If only all demo's were this professional... Great job Don and amazing collection!

My room was a bit cold (being Winter here in Australia), I was just about to turn the heater on but the Waldorf analogue synth string samples were so warm I didn't need the heater! What a lovely sweet sound, far sweeter than the synths of today!

@Rhizosphere me too, the vc340 does nothing for me. But Behringer have a new Solina string clone on the horizon that sounds spot on. I wish they would clone the Eminent 310

I have the original eminent solina, This is by far one of the best units at creating that swirling phaser sound. At 14:40 mins & seconds it’s almost identical 🎶

This is more than a demo.

This is THE shit. I need to get transcendental. You are from outer space. Cheers, Mr. Space Cowboy

One of the most entertaining synth demos I've seen in quite awhile! Nicely done!

3.40 onwards sounds like Airwolf. love the description on Waldorf's site: "...eight voice solo section, which is essential for recreating how adult movies sounded thirty years ago..."

Best product demo video I've seen in a long time!

I come back to this time and again. Beautiful and breathtaking. Makes me want to go for a drive on a long road with no one around.

Because of this demo, I just bought one today!! Righteous!

Hate these clips. Make me want to buy all the waldorf stuff. Good job

Waldorf owes you some commission, because you just sold me a Streichfett. Great demo of all the sounds you can get out of this unit. Those sounds are exactly what I want out of a poly unit, since I already have some great mono synths.

just this video alone must have sell alot of Steichfetts..

Damnit, this video makes me want to buy the Pulse 2 as well. Don Solaris always has the best stuff.

Thanks James. BTW i was always amused with your avatar because we are so much lookalike it's kinda scary. In fact if i would take the same angle face shot as you did with yours it would be over 95% match.

That's hilarious! :)

OH MY GOD....this machine has blown me away...

Don't know how many times I watched this video. Sounds so good. Phenomenal work Don Solaris❤🔥

this video sells it the best. I dissed this box based on the poor demos elsewhere on youtube and now I feel kinda foolish. Waldorf have not done a great job at marketing it. I can tell you based on this vid and as someone who has owned a few String Ensemble machines in the past , this is most definitely a bona fide String Machine. I would describe it sonically as a very clean sounding Crumar Multiman/Orchestrator. A real Italian job. Instead of paying thousands on old 70's gear this would defo be the way to go

and now I'm actively searching for one of these in the City, thanks DON!

Great on all levels - audio and visual - thanks for all your efforts in making and posting this!

I really appreciate the time you put into this Don, I absolutely must have one of these now! Your italo/Electro inspired tracks were great! Many thanks.

Thank you for the great video of the Streichfett and especially for the part from 3:15 to 4:06. That reminds me on summer holidays in 1979 when I was 6 and my parents and me driving through Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, etc.

THAT classic sound. That creamy spaceyness. My breakfast today. Cool tracks man.

The video makes me realize we all have sound that we need to share. I thought I was happy with my setup and done buying equipment. However this is next level beautiful. Someone invented electronic sounds that stayed within their modest house just like all of the rich indeed immersed in their little world of All our life hoarded the sound that was never heard all around it's so darn easy to think the same that hoarding takes the blues away. All our life we hid the truth Perpetuated lies and sold fake news Create misperception so we could gain More in life we could take away But then the craziness ends with one last breath did transcend and found above a better view beyond the world of... fake news. Someone invented electronic sounds somewhere in the world where we live now its so darn easy to think the same that hoarding will take the blues away.

best demo I've seen, ever.

Just got my wonderful streichfett a few days ago and just can't believe how much I love this synth 😉👍🧐jaffa jenkins dawless jams

Absolutely brilliant, enjoyed every sound

Beautiful, very good song! Great job!

Finally a well produced demo! Thx

Got one after hearing this demo. Superb!

Good démo of this synth and all possibilities! Very nice!!! thank's!

Just Checked your channel, haven't in a while. REALLY impressive on every level. remembered to hit subscribe this time. Cheers!

Very nice demo! Thanks for sharing!

This is beautiful!

So lush! Excellent demo!

Fabulous job Don!

Amazing!! Thanks for this demo, is very illustrative... Greetings from Barcelona.

Nice work. I loved the JMJ at the end. :)

Great work, killer sounds.

Fantastic video, thank you

Very nice video and sounds!

Really inspirational stuff 😊

great sounds!!

This is the only good demo of this I've seen...totally sold

Great work and sound , like !!!

Such a dope video, but now I want a Streichfett, regret selling my old Waldorf Pulse plus, and have the urge to listen to my Orb cds! Fortunately, all three things can be remedied. :)

Dude. Thank you for this.

Nice Mitsu L200 Don! (oh, nice Streichfett too.) Seriously, this is some cool music. It's what the Streichfett was made for. Take care old friend.

great demo! really well done! video also pretty cool!

So I want one all day, but after 20 minutes of it, I felt like I was on the longest call "please hold for your next representative" ever. the sampling at the end was the best part. I can't air to hear some wild up beat shit with it. Make mw wanna dance type grooves. (I'm mixing mine with the groovesizer red)

Thank you very much.

Considering the price this is the best synth I ever bought. Huge Sweetspot. Only thing I miss is a proper filter knob

this is solid gold

great demo and a nice T-shirt :) (also long time, no see old friend :) )

Don Solaris is an album by 808 State I hear Depeche Mode and Jarre and Front 242 and Kraftwerk

great demo

Really enjoyed this...thank you! (subscribed)

You just sold me on the Streichfett, Im getting a pristine 2nd hand one

thanks Don Solaris for great demo , i just looking for a second hand Streichfett , am convicted ;-)

we call this a 'DEMO VIDEO ' thanks a lot and a lot

best demo

Nice job dude! Love the many styles this sound can fit into :) I just discovered Bowie's 'Stay' with the Solina sound, Arp Odyssey & Mellotron, wow!! So sexy:) Impatient to wait for B's Solina copy, I have now acquired this. Woo Hoo, after what I've seen; I'm so glad :)

I have a original solina. The striechfett does a great emulation of it at 15 mins & 30secs.

Which other synth you wish to put in the background? : yes

quick question, Is this bi timbral or more multi timbral or did you have to overdub when you used the streichfett for making the strings, bass and lead all at once?

Holy shit, i'm in space right now

lovely music

I just ordered one last night. Should be here this week. I love the sounds. Very classic sounding. I just got an Acuna 73. I love the feel. I have been playing the sounds in Logic and they are not that great. I plan on getting the Blofeld. I like the rocket and the pulse as well. Do you think the novation bass station is inferior to the pulse 2 ? It's more money but is it better than the bass station ? I don't need the keys of the bass station obviously because I have the Acuna. Just getting into synths. Don't know much about them. I had a motif 6 years ago but only used it for drums really. Thanks.

I like it how you have a Jupiter-8 casually leaning against some shelves.

Sounds great on my studio monitors! :-o Da bass is thumpin' 👍

You left the best bits to last 13:59 and 17:43.Need to try one of these to decide if its better than my JP8000

10:36 - 12:05 love this chords, one of my favorite. 14:36 - sounds like an amazing Tangerine Dream (R.I.P., maestro Froese!) and then J-M Jarre, of course.

very very cool

this thing is just perfect for retrowave

20 flat earthers disliked this video because of the ISS footage 🤔 Can't be because of the sounds!

Some great music here. So how would this compare to say Gforce Virtual String Machine?

Hello Don! Nice demo! Please tell, pitch and modulation wheels work on midi keyboard connected to Streichfett?

Just purchased the Streichfett and I'm loving it but do find if I have the volume on full there is digital noise after the reverb tails and the ensemble button is a bit temperamental sometimes it works first time other times I have to press it 3-4 times to get it to engage. How you finding it have you noticed any strange behaviour?

Great demo. I just ordered one of these, and this video confirms that it was a pretty good buy - at least if I can make it sound like you do! So where did the old video elements come from (like the drive-through-the-countryside footage)? Is this just royalty-free stuff you found on the web?

i like it for it's "imperfect"- L.D. nature, refreshing for these times.

Anyone know the location of the driving videos? It reminds me of some places in PA so I'm interested to see where they actually are

Are all these sounds off the SF? Particularly the opening non percussive parts... Is it a string ensemble+ solo performance from the same tone generator..? Coz it's cool af

masterrr

Wow. Sold.

12:10 Chesey Pad? Spelling see me afterwards Solaris, Cheesey please, 14:43 Splendid UF Orb- tasticaltricknology quite smashing and aurally exciting.

WTF ... Are you working for Waldorf ??? because I saw your video till the end and just after that , i had to buy one .... :) Great job ... three days to wait to get the little monster ... thx Don

Can Largo or Blofeld do the "Jarre style" pad of the end ? and why using the Boss phaser ? is the Streichfett's phaser that bad ?

great demo Don! I bought the Streichfett just because I saw your demo. Is there a way to share patches of the Streichfett? Thanks!

I wanted to buy a Streichfett again. But after this demo I have to admit that there is nothing I could do better. So I leave this instrument to the king.

Great 👏

Excellent video & incredible music! What synth are you playing at 17:44? (black with a 3/5 disk drive on the left side) I've never seen that synth.

That's a Roland XP60, but I suspect he's using it as a master keyboard for the Streichfett.

Now I want it. I probably don't need it. But my collection is nothing like yours and none are wrapped in plastic... So I guess that gives me permission enough. Great vid.

LOL! I knew someone would bring this up! So better to explain right now. I was doing paint job on the walls. Hence why many of the keyboards are protected. And the shelves that you see were put up just few days before that. There's even a vid called Building Synth Shelves that you can check. Enjoy!!!

I have been doing synth demos for almost 12 years now, way back on Sealed's deepsynthesis.net. We had over 1 million total views back then (now unfortunately avail only on webarchive). The only similar thing that existed back then was Synthmania.com. If you're referring to visual part, then again no. My 4 year old "Roland SH-101 subtractive synthesis" video is exactly the same style - i always mix a bit of external & synth imagery. Reason is: I don't have a video camera. I would occasionally borrow it, hence why my resources were limited, and if faced with empty video space i can either: 1) put some external video or 2) do some animations myself. I've studied photography and really DON'T need any external help to do a video. Cheers!

Ok, in the first section, the Streichfett is playing bass.... How do you get it to bounce L/R ? (Multitrack instead of one take?)

Is the Jarre style track at the end using the Streichfett's on board phaser or an external Smallstone pedal?
