The Features Offered By The Waldorf Blofeld Synthesizer

By Russell Strider


If you are a musician, you likely already are aware of the Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer. When you take a look at it, it is a tiny little thing and you wouldn't think that it really works. But its bite is bigger than its bark. This beautiful little steel keyboard is about two feet long and a foot wide but its shimmering dun screen and the aluminum encoders cause it to be a really satisfying instrument. It is easy to look at and equally as easy to work with. The slimline appearance helps make it very easy to transport around and it won't fail to win over viewers with the quality workmanship.

Technical Features

The Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer provides three oscilloscopes for each voice and this means that at least two are capable of delivering synthesis of tones or analogues. Though it's tiny, it manages to include almost all of the features that are necessary in a traditional synthesizer product. All this means that the product offers a flexibility that is not offered by different machines. The 3 oscillators are freely routed through two different filters and they are able to deliver a wide range of waves. You can obtain analog waves or digitizable tables that can be blended to produce the best sounds. The third is VA only but its really worth the money.

Combining those features with the top quality arpeggiator and effect slots means that these particular units include effects slots, flanger, phases, a special chorus and triple effects features that can be mixed to provide a complete selection of new features. Ideally, we would recommend that you check out each of the effects like the delay, the clocked delay and the reverberation features that are listed on Effect 2 in advance of actually attempting to mix anything. Analyze all of the functions before you begin but seriously it does not take very much time to get the hang of it.

One of the top features of the Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer is the large screen and steel knobs that make it truly easy to use. Nevertheless, the polished steel might make this model a little bit slippery. The knobs regulate the parameters of the sound creating a really great sound. The sound it delivers is normally WALDORF in nature. You may not have the ability to get fat basses due to the smaller size of the keyboard but you will get distinct and sharp sounds. If you would like you can then sharpen the sounds to make them warmer however more bass just isn't really possible.

The only real problem is that the back of the machine has only two audio outputs and it can do with many more in order to make it more versatile and easy to work with. The single MDI port is rather limited in use and two more are a definite requirement.
