Still on the fence about it, as the first version never really stuck. For $24 though...

Where'd you get the option for USD? I only see Euro.

I ended up relenting to the "Black Weeks" sale. Was ~$27 US for the upgrade. There is a review on SynthAnatomy -> https://synthanatomy.com/2023/10/waldor ... eover.html

Aside from the GUI, theyve added three formant filter types .. you can morph thru via cutoff knob. That's something new

Along with native support for Apple Silicon, which I needed.. Im not comparing it to a modern wavetable synth though. It's got a handful of usable (for my tastes) timbres.. so I grabbed it. It was worth the price of cheap dinner for me.

At this point, it’s sort of like a “vintage plugin,” even with the new facelift. If you’re going to compare it to modern wavetable synths, you might not like the more lo-fi sound, but I personally have always liked it. That said, I don’t really feel like giving them a dime for this update. Other companies give updates like this away for free to paying customers. Most other developers would consider this a .5 update at best.

Well that's annoying, so all DAW projects would have to be manually updated to the newer version...

Yeah, that's the downside with it, I guess.

They should've implemented VST3 plugin migration

Do you mean Largo 2, or Waldorf in general? Because Largo 2 is vst3.

Drives me crazy when devs do that. Applied Acoustics does it every damn time and I have to manually replace dozens of channels/tracks.

But why do you need to update the old projects if they are using the old one? Just keep the old one and install the new one beside it.
For the current project I don't think it is so annoying to replace the old one with the new one! How many tracks do you have that use the old one in the current project?
