Description

Blofeld Module Black. The engine inside the heavy-duty metal chassis of the Blofeld delivers the fat and rich sound so many Waldorf users love when they play their Pulse, Q, Q+, Micro Q, Microwave, Microwave II/XT, or even the flagship Wave. The Blofeld not only produces warm, organic analog sounds known from the Q synthesizer line, it also has a wavetable engine like its predecessors with "Wave" in their names. This unique synthesis system is based upon the revolutionary PPG Wave synthesizers of the early 80s. So when you listen to the Blofeld for the first time, you will instantly recognize those edgy, hard-hitting and bell-like timbres that have been an integral part of so many world hits from the PPG era on, and become increasingly popular once more. This complex technology all resides in a slim and elegant device that can sit inconspicuously on your desk while issuing the Waldorf sounds you love. All for a price no one would have imagined a couple of years ago.

    • A Powerful Flexible Unique Polyphonic Synthesizer
This is a pretty flexible digital desktop synthesizer at a very great price. The Blofeld is a very unique synthesizer, with a lot of features not found on typical synthesizers. SOUND QUALITY Sound quality without effects (reverb, chorus, etc.) is professional level comparable to an Access Virus TI2 without effects. An Access Virus has a bit better effects however, but costs considerably more than a Blofeld. CONTROLS While many more pricey desktop synthesizers have plenty of buttons and knobs, the Blofeld has only a few buttons and knobs. I saw this as a weakness originally, but the interface is very well designed. Most of the critical adjustments are easily made by pressing a single button and then moving the associated parameter value knobs. There are 4 main parameter category buttons that can select 4 different main parameter categories (oscillators, filters, modulation, and effects/arpeggiator). The oscillator button can select oscillator 1, 2, or 3. The filter button can select filter 1 or 2. The modulator button select filter envelope, amp envelope, LFO, and matrix categories. You can tell which category you're in by an LED that lights up indicating which category is currently selected. The values that each of the 4 knobs on the right can adjust is written directly above each knob in a grid on the right of the category LEDs, making it easy to know exactly what you're adjusting with one of the 4 knobs. It's a pretty nice layout. The parameter you're adjusting is also displayed on the LCD screen. There's a 5th category button called play, which allows you to select which part you're currently playing or modifying. This play button is near the LCD screen. On the left of the LCD screen there's also another parameter category rotary knob that controls which page of a parameter category you're editing on the screen. The LCD screen has 2 devoted parameter modification knobs below it. Their parameter name is displayed above them on the LCD screen. It's a fairly consistent interface. You have a category knob, and 5 category buttons, and parameter adjustment 6 knobs that work on whatever is the current selected category. It's easy to learn. You don't need to look at the manual to figure it out. FIRMWARE UPDATE 1.25 IS NEEDED! When I received my Blofeld, it had OS version 1.24 on it, which has a bug where the mix knob would periodically stop working. This was fixed by upgrading the Blofeld to 1.25. If you purchase the Blofeld, and you don't have 1.25 on it, make sure to update to 1.25. OPTIONAL SAMPLE PLAYBACK FEATURE (SL LICENSE) The optional purchasable SL License feature allows you to load full stereo sound samples for use as oscillator sources allowing full chromatic stereo polyphonic multi-sample playback. This is a feature not found on many synthesizers. Not even the Access Virus TI2 has this feature! The keyboard version comes with the SL License pre-installed. But if you want it for the desktop version, it's an additional purchase. I purchased the SL License to open up this fantastic feature. I have used it to load a fairly realistic stereo piano multi-sample into the Blofeld, which I can modulate, filter, etc., just as if it's using normal oscillators! Very cool indeed. The samples load as mono only, but to get stereo, you load the left audio multi-sample into oscillator 1, and the right audio multi-sample into oscillator 2, and then you pan the oscillators so that oscillator 1 is left and oscillator 2 is right. That gives you a full stereo sample. Quite nice. To load multi-samples into the Blofeld, you use the free SPECTRE software from Waldorf. It has direct support for WAV, KMP, and WMP files. I have been able to load many of my old multi-sample soundfonts I have into the Blofeld. Unfortunately, it doesn't directly support soundfonts. I use Polyphone (a free soundfont editor) to export soundfonts into SFZ format (make sure to split stereo samples into L/R samples if you want stereo) which has all the soundfont's original sample WAV files extracted into a subfolder. Then I can load the WAV files from that SFZ subfolder directly into Blofeld's SPECTRE software to send to the Blofeld over USB. SUMMARY This is a feature rich synthesizer. Don't let it's simple control panel fool you. It is packed with tons of features not found in other synthesizers twice the price. It's well worth the money. UPDATE: I've used it extensively for 4 years now. Still works great. All the controlls are still smooth. Not a single problem. Love it. Make sure you have the latest update. It fixed all the issues. ... show more

Very flexible synthesizer, comes loaded with an insane amount of pre-sets. Editing is slightly frustrating (ugh, a grid) but that is made up for big time by the elegance of the display. The sound is eh, but I think this is a good solution for people who want a step up for a starter synth and/or want to play around with multi-mapping (which I haven't tried but sounds fun) ... show more

    • Not worth the price
Many of the sounds are very good, but for the price I was expecting more useful sounds like those used in songs by artists under the Mute label like Yaz (Situation), Depeche Mode (Get the Balance Right, The Landscape is Changing), and Erasure. It's only worth $300. I'm sad again.

    • Sounds great but unreliable.
I bought one of these and it came with a ton of issues right out of the box. Almost every present clipped terribly and sounded very distorted. I exchanged it for another one which worked for about a week and then had the same issue. It's a really a shame because working units sound fantastic but they are few and far between. ... show more

    • I've been having a lot of fun with this
I've been having a lot of fun with this, it sounds great, and is easy to program. I was initially worried about the usability of the matrix editing, since I used to have a microQ, and I ended up getting rid of it because it was such a pain to program. However, programming the blofeld is much easier, thanks to it's larger screen, and button-per-function navigation. I have a Virus B, which this complements nicely. The Blofeld is much less opinionated about how you should go about programming it, and I've found that it lends itself towards more detailed patches. The wavetables are really cool also. ... show more
