LARGO 2 has been redesigned to offer a scalable user interface for use on modern laptop monitors with 5K or FHD resolution, and is also fully compatible with existing sound libraries and available sound sets.
Largo 2 is a software synthesizer with Waldorf DNA. A complete Waldorf synthesizer for your virtual rack. The user interface has been redesigned to ensure continuous scalability.
Whether you’re using a 5K monitor or an FHD laptop screen, whether you’re viewing it at full size or as a small status display, the plugin always stays in focus.
3 fat oscillators per voice (two of them with sub-oscillators) with classic waveforms and 68 Wavetables taken from the legendary Microwave and Wave synthesizer, as well as Q and Blofeld – 2 independent multi-mode filters – up to 4 layers per sound and 4 stereo outputs.
We’ve added different types of three-formant filters that simulate the frequency response of the human vocal tract. Using the cutoff parameter, you can change the aeiou vowel frequency for all your favorite choruses and voice modulations.

Changelog v1.0.1
Bug fixes
- New alternative UI coloring (Dark Mode) with higher contrast.
Activated/deactivated through the “File” menu. The selection is used as the initial choice for new instances of Largo 2 (does not affect running instances). - Plugin UI resizing no longer applies when loading a bank with
resizing information from Largo 2, only when loading a DAW project (DAW dependent). - Several improvements to the file and program browser, e.g.
- Load a bank/preset by double-clicking.
- Multi-select in the file browser.
- Prevent deletion of scan folders and local library.
- More warning dialogs for unsuccessful operations.
- Loading AU presets from the file browser.
- AU in Logic Pro with Apple Silicon: Local library is now visible in the file browser.
Browser. Installed presets are now located in the /Users/Shared/Waldorf/Largo2/Presets directory (AU Plugin version only). - Added tags and audio previews for 128 NKS presets in the “Factory Default” bank.
- NKS preset files are now VST3 based rather than VST based as NI is moving away from further VST support in their DAWs.
The VST version of Largo 2 is still fully functional in NI DAWs that support VST, but our preset files for Largo 2 will now always run a VST3 instance. - Reduced delay when changing programs.
- Fixed manual entry of values, including for non-standard designations such as “80%” and special values such as “free”.
- Fixed unsolicited value change when clicking on the horizontal/vertical slider in the value field.
- Fixed the message about changing the program to the host (thus eliminating problems when DAW projects did not save/restore the current program number).
- The current value of the Length, Slip, and ARP Pattern Stepper controls are now shown in the top parameter status display when you hover over them
with the mouse or change their value. - Fixed display update when changing category.
