The 49-key Blofeld keyboard is set apart by its user-friendly flexibility when it comes to sample memory. It enables the player to import his or her own sample libraries for near limitless sonic capabilities. As you can imagine, this feature opens up new creative pallets for the musician.
Beneath the 2.8-by-1.5-inch, black-on-white backlit LCD, two soft-knobs scroll context-sensitive menus and adjust onscreen values.
In 2004 it looked like game over for Waldorf, but the German company are back, with a hardware synth that more than lives up to their former reputation...
It's my first Waldorf product and I am quiet impressed ! sound engine is rich and impressive. build quality is great ! If you are into wavetable it is a must have!
This synth is versatile as any I've worked with thus far. Tender little twinkles, robust booming bass, shimmering pads, leads that can tear a hole though space and time, and thick atmospheres. Make sure to train your ears beforehand because if you aren't careful it'll blast them off.
This module is a great intermediate step into synthesis. The sound quality is very good, the feature set is very extensive, and it's inexpensive. While not really very analog sounding, you can get close. But you can also explore sounds far beyond what a typical analog synth can do.
a really nice synth with great capabilities and quite deep synthesis. great sound, metal enclosure nice
I use a lot of different synth in my career, i have to admit i was quite suspicious on this because with a price like that i wasnt waiting nothing special, but when i unpacked it and i try it...i remain speechless!
As a new blofeld user I have mixed feelings about it. Overall its great but if youre going to buy it you should be ready to know some limitaions of this little synth. As a virtual analog synth blofeld is definitely superb.
I hatte eine Retoure unit bestellt, welche zum Glück schon mit SL License kam. (Wusste ich vorher nicht.) Pro: Die vielen Waveforms/Wavetables Easy zu Bedienen Wenn man ein großes Masterkeyboard hat, braucht man nur die Rack version und kann Geld sparen Wenn man SL License hat, dann die zusätzlichen...
Many of the bugs mentioned in other reviews are resolved. My unit shipped with the 1.24 firmware, no freezing so far and the encoders operate without glitches. Massive range of options from bread and butter synth tones to out there sound design.
Pros: 1) Unbeatable price/performance. 2) Quite impressive sound if you tweak it right. I have to say that factory presets are terrible and dated. 3) In a real life 4 knob matrix is rather comfortable,. That was a surprise for me. 4) Small footprint. 5) Metal enclosure.
"Probably the best full fledged synth out there that fits in a backpack" I'm having a rather intimate relation with my blofeld since 2010 and still it keeps amusing me everyday.
