Komplexer

The successor of this great synth is Waldorf's Largo.

People should be aware this was made after Walforf XT (1998) and Waldorf Q (1999) which were both 100% software, and also coded by Stefan Stenzel. Although Komplexer is the acknowledged predecessor to Largo, there are some things to know. Largo cannot import wavetables nor MicroQ patches. Komplexer can. Largo has modeled oscillators (vs. wave playback). It is plainly stated that Waldorf Q modeled the Pulse's hardware oscillators. Also, a brilliance setting of 63 (half) in Largo will give a Q signature. There are many ways to make Largo shrill, metallic, and brash. Like anything else, the price you pay for having more options is more responsibility. Don't let it "play you". Largo get's a bad rap I think sometimes, because people just call up presets.
