The wonderful new STVC from Waldorf, made in Germany!

Building on the classic octave dividing synthesis technique used in some historic string synths which Waldorf reintroduced for their popular Streichfett table top synth, the STVC gives you both the lead and polyphonic string voices from the Streichfett, but takes it to another level by mounting this in the solid and proven Blofeld chassis with its high quality Fatar action, and adds a great vocoder to the mix, including a gooseneck microphone for instant play.

The Vocoder replaces the equalizer in the string section with the filter bank that models the vocal tract from the speech input. This can produce quite intelligible speech or singing using the fully polyphonic oscillator bank. Formants can be modified, which can result in a perceived change of gender. Adjustable jitter of the string oscillators renders the voice hoarse, creaky or a complete whisper. Solo can pass through the Vocoder or play in parallel.
