At least with no demo it will be much easier to resist buying it. Looks like I will be demoing Synth Squad if that ever comes out.

All sounds from Largo. No additional processing except a little compression
on the drums.

Just for fun, as always
Excellent example. Why isn't this one of the official demo mp3's on Waldorf's site? It's more interesting than the ones they currently have.

Because I made it yesterday

Is it verified that Largo will sound 100% the same as the Blofeld?

If so, I won't need a demo. And most people can just try the Blo out at the store, right?

I think it is verified that Largo will have, "the waldorf sound." I don't think that means, Largo is a Blofeld clone, by any standing.

If so, I won't need a demo.

My personal feeling is:

A) If you know the Waldorf sound, and you know you love it. You don't really need a demo.

B) A demo would be nice, just to check out bugs, compatibility, etc. After all, "it is computer soft."

And most people can just try the Blo out at the store, right?

I don't know if you have a guitarcenter in your neck of the woods, but I can fathom a guess that, guitarcenter has a computer in the pro audio dept, set up with largo and midi controller.

I'm going this weekend to check that out myself, btw.

You may want to wait a week, or at least call them to make sure they have a demo available. From the GC website:

Due 6/15/2009

How could any company be so heartless as to deny Krakatau a demo version? He is clearly traumatised. Poor guy.

No but from the demos it does sound very similar. It has some things the blofeld doesn't have so could potentially sound better. Anyway aside from sounds there is also the question of cpu use. It could be an absolute monster or be the most cpu efficient vsti on the planet but there is no way to know without trying it out on your system. Even if you can demo it in a store you won't know how well or even if it will work on your system when you get home.

Slipped my mind. Great point. No demo? Yep, that is a tough sell.

Exactly the same here - unfortunately - because I do like Waldorf the company (no idea why).
@Brok: Let me know if and when you're in FFM, OK?

Igro · Post by **Igro** » Fri Jun 12, 2009 7:44 pm

Ok. Maybe someone explain to me what is WALDORF sound?

Largo is here!
