You might remember the announcement back on March 27. It looks like the press release is now up on the official Waldorf site, however, discchord wrote in to let me know he has some exclusive details from Tempo-Rubato's developer Rolf Wöhrmann.
"The primary concept behind the synth is an evolution of the design in Waldorf's PPG series synths. These wavetable synths used a set of tables, which included various waveshapes. Think of Animoog's timbres, but you've got a bunch together in a table. I mean a whole hell of a lot. The PPG Wave 2 had 30 Wavetables with 64 waves per table. Once a table is selected you can then pick out an individual wave from the table, and use that as something like a second oscillator.
In the as-yet-unnamed synth from Waldorf-Tempo Rubatos, you start off with the same idea... and then double it! As you can see from the screenshot, the Wave 1 and Wave 2 are both working on this principal, but with their own waves and wavesets! As with more typical synthesis, the "oscillators" can be pitched differently for wider sounds. Things get even more robust when you can tweak the spectrum of each, as well as add noise individually. Every control is doubled, so even key-tracking can be independent..."
