许多制作人和合成器爱好者要求为他们的虚拟机架提供一个成熟的 Waldorf 合成器。 我们倾听了，现在我们自豪地介绍 Largo。 Largo 是第一个带有 Waldorf DNA 的纯软件合成器。 再说一遍——尖端的声音带来了巨大的不同。
难怪，因为 Largo 反映了 Blofeld 和 Q 硬件合成器中使用的技术。 对于每台华德福仪器来说，人体工程学也是屏幕上的核心特征。 您的眼睛会对结构清晰的图形用户界面感到满意，该界面直观地支持您的工作流程。
Largo 提供三种胖振荡器，其中两种带有子振荡器。 这些振荡器包括经典模拟波形模型以及存储在两个波表中的 PPG 和 Waldorf Wave 中的精选波形。 所有这些都通过两个华尔道夫多模滤波器运行，具有陡峭的截止、共振直至自振荡和驱动级，为声音增添更多的冲击力和颗粒感。 超快的包络发生器和灵活的 LFO 以及易于理解且用途极其广泛的调制矩阵实现了声音设计师的梦想。
1.5版本新功能
根据大众的需求，我们为每个振荡器添加了三个附加参数，以便更好地控制它们的行为
顾名思义，Startphase 控制振荡器启动的相位。 将其设置为 90° 左右以获得尖锐的起音，将所有振荡器设置为相同的值以使它们同步启动，或者让振荡器像在真实模拟合成器中一样自由运行。
Brilliance 根据所使用的振荡器模型控制不同的方面。 在脉冲波形和锯齿波形上，它控制电容器放电脉冲的混合，有效地产生具有更强高次谐波的波形。 通过波表，它可以控制从完美插值到步进的插值平滑度。 这些步骤会产生额外的谐波，尤其是在较低的键盘范围内，就像它们发生在老式 PPG Wave 和 Waldorf Microwave and Wave 中一样。
最后但并非最不重要的一点是，“限制”参数控制在大多数波表末尾找到的“模拟”波形是否包含在波形调制中，或者是否将其排除在外。 这有助于创建波表扫描，而无需始终注意不要意外碰到那些扫描。
琶音器现在具有与 Lagos 著名祖先 Waldorf Q、Micro Q 和 Blofeld 相同的功能。 它为每个步骤提供了各种步骤类型，包括和弦和随机等花哨的类型。 这意味着您不限于拥有琶音器或和弦重复器，您可以同时拥有两者，具体取决于琶音器当前正在演奏的步骤。 现在，它为您的经典 Bassline 模拟提供了每步单独的 Glide。
只要看一下图片，您就会发现该模式以不同的重音和长度演奏八个步骤，并且在最底行您会看到不同的符号。 实心圆圈表示正常演奏的步骤，向下箭头告诉琶音器演奏其列表中的第一个音符，两个音符符号会产生由所有当前保持的音符组成的和弦。
拉各斯新合唱团有三种口味。 您已经从早期版本中了解到了具有两个阶段的版本，现在还具有四个和六个阶段来创建丰富的打击垫和琴弦。 Spread 控制四个附加阶段的行为，当设置为零时，所有六个阶段与固定偏移同步运行，从而创建旧弦乐机器的合奏效果。 当设置较高时，调制会越来越去相关，使合唱变得更厚更宽。 但我们并没有就此止步。 我们还添加了反馈以使合唱效果更加浓厚。 加上相当长的延迟时间，您现在可以滥用 Chorus 作为附加梳状滤波器（就好像 Largo 还没有足够的梳状滤波器一样）。
我们不会就此止步。 同样根据大众的需求，我们在第一个效果槽中添加了延迟和混响的选择。 因此，您现在可以同时创建带有延迟和混响的声音。 或者使用两个混响，一个设置为小房间，另一个设置为大大厅。
Largo V1.5 带有近 500 种新声音。 加上 Largo 早期版本附带的声音，总共有 700 多种声音（到目前为止我们已统计到 733 种）。 许多新声音都利用了 Largo 的新功能。 因此，请休息一天，仔细聆听我们随此更新发布的精彩库。
Many producers and synthesizer enthusiasts asked for a full-blown Waldorf Synthesizer for their virtual rack. We listened, and now we proudly present Largo. Largo is the first pure software synthesizer with Waldorf DNA. And again – it is the cutting edge sound that makes the big difference.
No wonder, as Largo mirrors the technology used in Blofeld and Q hardware synthesizers. As for every Waldorf instrument, ergonomics are a core feature on screen as well. Your eyes will be pleased with a clearly structured, graphical user interface that supports your workflow intuitively.
Largo offers three fat oscillators, two of them with sub oscillators. These oscillators include models of classic analog waveforms as well as a selection of waves from the PPG and Waldorf Wave stored in two Wavetables. All these run through two Waldorf multimode filters with steep cutoff, resonance up to self-oscillation and a drive stage to add even more punch and grainyness to the sound. Ultra-fast envelope generators and flexible LFOs as well as an easy to understand, yet extremely versatile modulation matrix make for a sound designer’s dream.
New in Version 1.5
By popular demand, we have added three additional parameters per Oscillator to allow finer control over their behaviour
Startphase controls, as the name suggests, the phase with which the Oscillator starts. Set it to around 90° for a sharp attack, set all Oscillators to the same value to have them start in sync, or let the Oscillators run freely as they do in real analog synthesizers.
Brilliance controls different aspects depending on the Oscillator model used. On the Pulse and the Sawtooth waveform, it controls the mix of the discharge impulse of the capacitor, effectively resulting in a waveform with stronger high harmonics. With Wavetables, it controls their interpolation smoothness from perfect interpolation to steps. Those steps create additional harmonics especially in the lower keyboard ranges as they happened in the good old PPG Wave and the Waldorf Microwave and Wave.
Last but not least, the Limit parameter controls if the “analog” waveforms found at the end of most Wavetables are included into Wave Modulations or if they are left out. This helps creating wavetable scans without always keeping an eye of not hitting those accidentally.
The Arpeggiator now has the same power as the one found in Largos famous ancestors, the Waldorf Q, Micro Q and Blofeld. It offers various step types per step including fancy ones like Chord and Random. This means that you are not limited to either have an arpeggio or a chord repeater, you can have both depending on the step the arpeggiator is currently playing. And it now offers a separate Glide per step for your classic Bassline simulations.
Just look at the picture and you see that this pattern plays eight steps with different accents and lengths, and that in the bottommost row you see different symbols. Filled circles denote normally played steps, downward arrows tell the Arpeggiator to play the first note in its list, and the two-note-symbol results in a chord consisting of all currently held notes.
Largos new Chorus comes in three flavours. The one with two stages you already know from earlier versions, and now also with four and six stages to create lush pads and strings. Spread controls the behaviour of the four additional stages, when set to zero, all six stages run in sync with a fix offset creating the ensemble effect of old string machines. When set higher, the modulation is increasingly decorrelated to make the Chorus thicker and wider. But we didn’t stop here. We’ve also added Feedback to make the Chorus effect even thicker. And together with the quite long delay time, you can now abuse the Chorus as an additional Comb filter (as if the Largo hadn’t enough of them already).
We are not stopping here. Also by popular demand, we added the selection of Delay and Reverb to the first effect slot. So, you can now create sounds with a Delay and Reverb at once. Or use two Reverbs, one set to a small room and the other to a large hall.
Largo V1.5 comes with almost 500 new sounds. Together with the sounds shipping with earlier versions of Largo, this sums up to a total of more than 700 sounds (we have counted 733 so far). A lot of these new sounds take use of the new features of Largo. So, take a day off and carefully listen to the great library we ship with this update.
Browse
The most prominent feature of Largo V1.5 is its powerful Browse page. It is divided in two parts. On the left is a File Browser showing the files and folders of your sound libraries on your hard disk, on the right is a table showing the content of the currently loaded bank.
You can drag and drop sounds between the File Browser and the Program Manager for loading and saving, rearrange sounds on disk or in the current bank, copy and paste, and much more.
You can also drag and drop sounds from the file manager of your operating system (Windows Explorer or Macintosh Finder), or copy and paste selected sounds as a plain text list to a text editor for administrative work.
Search for sounds in the File Browser or Program Manager by typing in part of the name or category and let Largo find the stuff for you. In the File Browser, the search result is presented as a list while in the Program Manager the matching sound are highlighted and the non-matching ones are darkened.
