Waldorf Blofeld - this is techno

[Tyskiesstiefvater]

is it ooonly blofeld?

[RainMainDein]

Great Pictures, nice sound....

[pixusbubblejet]

are these presets? or your original created sounds?

[ittaital]

@pixusbubblejet

Hi,

As far as I remember these are all presets ! Other music I make involves original synthesis, but this was done when my Blofeld was just out of the box..

[ihasmario]

Old school.

[XYtoTheDoubleG]

awesome song, awesome visuals, awesome work!!!!!!!

[ittaital]

@XYtoTheDoubleG

Wow ! Thank you for the positive feedback. I've just finished a remix, which is not 100% Blofeld, but more punchy instead.

I hope to find the time to upload soon.

You can listen to more of my tunes on soundcloud (.../ittai-barkai) or here on youtube, like the latest upload "Telescope".

[ElektroNoiser]

Great work men!!

[Filthdrive]

Brilliant.

[jjjsupport]

cool !

[jpmartineau]

FYI The video is an excerpt of an awesome movie called Koyaanisqatsi.

[SONGSTICKS]

Hi again IttaiTal

Yup... like this one too !!!

Your film footage is superb.

I wrote a song a while ago just after the events of 9/11 about 9/11.

I was asked to play it on stage at a world peace concert and thought I'd make a youtube vid for it. now. I'm trying to find some suitable 9/11 footage for it but haven't found anything yet. Any ideas?

@SONGSTICKS

Hi,

Let's take this to a private discussion. I'll send you my E-mail details.

Goldbaby has a new sample set out called "When Alien Drum Robots Attack", Im just writing sick electro drum lines iwth it, it'd probably sound sick in your blofeld in sample mode...best sample one shots iver ever heard.

[TheAcidbreed]

Excellent sound, the Waldorfians will love it for sure!

[fuckutube21]

really nice, sounds like early detroit techno, a 909 would add some kick ass pounding' (just a thought)

[ittaital]

@fuckutube21

Hi,

Thanks for the positive comment.

Indeed a drum machine would spice it all up. Agreed.

The initial idea here, was of course to use only the Waldorf Blofeld little synth (recorded on Cubase 3 DAW), so...

@fuckutube21

My friend - I've just finalized a remix version for this is techno, with fat 909 drums. Hope to upload soon.

Thanks for you remarks !

[TheBrooklynbrigde]

good job!!!

[buckley27]

Sweeet!

[digitalbeatsyndrome]

Great work

[CybertechProject]

5 stars, liking it a lot :) I'm currently in the market for a well priced synth, I'm considering the Blofeld, Mopho & Dark Energy :)

[ittaital]

Well I like the Blofeld much.

The Mopho? Why not get a tetra? The Mopho is great but monophonic.

Anyway, enjoy your future synth.

IttaiTal

[CybertechProject]

well, the mopho is pure analog sound, that's why I'm considering it.

also,I have 4 softsynths,that I usually use for multi-voice stuff, but I need something for phat basses

tetra is 700euros, and currently out of my budget. But actually, in the 300-500 euro synths, there are pretty many options :

- Mopho

- Blofeld

- Dark Energy

- eVolver dekstop

- SH201

etc.. options are pretty much. Btw, any chance I could get my hands on a 320kbps version of your track ? I'm totally into Berlin techno..:)

[TR0jAX]

the mopho is actually not full analog, the envelopes are digital, therefore it is hybrid betwenn analog and digital

[likker5tuFF]

@TR0jAX I would have thought digital envolopes are a good idea because u can get super snappy attack times or do u loose some character?

[TR0jAX]

it depends, every analog is diffferent, but analog envelopes have more "life" cause they are not seperated in 128 pieces like digital ones, this can heavily affect the sound chracter. And if its an analog with fast envelopes its better then every digital. Really snappy envelopes which can shake your walls

[ittaital]

Well, for me digital and analogue different.

What makes one better than the other is not merely a technical issue, but our own "human" hearing, which includes psycho-acoustic phenomena, listening habits, music & sound we used to like, etc.

Example -

though CD players have superior audio specifications over turntables, I will many times find myself enjoying the analogue sound of a TT more than that of a CD player.

Just an Analogue Vs. Digital example ...

Ittai

[audiofringe]

@CybertechProject get the spectrial audio neptune II. It kills anything in its price range. Phatist thickist ballsyist analog ive heard in its price range.

[Bruce73X]

Great track and also thank you verrry much for the video - I must have that!

[hofnaar]

that is exactly what i would write here.

thanks bruce for showing me that really cool whole art.

hope we can see more of your blofeld talent in futre hehe. :)

[Stue007]

Very well done....

[willsykes1]

A masterpiece of picture and sound. Perfect Ittai respect.

[ittaital]

Thanks !!

Really appreciated.

Check out the stuff of a guy called VinylJunkie07 as well. Very good stuff.

IttaiTal

[aikighost]

Did you get the new SL expansion yet? If so is it worth the money?

[ittaital]

Hi there,

Sorry, I did not get any expansion.

IttaiTal

[studioworks808]

ittaital is the MAN!!

[TheBasshumer]

thanks a lot =)

[TheBasshumer]

Nice vid

Is there a bmp clock to see the actual bpm in this synth?

[ittaital]

Hi,

If you work in "Mulit" mode (like I have done in these videos, you have a tempo clock in the main "Multi" screen.

Besides that, under the Arpeggiator you can find a BPM metronone.

Ittaital

[Insan3Lik3]

wow thats cool :D its a bit expensive but this sound very cool :D

5/5*

[ittaital]

Hi,

The Blofeld Desktop should cost ~500 USD in the USA.

I think it is a fare price for such a machine ...

Ittaital

[lampeo]

Is this the blofeld desktop and Are they preset sounds?

[ittaital]

Hi,

Indeed this is the blofeld desktop. Sounds are started from presets and then tweaked to mu own preferences.

Ittaital

[DJPaddy643]

nice, but was it really worth spamming every fucking Blofeld video on the web for...

[wizman440]

Excellent. Must. Get. Blofeld.

[boiboiboi85]

good job!

[ittaital]

PeteJames hi,

Well, it's just me playing around with some sounds, I do not remember hearing it somewhere.

If you want I can reopen the project and check the exact notes for you...

Give me a few days till I get to it...

Ittaital

[cosmodrome]

Very very good!

Which sequencer did you use to control the Blofeld?

[ittaital]

Cosmo hi,

Thanks for your positive comments !

Well, it is all recorded on Cubase 3SX. But it is the Blofeld that runs here all arpeggios, sounds and effects, so , the Cubase serves as a method of recording, not really "controlling" the synth.

Saying that, all hi-hats, snares and that long reverb on the snare is from samples played on Cubase.

Everything is EQ'd and beefed up, on the cubase itself as well. The Blofeld has an inherent volume issue...

Ittai B.

[picball39]

is it done only with the blofeld? i am searching for 1machine to make minimal music

[Schizzieful]

I like this piece of music. You use a good combination of sounds for this piece.

[ittaital]

Thank you sir,

I'm actually working on my next piece, hope to upload it in a few hours.

Please give any comments and feel free to subscribe...

Enjoy your day
