Largo GUI

[Paprika]

Things I miss in Virus Control:
- Off course Octave selector
- LFO display, does anybody like blinking LED on front panel?
- ON/OFF switchers. Do filters and oscillators suck CPU even if aren't used (balanced to either one)? I guess they do!
- Not very wanted, but nice to have Onscreen Keyboard and Equalizer View.

Honestly, I just find the Virus TI GUI was easier to stare at and use. I think that Waldorf may have made their synth interface a bit too shiny for my taste.

In terms of sound, I was surprisingly not very impressed, certainly can't compete with the Virus TI in my personal opinion. I have my 30 day demo from today though, so I plan to continue playing with it over the coming weeks to make my final decision.

You make some good observations though mate, and I agree, esp with the EQ curve, that would be incredibly useful.

I have to agree, im not that impressed. It seems the interface, like Terratec Komplexer, is a bit behind the times. aside from a CPU hog, The most annoying thing is the fact it uses single column pop-up menu for wavetables, and patches. But the sound is dead on Waldorf.. very impressive.. love the fast envelopes!

I agree with your points, however find it amusing that you point out "on screen keyboard" but not "Multi layer editing". I would prefer the later a lot.

Graphic display of the LFO, EQ etc has been on my wish list since day 1. But not if it slows down development of musical features.

I don't think we need on/off switches the TI handles its resources dynamically, although having unused features greyed out for quick reference would be cool. I've seen that in other synths.

bass sound is very good on largo, one of the best softsynths round

Indeed! Just bought it. Bass sounds deep and controlled! Has got lots of potential, just need more patches now!
