What it is

Waldorf Streichfett is a string machine plugin that brings the sound engine of the original Waldorf Streichfett hardware synthesizer into your DAW. The Streichfett was Waldorf's take on the classic ensemble string synthesizers of the 1970s, and this plugin version faithfully recreates its dense, warm string textures. It supports all common plugin formats including VST3, VST2, AU, and AAX, and delivers that distinctive vintage string-machine sound that shaped decades of pop, ambient, and film music.

Who it's for

Producers and composers who need authentic vintage string ensemble textures - whether building classic 70s and 80s pads, layering cinematic beds, scoring ambient music, or adding warm orchestral color to modern productions.
