STVC String Synthesizer / Vocoder Keyboard

Waldorf STVC

Waldorf’s Streichfett Keyboard (STVC) is a combination of a string synthesizer and vocoder with a unique flavor. It features a 49-note keybed with aftertouch, pitch bend, and modulation—all housed inside a rugged metal chassis. Its convenient OLED display gives unfettered access to 126 user-programmable patches spread across three banks. On top of all this, STVC features a powerful and intelligible vocoder with freeze mode, a polyphonic carrier, and gender modifier.
