If you are a musician, you probably already are aware of the Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer. When you look at it, it is a tiny little thing and you wouldn't think that it works. But its bite is bigger than its bark. This pretty little steel keyboard is about two feet long and a foot wide however its shimmering dun screen plus the aluminum encoders cause it to be an extremely pleasing instrument. It's easy to look at and just as easy to use. The slimline appearance will make it extremely easy to transport around and it will not fail to impress viewers with the high quality workmanship.

Technical Features

The Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer features three oscilloscopes for each voice and because of this no less than two are capable of delivering synthesis of tones or analogues. Even though it is small, it manages to incorporate nearly every one of the features that are required in a standard synthesizer model. All of this implies that the unit provides you with a versatility that is not provided by different products. The 3 oscillators are freely sent through two distinct filters and they can create an extensive range of waves. You can get analog waves or digitizable tables that may be combined to produce the very best sounds. The third is VA only but its really worth the money.

Combining those capabilities with the high quality arpeggiator and effect slots ensures that these particular units come with effects slots, a special chorus, flanger, phases and triple effects capabilities that may be combined to provide a whole range of new characteristics. If at all possible, we would suggest that you test out all of the effects such as the delay, the clocked delay and the reverberation features which are listed on Effect 2 before actually attempting to mix anything. Review all the functions before you start but frankly it does not take that much time for you to get the hang of it.

One of the best features of the Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer stands out as the large screen and steel knobs that make it genuinely easy to use. Nonetheless, the polished steel can make the product just a little slippery. The knobs modulate the parameters of your sound resulting in a truly great sound. The sound that it produces is normally WALDORF in nature. You may not be able to get fat basses due to the small size of the keyboard but you will get clear and sharp sounds. If you would like you'll be able to then sharpen the sounds and make them warmer however more bass isn't really possible.

The only real problem is that the back of the unit has just two audio outputs and it could do with a lot more in order to make it a lot more versatile and easy to use. The single MDI port is very limited in use and two more really are a definite requirement.
