Waldorf vs Access namm 2007
 

Waldorf seems to have made a step forward as a company. Several new syns were presented in NAMM 2007 including a reissue of the Q and Q+ and a brand new synthesizer called the stromberg.

I'm curious to see how Waldorf Competes with Access this year. The heavy prices of the Waldorf synths alone deter me from perchasing one.

Stromberg looks interesting, but seems a bit workstationy rather than synth from a hands on perpective - ie needs more knobbage.

Cool thing about it is it will effectively include all past Waldorf synths, so if you have wanted an XT and a Q+ - them a strom will give yyou both along with patch compatibility - nice :)

Ive allways liked waldorf synths, but somehow never quite enough to part with readies and buy one...

Ive been wanting to get a Waldorf synth to go with my virus.
Not sure which one, Possibly a micro Q.

Anyone here own or owed a Waldorf Synth?
Any advice or opinions would be great

why don't you try terratec komplexer, which is a very good emulation of the microQ. It's worth every penny !

Thanks i'll check that out :)

I have the Q meng. I love it. Adds a different texture and has some nice ambient sounds. Its more on the trancy side but it compliments the Virus Ti perfectly.

only bad thing about it is the output level is really low.

Other than that...Great Synth

Cool
It sounds good. that vst looks good but i think i'd rather pay money for a real piece of gear

Trancy is good. i like trance
