Waldorf Blofeld Guises As Ableton Live Controller For Demo

Bill Holland hooks up the Waldorf Blofeld to Ableton Live to get his old school hardware control on. What he comes up with sounds something like a circus of dolphin song and twittering mantids, which is just what you want on a hot club night. I mean, I do, anyway.

@lonelywolfy the blofeld is great but its not so intuitive as a virus ti desktop, I have the virus ti snow, and a blofeld and the virus ti snow is very intergrated with any DAW but blofeld you would have to do all the knob and sound selection from the synth itself instead through the synth Plugin like the virus has. but I love both synth the virus ti snow and the blofeld I just love the combo.

@lonelywolfy

Otherways good plan but i guess you would miss the knobs.

DSI Evolver has same capabilities as P08 plus two wavetable OSC's added to it. Theres also 3-tap delays and four small analog type of sequencers per patch. More than 2 x sound editing power compared to P08. Basic models have no polyphony though.

BUT if you buy Blofeld you'll get source for polyphonic sounds and vast amount of choices there. Still not enough knobs though.. .

what do you guys think of the sound from this versus something more analog? i have a dsi prophet 08 which is my one and only synth atm but im thinking about selling it and buying 2-3 other less expensive synths so i can get things for different tasks/different characteristics. the blofeld is one on the list since i found one used pretty cheap.

no,its digital.

there is a version with keys and desktop version with no keyboard (cheaper one)

[aikighost]

There is the Blofeld Keyboard too, they both use the same sound generation at their core.

[PAvelraver]

is it analog?

[leerique]

there are two versions of blofeld. one called "Blofeld Keyboard" and has a keyboard with 49-keys.

I frakkin LOVE my blofeld. But alas, I just sent it to MV pro audio for a TOTAL board swap out. The board i had in before corrupted one of the encoders every time a new one was put it.
