Other content of the Newsletter:
nw1 Wavetable Module for Eurorack
nw 1 frontnw1 is our debut product for the popular Eurorack format. It includes an advanced wavetable engine with independent control of spectral envelope and noisiness – just like Nave.
Wavetable scanning is cyclic with optional modulation of travel speed, position, spectrum and more. By providing the worshipped Waldorf wavetable set from the classic Microwave and Wave synthesizers, nw1 will enrich your Eurorack modular system as a potently powerful sound source.

Attack Drums for iOS
We have migrated our virtual drum and percussion synthesizers Attack to the iPad. Its impressive sound engine is cleverly complemented by an integrated 16-step sequencer that is as fun to use as it is useful.
Attack offers 24 instruments – each entirely programmable through a stunning, touch-optimized user interface. Its oscillators are fat, the filter flexible, and envelopes lightning fast.

Nave for VST/AU/AAX
The award-winning Nave has succeeded in changing perceptions of what a serious iOS instrument can be, thanks to unique sounds simply unachievable with any other synthesizer.
We have often been asked when Nave would be available on other platforms. This new Nave brings that notable Nave sound engine to your favourite DAW.

The Waldorf Edition 2
Tellingly, the classic Waldorf Edition has had a visual makeover, but its core values remain unchanged and unchallenged: the holy trinity of inspiring software instruments! Get your groove on with a slamming drum synth providing plenty of powerful percussion voices. Flex your sound-sculpting muscles with a real – and really assertive – Waldorf filter.
The new Waldorf Edition 2 version also brings an exceptionally expanded effects section (with Delay, Equalizer, Drive, Phaser, Flanger, Chorus, and Reverb)
Waldorf Edition 2 will be available 2nd quarter 2015 for 69 €. All owners of a Waldorf Edition will be able to update for 10 € only.

UPDATE (26.01.2015):
Musotalk.tv just published a Preview video of the Nave plugin Beta where Rolf Wöhrmann explains features of the upcoming plugin (this is in german ; length of the video around 32 minutes):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bmRQ3tRf_Y#t=31
Around 12:10 in the video the wavetable editor is shown wher you could edit partials in two dimensions (partials number + waveform number). The "Amount" fader/slider edits the 3rd dimension depending on the edit mode (e.g. "Level" of the partials).
FWIW i already asked for a few additional editing features. Let's see...
An exported custom wavetable should be compatible with the Plugin and iPad version and later also with teh nw1 Eurorack module.
In the video Rolf explains that the GUI in the final version should be resizable but this is not implemented yet in the current Beta.
In this video Rolf also mentions that the 24dB LPF is a Moog type and the 12db LPF a Oberheim type filter. This is also new for me.
Rolf also mentions that the CPU use is very low (i could confirm this) which also comes from the fact that the original synth was done for the iPad.
The plugin formats of the final version (like with the recent Waldorf updates for the older plugins) should include eveyrthing including 64-bit/32-bit, VST2, VST3, AU and AAX.
The Windows/OSX plugin includes al 500 patches of the iPAd version and as Rolf mentioned during the Beta maybe a few 100 new patches could be added.
The Spectrum control for the wavetable osc sections (also mentioned in the video around 11:00) could change the harmonic content of the existing wavetable quite dramatically so from a single wavetable or just from a single waveform in the table you could get a bunch of differnt sounds/timbres. That feature also seems to be included with the new nw1 Eurorack module.
Like also mentioned in the video the Copy protection like with e.g. Largo and PPG Wave 3.V is by eLicenser (either USB dongle or soft eLicenser).
