Waldorf STVC – String Synthesizer and Vocoder

The Waldorf STVC String Synthesizer and Vocoder combines the sound engine of the Streichfett string synthesizer with a power vocoder to provide the highly coveted sounds of the ’70s and ’80s. Several enhancements have been added including an increase polyphony of 16 voices, an XLR microphone input, and a rugged Blofeld-style enclosure with the same 49-note, professional-quality, semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and aftertouch.

The sound engine features a fully polyphonic string section capable of continuous morphing of the string registration and includes several effects such as an animate effect for modulation, as well as an ensemble/chorus, phaser, reverb, and tremolo. The vocoder offers high-quality speech intelligibility with gender modification, a fully polyphonic carrier with jitter and noise injection, a freeze mode, and a continuous morphing of preset registrations.

The instrument features two 1/4″ outputs, an 1/8″ headphone output, pedal inputs for expression and sustain, and MIDI input/output via two standard 5-pin DIN connectors. The 1/4″ expression pedal jack also doubles as a line input. The Waldorf STVC is powered via USB and ships with an external USB power supply and a gooseneck microphone.
