Arrived about an hour ago. Sounds really good! Not as sweet sounding as Sylenth but really punchy. Lots of state of the art presets too! Extremely beefy basses, cool and unusually complex sounding pads. Good implementation of Pitch and Mod controls too. More inspirational than I expected. Adds something different to my virtual synth setup, which is what I wanted!

There doesn't seem to be a MIDI Learn feature, though!

Maybe I haven't looked hard enough... Anyone else found it?

Looks like just 128. There's a Factory Presets folder with 128 of them and there are also a bunch of sound designer's folders but the presets in those are the same as the factory ones. If I find any more I'll let you know...

Have you tried looking inthe manual?

Of course! I emailed Waldorf and they told me: "The Largo parameters have fixed MIDI CCs. You can see the corresponding CC in the head-up display if you move with the mouse over a knob or slider. This makes it easy to setup your hardware controller to the desired CCs."

I thought there'd be more like a 1000 but in a way it's good as there will be more scope for sound banks.

@bungabatz, does it have a randomizer?

Yep, I'm sure. They're all good, original ones, though... I can see Waldorf have worked hard at them.

I agree. I actually don't like being bogged down by thousands of mediocre presets, so 128 good ones is fine by me!

There's no randomizer. Would have been a nice feature to have...

I think you'll find that half of them are duplicates reorganised into different folders. The preset management system is a little bit confusing...

Largo is here!
