Apple – Logic Pro X – new DAW – no update option for previous Users – catches up to the others..

Waldorf Nave App – Wavetables reloaded

so, nun ist der im SynMag und auf der Messe angekündigte Waldorf Nave. Das ist eine iOs App auf Basis von Wavetables und ist sowohl in seiner Komplexität mit Modmatrix und Wavetable-Synthese als auch sonst ein eigenständiger Synthesizer – natürlich drängt sich der Vergleich mit dem PPG Wavegenerator auf, der nun seinen Erfinder Wolfgang Palm als Konkurrenz hat. Allerdings ist dies nun basiert auf die 3D Darstellung der Waves und es gibt eine Abteilung für Formant-Spectrum Manipulation. Dazu mehr, wenn ich die App selbst mal in Betrieb sehe. Knapp 11€…
