Members electrik force Posted June 23, 2007 Members Share Posted June 23, 2007 Anyone thinking of getting the waldorf stromberg? I'm thinking about? Do you think it will be worth the wait that its coming in fall? I heard the price is going to be around $4500. Looks beautiful........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members electrik force Posted June 23, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 23, 2007 I think it is worth the wait. ...if it gets here. Well lets hope it does or else I'd be seriously pissed off. It should though because waldorf has a US distributer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members donaldcrunk Posted June 23, 2007 Members Share Posted June 23, 2007 distro isn't the problem, the problem is the company actually staying in business long enough to get this thing out there - they should've had the Blofeld out a few months back, that would've given them a nice jumpstart.

Members Qwave Posted June 23, 2007 Members Share Posted June 23, 2007 You could not provide us an even bigger picture Yes, I think it is worth the wait. But I do not expect to see it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MartinHines Posted June 23, 2007 Members Share Posted June 23, 2007 How about posting a smaller picture? I would suggest using Image Shack with "Resize Image" checked, set to the "640x480 (for message boards)" option. http://www.imageshack.us/ Like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members asynchro_nous Posted June 23, 2007 Members Share Posted June 23, 2007 And it's Solaris by several lengths for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pighood Posted June 23, 2007 Members Share Posted June 23, 2007 It's unlikely I'd find the Stromberg compelling. Everyone and their Aunt Jeffrey knows how I feels about my Q The Strom would have to be its replacement at this point, and NI's Massive is more than satisfying my wavetable cravings. The Solaris is, as they say, a squirrel of an entirely different license plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Duane Bradley Posted June 23, 2007 Members Share Posted June 23, 2007 Assuming both reach production, they are both companies with great pedigrees. I find it somewhat silly and useless to compare at this point...Personally, I lean towards the Waldorf, but that's just based on my long history with their products, my familiarity with their interfaces, and the fact that they have a new high end synth coming out excites me more at this point. But I may wind up with both or either, who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its modular and the stromberg isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pix Posted June 24, 2007 Members Share Posted June 24, 2007 I'd definitely wait and at least read their manuals first to see how they work. One thing in favor of the waldorf is its interface. Waldorf interfaces are extremely logic and make programming a breeze. If the sound of the Q would be more of my taste (like the original microwave for example), it'd probably be the best synth ever for me. Programming it just flows. On the other hand modular systems need to have a very well thought out interface, otherwise they'll become boring after a while (i think this happens a bit with the spectralis for example. A simple analog monosynth would have made the box a bit more attractive maybe (not necessarily better). So yeah, my main doubt at this point is how the solaris will be in terms of functionality and ease of use. I know the waldorf will be a delight for sure, and this factor is becoming more and more important for me. It's either fun or I won't even bother anymore.

Members Tony Scharf Posted June 26, 2007 Members Share Posted June 26, 2007 i will buy neither, nor lust after either , until they are real concrete products I can go down to the corner shop and actually play. till then, they are both little more than photon patterns tickling my retinas.

Members Ryan Freer Posted August 8, 2008 Members Share Posted August 8, 2008 If Waldorf can release the Stromberg by the end of 2008, it'll certainly have been worth the wait. After all, perfection generally requires quite a bit of time. Anyone still wondering what this synth is going to be capable of needs to check it out on Waldorf's site: http://www.waldorfmusic.de/en/products/stromberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
