Waldorf Streichfett stroking keys demo - (edit: youtube forcing ads)

stroking keys & twisting knobs demo: using onboard fx, hissy recording and a dash of cosmic melancholia.
(edit: horrible youtube decision pushing random loud ads on my synth videos...not my decision, sadly out of my control, i don't even get ad-revenue from it).

[@011001er]

Really can't start the day without a dash of cosmic melancholia, in my existential dread.

[@rickr.mortis4821]

Beautiful soundscapes. In your face tweakability too. Love it!!

[@jamieferguson4380]

Wow, this is a truly excellent demo. Really inspiring, and so expertly performed. I haven't really heard anything else like this on KZbin. Thanks so much!

This sounds so beautiful to my ears!!

[@grzegorznikrandt2152]

Really nice ambient sounds :)

[@TheNimasan]

this is such a tremendous lil thing. one of my fav. synths ever!!!! amazing video!!!!

[@nx01craig]

The Streichfett is amazingly easy to program and sounds fantastic!

[@herbertdruschke503]

uff, finally a great demonstration of this machine, letting the sounds evolve in musical ideas. thank you for the really inspiring video. i have to listen to your bandcamp.

Awesome demo - composition! I am so glad I went for this module!

[@seppoinnanen5577]

This is how the music sounds in Pluto. Great!!

[@blipblip88]

a nice demo of this most interesting string mod synths. connected to a delay pedal..say a strymon bigsky, and you could really make some neat cosmic dreamscapes

[@Diamond_Eyes_24]

blipblip88 anything sounds good drenched in reverb....

[@meneerjansen00]

Is this one take? Or multiple layers? Is everything I hear the Streichfett? If so, I'm gonna have to re-examine my Streichfett on how to (re)produce these sounds. Well done! 😀

[@dhollsynthmusic]

thanks mate. yeah, almost all my non-beats music is one-take, single layer, real-time improv...using just the two hands (sometimes using CD's to hold down keys if the synth doesn't have a HOLD function). Then recording the audio and uploaded. Check out this collection of 10 such pieces, it has the longer final Streichfett piece here included (track 6)...free WAV download ifya fancy (just select "0" as price): dholl.bandcamp.com/album/best-of-the-last-10-years-improten - some extra written detail here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaTEiGh8ncqtocU

This is great.

[@whiteman1506]

Sounds like the older Tangerine Dream stuff. Great. :-)

[@dhollsynthmusic]

haha nice one, i'm a proud owner of Phaedra on vinyl. They were magic back then.

[@whiteman1506]

@@dhollsynthmusic I also own some of Tangerine Dreams older music on vinyl. They were magic until Peter Baumann left in 1977...

[@dhollsynthmusic]

@@whiteman1506 aye, at some point their musik lost the mystery. Klaus Schulze also had quite the peak during much of the 70's, check out his Cyborg album. Tho' my favourite from that 70's German synth scene is Musik Von Harmonia....immense! If you enjoy my Streichfett musik, I put these pieces in a longer synth-play album you can listen here: dholl.bandcamp.com/album/according-to-the-prophet

[@derekanderson5607]

@@dhollsynthmusic Hi, on the strength of this demo I've just bought a Streichfett. And, I also bought your music catalogue on bandcamp earlier today. Very well done!

[@dhollsynthmusic]

@@derekanderson5607 appreciate it, Derek! i hope you enjoy :)

[@MegaGrooveMachine]

this is some very cool sounding soundscapes.Hopefully in the near future the Waldorf Streichfett String Synthesizer is the last string machine synth i will purchase and will go along with my other two string machines which are the VC340 by behringer and a classic string machine Duran Duran used, called the Crumar Performer. Together i should come up with some awesome Floyd like soundscapes in my near future like these beautiful soundscapes you have going on...well done dholl synth music well done

[@dhollsynthmusic]

lovely comment, mate. look forward to your efforts! the Polysix is also a beauty for strings, check out my bandcamp for some: dholl.bandcamp.com/track/wishing

[@MegaGrooveMachine]

update got this machine been tweaking around with it.Question how did you get those Farfisa dual organ tones in the 1st pad you demonstrated?

[@gorenix8714]

Nice ❤️👌🏻

[@schmittwilli]

The walmorph is melting. Don´t hissytate to buy one

[@rozzgrey801]

Can't get enough cosmic melancholia, so my Streichfett's arriving the day after tomorrow and then I'll be channeling Edgar Froese!

[@johnhawkins191]

Some of the best landscapes I have heard in a while. Are you using any other effects with it or is it just the Streichfett ???

[@dhollsynthmusic]

i replied to your email, john. yeah just onboard fx, here's a full album of this sort of stuff, the pieces on here make up the middle: dholl.bandcamp.com/album/according-to-the-prophet

is that me or is the image morphing? I mean it could be either my progressive lenses or drugs of some kind

Mate it’s shroomtastic

[@yk2793]

cool

[@applepie5782]

Yes as hissy as silence 😂

[@IllusionInHD]

I just wish it wasn't so damn expensive.

[@dhollsynthmusic]

it's really affordable, considering what you get. About €200-ish, I think.

[@pekkagronfors7304]

@@dhollsynthmusic Approaching €300 now. Still very nice. But the parts inside is around €15-20.

[@profd65]

@@pekkagronfors7304 And how does that make it different from any other product? You do realize that the people that design and make the Streichfett need to buy food and pay their rent just as you do, don't you?

[@profd65]

That's not expensive. And in any case it's luxury item; it's not food or water. Maybe you should take a pay cut so that the products or services your business provide are cheaper for me...are you willing to take that pay cut so I can have lower prices?

[@cleon5967]

great video! is it just the streichfett or you do you have any extra fx?
