Just thought I'd post this in the lounge in case anyone fancies a butchers. The infamous retro-porn-music production box from Waldorf, Streichfett finds her clothes removed by some bloke wearing overalls, and we get to discover her secrets; she shares the same heart as Axoloti (well almost, same series at least).
For such a cool product it's surprisingly sparse inside that box!
For those unaware of the reason for her existence, nick gives a clue ...
Ah yes, Stefan Stenzel, the guy who created Streichfett!
Thanks very much for posting that. I didn't understand it but believe it or not, I did sort of get what he was talking about in general (I think). Just a very amateur guess here but was he demonstrating an efficient way to get so much polyphony, and did it include some sort of cross-processing trick?
Regardless, it was definitely "Streichfett Exposed" and by her own creator as well, very cool 
So is that blit technique a Waldorf thing, or could it be used by the Axo object coders on here as well? Have to say, very good of him to share this stuff when he's a commercial developer, or maybe that is normal, I don't know to be honest.
Blits are around for more than 25 years now. They are a nice way to alias waveforms with discontinuities.
see https://sebiik.github.io/community.axoloti.com.backup/t/tiar-smashedtransistors-contributions/2737/160 fo a basic object.
I completely missed those string synth objects you uploaded, really looking forward to playing with those if/when I get to access my Axo again!
So that blit-based object you made, would that make its oscillators morphable like the registration oscillator is in the Streichfett? I recall a while back I asked Remco about morphable oscillators but he already had one (but different). Unfortunately I had tons of crap to deal with at the time (and still do), so have not had the chance yet to really try it properly.
I'm a big fan of the Streichfett, but have to say, I very much agree with Nick in that it's a real shame there's no delay, it really should have had a delay, and in my opinion, an audio input so that other equipment could be put through the Streichfett's effects which I think are really nice.
I think a lot of it though comes down to the registration oscillator being morphable, I really like that and will definitely create something some day that makes use of a morphable oscillator.
But yup, shame about the lack of a delay. I understand that creating a delay in DSP is a resource hog, but he managed to make the string polyphony a whopping 128 notes, which is very impressive, but who on earth is going to run-up 128 notes?
I really wish Stefan had lessened the polyphony in order to facilitate a delay, cause I reckon even 32-note polyphony would be sufficient for a DSP-based string synth. I can't say for sure that 96-notes less polyphony would have permitted a delay, but it seems as if it would.
It's been a while since they announced it, but I'm pleased to hear it's finally been released.
The STVC is a Streichfett with a Vocoder patched into the engine, in fact I assume that STVC stands for STreichfett Vo Coder (or perhaps it means STring Vo Coder).
Again though, no delay, how odd, it's as if the dev is allergic to delays 
Really makes me wonder what it is that is making him omit a delay from the spec of these units, seems really odd but I suppose there's a very good reason for it 
I got both the Micro Q and a Blofed and to be honest, I don't find waldorf's effects to be very good. So probably better just getting a dedicated delay to add after it.
Haven't got either of those so can't comment, but I definitely like what they did with Streichfett. No problem adding a nice knob-ridden delay to make it complete, but still odd there isn't one on-board.
Think about it, if he'd reduced the polyphony to 32, he could times that by four and that would still total 128 notes. And by that I mean rather than use conventional delay-line DSP technique, he could have used 32 notes for the actual note being hit (giving 32-note polyphony), and retrigger the note up to three times to give up to three 'taps' of the delay for each of those 32 notes.
32 notes + 3x taps per note would equal 128 notes, or, 4x 32 actual notes being triggered at a maximum depending on how a person looks at it.
Perhaps I should be advisor to Stefan at Waldorf, what do you reckon?
Actually, don't answer that, I was only joking

Damn, just missed it, what did tele_player just withdraw?
Nothing bad about Axoman Industries I hope
