winter NAMM is coming in 2006, so 2007 is far off, but you are right the next Winter NAMM is 2007.
