Preface
We are happy if you don’t read this
manual …
04
… because as with all Waldorf instruments, our goal during development of
Zarenbourg was to design the user
interface to be as intuitive and selfexplanatory as possible. In case you do
decide to read it, you may very likely
skip over this preface and jump straight
to the hard facts. However, if you decide – against all odds – to continue
reading here, you will be rewarded in
the end!
During conception of Zarenbourg piano, we wanted to create an instrument where playing is the primary
focus. Usually electronic keyboards
require a lot of accessories and addons like keyboard stands, amplifiers,
etc. that you have to assemble and
connect before you can even hear the
first note. We have tried to minimize
these often frustrating obstacles with
Zarenbourg so that you can approach it
as a true musical instrument.
One element that often adorns most
electronic keyboards nowadays is the
digital display or LCD. But with Zarenbourg, we deliberately decided to omit
it. An LCD demands so much attention
that it often steals the show. We think
you should instead stay focused on
playing music. Moreover, we also consider the LCD to be a aesthetic catastrophe. So instead, we made the sophisticated Zarenbourg architecture
easily accessible by extracting some
concepts not only from musical instru-
ments, but also from analog electric
devices like car radios and tape recorders that are surprisingly easy to navigate without a display. And of course
with its sounds, Zarenbourg recreates
archetypal keyboards with an emphasis on classic, vintage electro-mechanical instruments of the last century.
The fact that the underlying technology
is anything but vintage should not concern you while playing your Zarenbourg piano. You play the music, we’ll
handle the rest.
