Streichfett string synth - first tests with Sequetron
Published on Jan 10, 2016 Phil Tipping
"New toy from Santa (aka Liz) so first dabbles with Waldorf streichfett string synthesizer driven by Sequetron with a Korg microKORG as a MIDI source. Streichfett can be configured to split strings & solo sections across 2 adjacent MIDI channels so Sequetron channel switching used to record/loop/play each section as reqd.
This is not an in-depth demo of streichfett, but very impressed with limited use so far - both sections can play chords so no note-stealing when sequencing. Simple but clever user interface - no menus :) - with morphing controls encouraging you to twiddle; sounds are richer and have more bass than expected. Headphones or good speakers recommended, although my YouTube playback doesn't do it justice for some reason - maybe my low-res download speed?
MicroKORG only used as a MIDI keyboard, so tried a simple ledge resting across it to hold the screen & streichfett. Not very ergonomic unless you leant over it, so made a sloping version for later shots.
