Waldorf Largo 2

.... Aside from the formant filter, it is exactly the same synth.....

Not true.
Largo 2 can't do release velocity as a mod source, while V1 can.
It's the reason I didn't update.

It's definitely there.

Have you tried to use it?
It may show, but when I tried the demo, it didn't work, and other people here verified that.
Can't try the demo again to see if they ever fixed it. I doubt it though.

If I put on the pitch, there is modulation.

To be honest, I've never used it in one of my patches. So, if you have a specific use case in mind, let me know and I can test it.

And how can it be "sent" as MIDI information? Is it an MPE parameter?

I would really like Waldorf's software division to excel! But until I get these going on a really (rilly, rilly!) modern machine, I won't comment. The last time I tried Nave it was just plain "clunky". Dunno, kinda inefficient. I lost interest in trying it again, and I luv synthesizers. Sure, it sounded lush, but still...

Okay, I compared it to Largo 1, there is a difference.

But something I don't understand, if this is important to you, why you don't report it to Waldorf as a bug? Instead of complaining here "it's not the same synth". Do you enjoy wasting other people's time? Not with me.

It seems in latest version release velocity does work, but there's a bug where the last value is remembered when it shouldn't be, so if you try playing back from before a note event is hit, that note will start with the wrong pitch (if you modulated pitch with release velocity).

I did report it to them, of course.
As well as asking them if they could add it to more of their current hardware.

any time i’ve reported a bug to waldorf they reply with “we’ve sent this on to the developer”. aren’t they the developer or are they farming all this out to someone else?

The support person answering you is most often not the developer.

yeah i know.. but the phrasing always strikes me as weird and they’re the only company who’s ever answered me in that way. everyone else has some variation of “we’re working on it/we’re aware/thanks for reporting the issue we’ll see if we can recreate it”

chalk it up to cultural differences i guess.

or maybe the support people are the ones who are farmed out and just taking messages and passing them along.
