{"product_id":"waldorf-stvc","title":"Waldorf STVC String Synthesizer w\/Vocoder","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTVC - String Synthesizer w\/Vocoder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe string section starts with an oscillator bank using octave dividers, followed by a complex mixer, an equalizer and the ensemble effect, just like string machines from the 70's. A single registration knob sweeps through mixer and EQ settings for Violin, Viola, Cello, Brass, Organ, Choir and more for creating rich and creamy sonic textures.\u003cbr\u003eThe Solo section is a 16-voice synthesizer that complements the string sounds. A single Tone knob sweeps through many useful settings. Solo is the sidekick to the strings, but it is powerful enough to be the lead character every now and then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Freeze button lets you freeze a short speech fragment, which is then repeated by the Vocoder whenever a key is pressed. Change of playback speed, like faster, backwards or a complete stop are possible and fun, as well as formant change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA novel Tweak function allows for modification or modulation of details, like e.g. the solo cutoff frequency or the Chorus LFO rate. It is similar to a modulation matrix, but it also allows to alter implicit settings with a fixed value or an offset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree Effects operate simultaneously - Animate is in fact a modulation of the string or vocoder registration, while a Phaser ist a must for any decent string machine. A high quality Reverb with adjustable size can be mixed to the output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTVC comes with a high quality gooseneck microphone that plugs right into the front panel where it belongs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull metal case\u003cbr\u003eKeyboard with 49 keys, aftertouch and velocity\u003cbr\u003eKeyboard transpose +\/- 24 semitones via dedicated switch\u003cbr\u003ePitch bend and Modulation Wheel\u003cbr\u003e128x64 pixel OLED\u003cbr\u003e10 potentiometers, 1 encoder, 9 backlit buttons, 5 switches\u003cbr\u003e44 cm gooseneck microphone with indicator LED\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnections:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMIDI in\/out\u003cbr\u003eUSB\/Power\u003cbr\u003e6.3 mm Sustain Pedal input\u003cbr\u003e6.3 mm Expression\/Ext. signal\u003cbr\u003e3.5 mm Headphone out\u003cbr\u003e6.3 mm Line out Left\/Stereo\u003cbr\u003e6.3 mm Line out Right\/Mono\u003cbr\u003eXLR Microphone jack on front panel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSound engine:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully polyphonic String section\u003cbr\u003eContinuous morphing of String Registration\u003cbr\u003e16 Voice polyphonic Solo section\u003cbr\u003eContinuous morphing of Solo sounds\u003cbr\u003eTremolo for Solo\u003cbr\u003e126 programmable patches in three banks\u003cbr\u003eTweak for modulation and specific adjustments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTVC UIVocoder:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e256 Filter bands\u003cbr\u003eExcellent intelligibility\u003cbr\u003eFormant modification\u003cbr\u003eFreeze mode\u003cbr\u003eFully polyphonic carrier\u003cbr\u003eOptional jitter for string carrier\u003cbr\u003eContinuous morphing of Registration\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEffects:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnimate Effect for modulation of Registration\u003cbr\u003eEnsemble\/Chorus Effect for Strings and Vocoder\u003cbr\u003ePhaser Effect for Strings and Vocoder\u003cbr\u003eReverb Effect\u003cbr\u003eAll Effects available simultaneously\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth: 740mm\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 280mm\u003cbr\u003eHeight (including knobs): 100mm\u003cbr\u003eTotal weight: 7.5kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waldorf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44431152873565,"sku":"930249000328","price":1424.05,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/8179\/7213\/files\/stvc-straight_top.100.jpg?v=1778348793","url":"https:\/\/gearstage.store\/products\/waldorf-stvc","provider":"GearStage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
