A Modern Tribute to the Iconic "String Machines"
The Waldorf Streichfett captures the spirit of the string machines that marked pop, disco, synthwave, and film music. Rather than copying a single model, it condenses what makes these textures charming: wide pads, silky choirs, lush ensembles, and crescendo attacks. The result: a compact, performance-oriented synthesizer designed to quickly achieve credible and inspiring string sounds without complex menus.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
The Streichfett is aimed both at beginner musicians seeking effective presets and advanced users wanting a machine dedicated to pads and harmonic support. In the studio, it excels at dressing an arrangement (pads, choirs, organs, brass) and adding a retro signature effortlessly. In live settings, its straightforward approach (balance, split/layer, effects) facilitates transitions and layering of textures, especially in electro, synthwave, pop, ambient, and soundtrack music.

Excellent string synth with a very typical retro sound. Perfect when it comes to getting off the beaten path of electronic music, it's not only used to reproduce Jean-Michel Jarre or an 80s porn movie soundtrack:D
I mainly use it for black metal and chiptune music.
It is compact, easy to handle and comes with its editing software and a power adapter.
The only downside: some sounds are a bit louder than others.

An excellent value for money. Enough to find (or almost) the sound of certain vintage strings without breaking the bank.
