STVC
String synthesizer with Vocoder
The Waldorf STVC is a beautifully engineered string synthesizer with a built-in vocoder. Building on their popular Streichfett formula, it offers everything from smooth pads to abrasive chordal textures, ‘80s synthwave to apocalyptic soundscapes. The addition of the vocoder, along with a 49-key aftertouch keybed, makes this a wholly performable synthesizer with huge digital flexibility.
Features:
- Fully polyphonic synth with a world of classic synth strings and more
- Smooth-playing, velocity-sensitive, aftertouch-enabled 49-note keybed
- Vocoder function features outstanding speech intelligibility, freeze mode, fully polyphonic carrier, and gender modification
- Blend between two sound engines to create anything from edgy solo voices to rich ensembles
- The Strings section lets you create wide and full string section sounds
- The Solo section lets you add a separate lead or bass sound to the mix in a layer or split
- Enhance your sound with one of three cool onboard effects (in addition to tremolo on the Solo voice)
- Save your favorite sounds in 12 memory slots
- USB and MIDI connectivity provides ample integration options
