It is... right there. On the right. The one that says "Volume".

Even though I'm not sure whether you're shitting me or not.

Waldorf's synths are usually THE Ambient/Spacebient machines. They even marketed them once like that. I remember a picture of a exhibition booth with a slogan like "Dedicated to space music", or something similar. And, as a user, I can totally relate to that.

That doesn't mean you can't use them for anything else, of course. But, I wouldn't really say they lend themselves especially to Techno. Not at all.

For someone who doesn’t know much about techno or Waldorf synths it sounds like it is good for techno

But I’m sure you can use it for anything.

You are kidding right? If so I'm will eat my hat while being as red as tomato.
Firing it up again to check. I even Googled it and sure enough, in this very thread, it was mentioned there isn't one.

EDIT: Holy sh!t there is one. It's embedded into the Pan knob

Thanks

I'm sure it works fine for Techno as well.

I was just a bit surprised to hear it being associated with Techno. But then, I'm sure those guys use about everything.

No worries.

I'm sure it's covered in the manual though (which is really good BTW).

25 dollars is a real bargain, thanks waltercruz for the heads-up on the coupon!

I have a bunch of synths (the u-he and korg stuff) and this sounds really unique. The Gui could use an update though. I also pretty much like the presets, the sound designers banks offer some fantastic patches!

When I hear Bodzin I think analogue synths like the Mini Moog and Sub Phatty. I dont see where Largo fits. I think older techno used primarily Roland x0x boxes.

I was listening to a lot of melodic techno lately but i have to admit i don't know much about the household names in techno or the gear they are using. But i remember i heard some kind of stabs/chords/textures which i would attribute to ald digital hardware rather than analog monos.

Maybe Bodzin was indeed a wrong name to pick.

-Downloaded demo.
-Did one patch.
-Bought.

Easy decision. A very rewarding synth to program with good filters. Thanks for posting the deal.

If you want extra volume and have an LFO to spare, you can set an lfo in step mode with only one step (constant) and to modulate the output volume.

Now I'm going to read the manual to see what the operators are about.

Certainly needs a GUI update, but still has a great sound of it's own. No brainer.

What is that kind of sound called (jump to 2:00)? I really don't like that kind of sounds. And many of the demos sounds like that. I call it euro techno-ish, because I'm ignorant. It reminds me of when i was a kid at the school disco standing in the corner dorky and shy. Traumatic shit... haha
