The Waldorf Blofeld Synthesizer Offers Great Sound In A Small Package

By Russell Strider


If you're a musician, then you likely already know about the Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer. When you examine it, it's a tiny little thing and you would not believe that it works. Nevertheless its bite is bigger than its bark. This pretty little steel keyboard is approximately two feet long and a foot wide but its shimmering dun screen plus the aluminum encoders make it a very satisfying instrument. It is easy to look at and just as easy to work with. The slimline appearance makes it extremely easy to carry around and it won't fail to make an impression on viewers with its excellent quality workmanship.

Technical Features

The Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer includes three oscilloscopes for each voice and because of this a minimum of two are capable of offering synthesis of tones or analogues. Though it is tiny, it manages to incorporate just about all the features that are required in a traditional synthesizer model. All this suggests that this product provides a versatility that is not offered by other machines. The 3 oscillators are freely routed through two different filters and they are able to create a broad range of waves. You can obtain analog waves or digitizable tables that can be mixed to create the best sounds. The third is VA only however its really worth the money.

Combining these capabilities with the top quality arpeggiator and effect slots means that these particular devices come with effects slots, a special chorus, flanger, phases and triple effects features that can be combined to create a complete selection of new features. If at all possible, we would advise that you test out all of the effects like the delay, the clocked delay and the reverberation features that are listed on Effect 2 before actually trying to mix anything. Check out all the functions before you start but frankly it does not take very much time to get the hang of it.

Among the top features of the Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer stands out as the large display and steel knobs which make it genuinely easy to use. However, the polished steel can make this product a little slippery. The knobs regulate the parameters of your sound generating a truly great sound. The sound that it delivers is typically WALDORF in nature. You might not have the ability to obtain fat basses due to the small size of this keyboard however you will get crystal clear and sharp sounds. If you want it is possible to then sharpen the sounds to make them warmer however a lot more bass is not really possible.

The only real issue is that the back of the device has just two audio outputs and it could do with many more to make it more versatile and easy to use. The single MDI port is rather limited in use and a couple more are a definite requirement.
