The Waldorf Blofeld, Black Synthesizer Module is a compact and lightweight synth full of Waldorf's legendary sounds and technology. The Blofeld is heavy duty in design, thanks to it's full metal chassis. The Blofeld will accommodate producers and musicians with the very best fat and rich sounds for any studio.
The Blofeld by Waldorf features a wavetable engine just like the high-end Waldorf synths. The Blofeld is based upon the revolutionary PPG Wave synthesizers of the early 80s, to produce fresh sounds for today's hit music. Be prepared for edgy, hard-hitting and bell-like timbres and tones, only fitting for popular and creative music.
All this and more is packed into the slim and elegant device that is Blofeld. Three oscillators offers authentic circuit-models of analogue waveforms: Pulse with variable pulse-width, sawtooth, triangle and the ever popular sine wave. The Blofeld includes all ROM Wavetables from Waldorf's flagship synth the Wave, as well as Microwave II/XT.
The Blofeld has an easy to use interface and a detailed graphic display. All rotaries and knobs are made from steel. Browsing through the Blofeld has been made easy. Selecting a category with the right dial (under the display) causes Blofeld to show only sounds belonging to that particular category. The creative possibilities are endless with the Blofeld.
