Waldorf has announced the release of the iOS version of its virtual string synthesizer, bringing the sound of classic string synthesizers to a mobile platform.
Based on the same dual sound engine as the Streichfett hardware and plug-in version, the app reproduces the tonal characteristics associated with string machines widely used in 1970s and 1980s film music.
Streichfett for iOS offers massive strings as well as delicate nuanced sounds.
As in the plugin version the clearly structured user interface offers direct access to all important sound shaping parameters. Making and playing music is the main focus here. With a few taps and swipes, drastic sound changes are easily made and can be saved as your favourite presets.
The dual sound engine of the Streichfett features a fully polyphonic String Section and an eight voice Solo Section. The Ensemble Effect provides depth and movement to the String Section, while the Effects Section adds adjustable Phaser and Reverb effects. Additionally, the Animate Effect can be used to modulate the Strings Registration, allowing spectacular sound morphs.
The Solo Section offers presets named Bass, E-Piano or Clavi, these are shimmering and slightly percussive sounds that blend well with the String Section. Although the User Interface is simple and easy to comprehend, it controls a rather complex sound engine which is capable of delivering rich and creamy pads unlike any other instrument.
Streichfett for iOS/AUv3 is available from the App Store for an introductory price of 9.99 EUR (incl. VAT) / $9.99 USD until July 13th, 2025 (regular 17.99 EUR incl. VAT) / $14.99 USD.
