Analog Modeling Synths semi-modular (modulation matrix 16X16)

16 by 50 multi-voice polyphony

by voice:

3 osc including all wavetables waldorf

FM + 2 multimode filters, three LFOs, four envelopes, two effects drive

UTILIZATION

Synthesis part easier to program if you are used to synthesizers modulation matrices.
However the multiplayer is a little less ergonomic and particularly buggy.
for my part I never needed to open the manual.

SOUNDS

I never use the presets, as the appreciation is subjective, I will not believe it.
filters and envelopes are effective forms of many different waves (wavetable and the PPG Wave XT), the effects of distortion approtent additional colors for stamps.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since May 2010, for its low price it's a VA synth really great if we merely use it in single mode, multi mode for the time being still very buggy. can be a next update to deliver the order in the multiplayer mode. in this case the Blofeld is a synth really exceptional for a ridiculous price, from 16 to 50 multi-voice polyphony to 380 € qd is the same dream!
I also appreciate the small footprint of the machine.

there is also an option that allows SL License to upload their own samples via an editor PC / MAC. I did not purchase this option (60 €). version of the Blofeld keyboard includes this option home.
