NAMM: Winter NAMM 2010: Waldorf

I had an enjoyable talk with Stefan Stenzel.

I posted this in the comments, but thought I'd put it up here as well: I didn't ask when it would be available. I was more curious what led them to the Zarenbourg. Stefan said they wanted to do something new and there was just something about the immediacy of the interface. It is real and it is coming. The unit wasn't producing sound and some of the knobs were not working but you could get a feel for it. The effect lights have two levels of luminosity, dim if active and bright if selected. You can have any combination of the effects.

We also talked a little about previous Waldorf synths and Largo. I told him I'd love Largo on the upcoming Apple slate. :) We'll see...

  1. Wow, the Waldorf booth looks very classy! I want wall paper like that in my studio :-D

    Did they give any details about the Zarenbourg? Price? ETA? Is the "tube" option an actual tube, or is it part of their digital model?

  3. Very cool, thanks! This would make an awesome home piano if they can get the cost down to $2000 or less :-D
