Waldorf FTP Archive Available Here

It is very unfortunate and a loss to the electro-music community that Waldorf Music AG has recently become insolvent and their web and FTP sites have gone away. When we got the news, we made a copy of the Waldorf FTP site. A few files are missing, but what we do have is here.

We are not claiming any ownership of the contents of this FTP volume. We offer this as a free service to all Waldorf users out there. This is our way of saying "Thank You" to the Waldorf team; to honor them. It is a sad thing that Waldorf GMBH folded. Their wonderful instruments will hopefully be with us for years to come.

To do our bit to assure the legend of Waldorf will not fade, we are offering upload space for whatever relevant files the Waldorf user community thinks would be fitting and appropriate to add to this file structure. Please get in touch with us, tell us what you have and where in the structure you think it should go.

We are not willing to host copies of full commercial software products from Waldorf. There are, of course, copyright issues. What we are trying to provide here is a user resource, not a free lunch for those who were not willing to buy Waldorf instruments when the company was still in business. To our knowledge, the FTP structure we are providing contains only files that are in the public domain.

If a new resurrected Waldorf GMBH shows up, we will of course take this site down, at least the files copied from the company's FTP site, if that is called for.

There are a few boxes of the PPG VSTi still available at some retailers. Get them if you can! That product is amazing and you can probably get it cheap. The actual instrument is outstanding; I know. I owned several of the original PPG Wave synths way back when they were brand new. The software version is top notch! The only thing I am missing is having the Waveterm on my second monitor.

A significant number of the Waldorf users are getting together at http://www.waldorf.synth.net/. We would really appreciate if any of you guys would add some posts here with links to other Waldorf resources on the net. Also, we have just set up a forum for users to upload patches here on electro-music.com. If you have any interesting patches for Waldorf instruments, please post them here.

If you have any comments, suggestions or complaints, please let us know.
