Waldorf Crema

This is a kind of Steichfett MK II. Metal front panel. 24 knobs (incl. 8 encoders), 8 buttons, a bit more than 1" OLED display, MIDI in & out via 3.5 mm TRS, USB-C powered (also MIDI connection).

The changes to the Streichfett:

• about twice the number of knobs to edit the addition parameters. Some of them got a Shift-Function.
• Full ADSR for the string section
• Alternativ to string section: wavetable synth with filter and three ADSRs (filter, volume, wavetable position).
  • Poly Saw (sine to saw waveshape)
  • Poly Square (sine to square)
  • Org 1
  • Org 2
  • Org 3
  The other wavetables are the ones we know well from the PPG waves and Waldorf synths:
  • Resonant (PPG wavetable #0 / Waldorf #1)
  • Mallet (#2/#3)
  • Bellish (#4/#5)
  • Add Harm (#9/#10)
  • Clipper (#13/#14)
  • Robotic (#20/#21)
  • ResoHrms (#24/#25)
  • FmntVocl (#27/#28)
  And these from the Waldorf MicroWave V2 inherited:
  • SawSync2 (Waldorf #34)
  • SinSync1 (#39)
  • Distord (#45)
  • Vibes (#63)
  The wavetables are played back in a modern manner, this is without the PPG character. More like every Waldorf hardware synths since the first Waldorf digital synth, the MW II.
• Alternativ to string section: 4 OP FM poly synth with filter and two ADSRs (volume, FM modulation) there are six FM algorythms amd modulations available as template:
  • FM Bell
  • FM E-Piano
  • FM Brass
  • FM Bass
  • FM Wood
  • FM Organ
• You can pan the Texture ("Strings" on Streichfett), Lines ("Solo"") and the Ensemble FX in the stereo field
• The phaser was extended to a multi FXs containing 3 chorus types, 3 flanger types, 3 phaser types, 5 drive modes, 3 delay types. The tremolo of the Streichfett is also included here and can now be used for both sections.
• You can route the multi FX (called FX1) and the reverb (FX2) either in serial or parallel. And you can choose in the Details menues of both section, whether a section is routed to FX1, FX2 or directly to the output.
• The reverb got a separate shimmer and got addition parameters in the shift functions
• Way more slots to store sound to

But no Vocoder as on the STVC. And no Modulation Matrix of the STVC included. And so the way to edit the Ensemble LFOs speeds and amount is not available as on the STVC.

As expected: not full of electronics:

• A Burr-Brown PCM5102 DAC with PLL and 32-bit, 384 kHz PCM Interface. It accepts 16, 24, and 32 Bit audio data. But we don't know the actually bit width.
  
• Texas Instruments TPA6319B2 25 mW stereo headphone driver
• The display covers a cpu with a ball like logo. See picture below.

The ESP32-S3 system on a chip is "hidden" under the display.
